Well, there is only one way to find out. Looks to me like it uses a copy of a Honda XR200 engine. It ought to be alright for running around town but I would keep it off the freeways. For $1500 you can pick up a used Ninja 500 or a Suzuki GS500 or a slew of other kinds of bikes.
Does anyone know anything about these bikes?
I am a newbie to this website. And am not a motorcycle rider, but i am thinking about getting a bike just for a comute back and forth to work. The bike i am considering is a Rakatak 200cc bike. It's a ninja style bike. They run for about $1500 i think. If anyone else knows about the dependabiliy of these bike it would be greatly appreciated.
I know its not a honda or yamaha, but is it anywhere close to as depndable.

+1 I would spend the money on a used ninja. Tons of used parts out there for them if you should need them.Well, there is only one way to find out.

Me too. Though the low price is tempting. I would actually like to try one of those out myself just to see if it be worthwhile just for an in town bike. I don't think I would take it out on the highway.I would spend the money on a used ninja. Tons of used parts out there for them if you should need them.
looks to good to be true, I think I heard about these from my friend and he said they are chinese ****. I think they would be more of a hassle then they are worth, plus parts won't be easy to find.
I have a RAKATAK and its way to much of a hassle to find parts. no one will ever help you work on them. i wish i would never have bought mine. waste of money go for something else
RAKATAK? Sounds like the noise my old Triumph made when it was about out of oil.
