there is no way on this earth that any skyjet no matter what model it is will ever keep up with an italian sportsbike such as the aprilia rs125, for starters the RS is a 2 stroke which puts out almost twice the power for displacement, secondly it is a race replica of a 10+ years championship winning bike. the rs125 will top out at 100mph... most skyjets will be lucky to see 70mph. even if the RS was in restricted form it would leave the skyjet for dead. whatever RS125 you were riding/racing with must have had a complete spactard of a rider on it.

you just cannot compare a cheap chinese rip off excuse of a so called "sports bike" to an extensively engineered, well designed and championship winning italian sportsbike that has proved itself in chamionship races time and time again.

the price difference says it all really... £900 for a brand new top of the range skyjet... £4k for a brand new aprilia RS125, they are that expensive for a reason. at £900 for a brand new 12 plate bike it sounds too good to be true.... thats because IT IS!! however if you were to spend that same £900 on a second hand RS125 or any other italian or japanese sportsbike, you would be rewarded massively not only with a well performing bike but also a reliable one.

SKYJETS FALL APART!!!!!

This is a fact, the build quality is absolutely atrocious and you can expect one bad winter to see you opening your wallet to replace nearly every item on the bike.

PLEASE NOTE, i am not slating it purely because i dont like it (which i dont, i hate it) but i have seen and heard to many horror stories of people spending their hard earned cash on one of these bikes just to be sorely dissapointed when it all goes wrong, so please, please, i cannot urge you enough, buy a well known japanese or italian bike.... they are famous for a reason!

i have a skyjet 125-23 it has topped out 70-75 mph, its a 10 plate an had it since September 2012 an just this month already feels like everything is breaking, don't get me wrong i only spent £900 for a first bike but regret getting a Chinese bike altogether, wouldn't recommend it would spend the extra £££ for the Honda/bikes made by piaggo like Aprillia/Gilera any bike NOT CHINESE, my mate down the road from mine has the Aprillia rs125 2002 i think the old model and when that had the power valve in it did 120 mph was with it till about 50 mph then it left me... each time even hits 100 mph without it now,,, couldn't ever compare it to the sj125, getting rid of it already big mistake getting it!

“Skyjet GY-6 ”

Written on: 25/11/2011

Great little bike, no problems value for money, cant understand bad reviews if you expect yamaha quality then buy a yamaha this is close to it with 3rd of the price tag, and i have researched and found out the skyjet factory make parts for yamaha!! thats why they are so close in style. i think problem is poor maintenance just check all bolts before first use any that keep coming lose use a bit of thread lock job done!! I have had mine and abused it going off road jumping off stuff and it's... (read more)

“Honestly the worst financial mistake of my life, i...”

Written on: 11/12/2009

Honestly the worst financial mistake of my life, i bought this bike as it looks the part and is far cheaper than other 125's i.e cbr 125. The build quality is shocking, its vibrates so much that screws and bolts rattle off, i have had to put new bolts on the exhaust 3 times. The electrics are pathetic and can fault when it rains, my rear light and reg light dont work and has cost me £50 for parts and will have to get the bike stripped down to gain access to wires...nightmare. Honestly just... (read more)

“I had 4 months of use out of this Skyjet SJ125-S bike....”

Written on: 23/03/2009

I had 4 months of use out of this Skyjet SJ125-S bike. I contacted the people who made the bike but never got a reply. In all it was a expensive bike to own . It cost me £700 deliverd + £300 on parts and labour I managed to get £350 when i sold it 4 months old . In all I recommend not buying a skyjet. It was a good for about 2 weeks then it started to fall apart. First to go was the chain when I was pulling out onto the A4 in wiltshire. I had the bike for 4 months and hears a list of...
