 Yes, when I called my insurance company to file a claim on my Roketa MC-13-250, I was a little stunned that the Honda Dealership and the Insurance Adjuster knew very little about my scooter. The Roketa MC-13-250 is a direct copy of the Honda Foresight( seen in this pic). The BODY parts on both scooters are interchangable. Length is the same. The Honda Foresight was only sold in Asia and Europe. The Roketa MC 13 250 is not a copy of the Honda Foresight engine. It is a copy of the Honda Helix CN 250 engine. My scooter has Honda parts on it. Honda here in America, knows all about the Honda Helix. Attachments:

I see similarities, they do not look identical to me though.

The GY6 is an older Honda patten for an engine so its sinilar but Chinese scooters are not Honda quality as I only had two Honda scooters in the past as to why I was so unhappy with my first China scooter a TaoTao ATMa 50 which was a lemon .
Be glad you have a China scooter since parts are cheap and easy to get as genuine Honda parts cost way more
Honda has a model similar to my Echarm but the Honda has rear drum where mine is disc brakes and thousands of dollars less

That is true.. Parts would cost way more, if a genuine part like Honda. My scooter had major front end damage recently. My insurance company said it came to $559 total damage. That is alot of damage. I wrote down the Roketa site so the adjuster could see what pieces cost to order. A mirror new $25 each, helmet board $20, Windshield $40, reflector $6, ect.. It still adds up..lol... Honda said they would work on it for $75 per hr x 4 hrs= $300... To order a new engine CN250 cost $1800 from Roketa. To order part by part for the MC-13-250 will cost a person over $12,000... Definately don't want to do this... |

The MC-13-250 scooter is a copy of the Honda Foresight 250.. China did alot of copying. Now I agree that some body parts on the Foresight are different- the headlight is- but most parts will fit on either scooter still. This is what is meant by copy. If the Roketa MC-13-250 was an original, well no parts would fit on another scooter.. Attachments:
