dp-ktm, not sure who the engine is made by, if not by Skyteam themselves, but when they were available here in the US through United Motors, they had a decent warranty on the bikes and the engines. However, their sales were slow due to the $3,000 US retail price, and people were hesitant to buy a Chinese-made bike for that price. You are also not impressed with the design, and that seems to weigh heavily with you, and your leaning to the Apollo. Their air-cooled engines are probably not any better or worse than the Zongshen that Apollo uses in their bike, but that is just gut feelings vs. any statistical findings, so if someone who is familiar with Skyteam wants to elaborate for dp-ktm...
