This dude just went way to hard on this bike TBH. If your buying a china bike you know it's not gonna be be the best shiz. And on the old head's who ride have a stick up there ass of about the brand's they rep. And let's be real here. if you aint riding a china bike you prob are loaded or older and maybe loaded. Can't even get a Navi for under 5.4k in Austin out the door. And it's that or buy used. And I've run into less issues with china bike's then I ever did with used one's. Just don't be dumb and buy something online then go and ride it with zero knowledge on how to inspect your gear/bike. If your young you will NEVER be able to finance a bike, So.... I learned how to tune my china bike's to how I like them.

A ninja 250 used are selling around 3K, the new model that was supposed to be released this year was set to approximately $4,920. I personally don’t regret my Venom as a starter bike.

I hit the back brakes a little too hard and skid but I think that allowed me to steer left and escaped into the middle lane. I locked eyes with the kid after I skid by him.

    Everything you've said in this video, I concur. I own a Honda Super Cub AND a CSC San Gabriel "250", which is a rebranded ZongShen just like this Venom bike. Honestly, if they made a 150cc version of a Honda Super Cub, I'd gladly take that on the highway over this deathtrap. The first night I got it back, the centerstand spring just fell off, and I didn't realize it until the next morning. All throughout, the mirrors kept rattling so bad, I couldn't see anything behind me, and at random, the gears get stuck and you end up stalling because you can't put it back down in first from a fully stopped position. The spedometer is indeed 10% than your actual speeds. Save your money and your time.

  • @thedom239
    @thedom239 Рік тому +17

    Is the tachometer set for a 2 stroke engine measuring the rpm as every power stroke for one revolution of the engine? A 4-stroke would have 2 revolutions of the crank and could be why the rpm is about half of what is claimed. The tacho yam put on is getting the signal from the ht lead.

      Cheaping out aint wrong, but know what you buy. Brands like CFMoto, GPX and Kove are rather cheap brands, from china, and have a good reputation. Given that GPX and Kove use Zongshen engines in some of their models (which I have plenty of experience with, they're really solid) there is nothing to worry about. But no name brands and small displacement? Usually a big no. When you see such a bike, the only good thing is usually the engine, because by the time you can properly review it without killing yourself, the bike either has been worked on or has broken.
