This all started out when I was on the internet checking out Craigslist website and searching on used motorcycle for sale. I came up on an add on a SkyTeam ST200 dirt bike that came with an extra engine for the sum of $300.00 which needed some TLC, at the time I really didn't have a lot of knowledge about dirt bikes, so I did a internet search on the dirt bike and came up as a clone of the Honda XR200 kinda of a bootleg version that was made in china. This chinese dirt bike is no longer in production so the parts are very hard to locate in the united state but you can find some original parts in the United kingdom.
So I decided to set up a day and time to check out the Skyteam ST200 in person, it was about half an hour way from me, when I was ready to head down it was raining real hard that morning so I ask my little brother to ride shock-gun with me to kelp me load the bike on the van if I buy it. Once I got to the location where the bike was kept at it was a car garage turn into a bike shop/Team club, I got a chance to see the bike in person and it was in bad shape missing most of the plastic body panels no brakes or rear brake pedal plus it was faded and some surface rust all over the frame. He had the bike running but I couldn't test drive the bike due to no brakes, so I offer him $250.00 he said he can't let it go for that amount, so I offer him $275.00 and he said okay but he didn't had change for the $280.00 so that's what I payed for it.
