Hi All,
I just found this site/forum a couple of weeks ago and joined. Looks like a great resource.
I've been riding for years starting with a CT-70H I had in the early 70s, (yes, I wish I still had it). I am considering buying a CT70 125 clone to ride around the neighborhood. From what I see the only CT70 clone available in the US today is the IceBear 125 as sold by Cajun Maddogs or Belmonte cycle. From a couple of recent youtube videos the owners seem to be satisfied with these bikes. I would definitely prefer the hand clutch version, but it doesn't seem available.
My big question is getting one of these clones titled and insured. I live in Illinois, and the DMV/SOS is not too user friendly. It's my understanding that the clones come with an MSO or MCO, and I am wondering if any of you have experience with getting these titled in Illinois. The last thing I want to do is to buy the bike and not be able to ride it on the street.
Please advise. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
