The Titan 250 has two front disks because they don't know which is going to work.
😂
Lololol! That's great!
Facts….
😅
Just like a one hand clap.....😉🥴
Yammie should buy one of those grom clones just to see what kind of mischief he can get into!
Grom clone with dirt tires!
If you are smart you will buy the Lifan KP mini 150. The best one by a mile.
I recommend the Lifan KP Mini. Probably the best Grom clone from China. My 2006 LF 200 GY5 bought new is running fine in 2024 and has needed oil changes, valve adjustments, tires, and batteries. That is it . Nothing ever fell off, it has NEVER left me stranded. Lifan does in fact have a pretty successful racing team, and have for years.
Know a guy that ran a hawk 250 for close to 5 years doing farm work. Never did any work to it, never even changed the oil. Only reason he quit using it was the mice chewed through the wiring harness one winter and never bothered fixing it.
I had a 250cc dual sport from Amazon called the magician for about 1400$. I put about 3-5k miles on it.
The only issues I had were the speedometer stoped working and the stock carb runs lean. I replaced the carb with an aftermarket one. That thing ripped pretty good and I only sold it once I upgraded to a Honda rebel. All the 250cc China engines use the same basic design of the older Honda motorcycles. I dropped that thing a few times since it was my first bike but I’m glad I dropped that instead of my newer bikes. I sold it for 800$ a few months later but I think it was definitely worth it.
The X-PRO X25 has some similarities with the 1967 Honda S90 that introduced me to the sport of motorcycling. That bike was a blast. There was a sharp little dropoff in a gravel back road just back of where I lived. I used to hit it about 45 mph and get some decent air. I used to chase cows on it, and on wet grass full lock slides were easily doable, just like a dirt tracker. The most fun thing was chasing rabbits in the field behind the house at night. The rabbits would always get away. They'd lead me over a ground hog hole, and my front wheel would sink into the hole, and the engine would stall. Rabbits are smart little bastards - smarter than me anyway. Of course the Grom is just a slightly miniaturized version of the same machine
Yea, it resemblances the T-bone 1960s Honda small displacement motorcycles like my SS50, CL50, CL70, etc.
I think the logic here is that: you will find an authentic Honda bike to the X25 pro cheaper used. But it's going to be nearly 50 years old.
mine was a 1976 Scrambler, loved that thing.
I’ve had a Lifan X-Pect 200cc enduro for like 8 months now, over 7k miles on it and almost no issues whatsoever. I got lucky 😂
There’s a couple that rode 200ccChinese Suzuki clones across the African continent, he said after that trip he kept riding his for another couple years as his daily.
Lifan's engine is industructible. Simple clone Honda built to last. Don't know about other parts though.
I own the Xpro X25. It requires a bit of maintenance here and there, especially with the suspension, but the motor is solid as a rock. That thing is an absolute blast, especially when going 30mph feels like going 60 haha.
Papa Yam had me laughing hard with a couple of the video snips. His conclusion I agree with. I found a barn find 2015 Suzuki S40 with 525 miles and towed it off for $1500. A causal week of draining the tank, carb cleaning, tire inspecting and general cleaning and fluids change and I have a wonderful running bike that is reliable and likely worth more than I paid for it. But I am not selling it because it is the perfect hopper bike. Sounds perfect with a HD stock Dyna muffler on it. If a zombie hoard was headed to my neighborhood, I would much rather take the trusty Suzuki than any Chinese Amazon bike and I paid a lot less with a little elbow effort. A used UJM is definitely the way to go!
Careful Yammie hates the S40 even more than my beloved Sportster. Lol
I bought the $999 one this spring. Swapped disk in disk brakes, beefy swing arm, bigger forks, and bigger wheels. Altogether about 2k including shipping and 'upgrades'. It doesn't feel like a death trap anymore but I don't take it on the road
X- pro Titan 250, 65 year old have owned all the Japanese brands motocross to superbike, bought it for a play bike to leave at cabin and am very impressed with it overall, for the money
I have to admit, I’ve been eyeing China bikes because of the exact people they market to - young people who haven’t ridden before.
Brother bought a hawk and had good experience with it. Only 600 miles so far but no issues and he really likes it. I got the Lifan KPX250. Hasn’t arrived yet.
Curious if you have heard of the KPX 250?
I will say, there are a few states where smaller street bikes like Groms cannot be taken on the Interstate, so that's legit...ish.
As a new ish rider I bought the Hawk 250 ( @8:07 ). I had to replace and check almost everything on the bike (had a few things fall off XD) and I had to learn a lot to fix it, took about a month to get it ready to ride without worrying about the bike falling apart. But in the end I've put $2k into it and driven it 2k miles driving almost every day (on light gravel or dirt trails and non highway roads) and its served me well for what I bought it for.
Well. Now they have electric scooters. Guess what. Its the only form of transportation that works out of the box. From China. Without issues. I bought one for 2k. Goes 60mph. Has 4 modes. Economy gets you 79 miles on a full charge.
Just check your state laws for ridability on streets. Stable and comfortable. I had no problems with setup. It has offroad suspension too.
Instructions warn not to ride in water/rain. I took a look at their cheap electronic display. Not water resistant at all. It was the only negative I could find. Handle bar and brake lights/turn signal lights were the only thing that needed to be installed. Not even a problem. They also supplied the tools. I checked everything else out for tightness. Headlights needed to be adjusted and tightened down. It came with four small projectable headlights. Almost everything was predone. Base of scooter has led lights in it. Lights up with a remote. Different color settings and patterns.
Most e-scooters are sketchy past 50mph. But they added extra material to stabilize the handle bar. No wigglyness. Nothing felt unsafe. Really weird for China to make something that works. I bought a helmet thinking. Its going to go smooth for about an hour. Then its going to start getting loose. Nope. I had to ride it around all week to get the battery test finished. It made it every mile it stated it could on economy. I thought for sure they lied about the battery. Nope. Crazy that they made something right. We are in trouble econimically. If they bring electric cars here. They are trying to in mexico.
The Hawk 250 is an excellent bike. I put about 120 miles a day on mine. Bought last year and have almost 10000 miles on it. My only complaint is the chain tension is always needing adjustment.
Bro, simply upgrade your low end (plain, non o-ring) stock chain to a high quality O-ring chain (match link size & link count to existing) and it won't need as much fiddling adjustment.
I ride a 2008 Suzuki V-Strom 650 daily, recently acquired (new, to me) it has the original DID brand O-ring chain at 17,000 miles.
These are internally lubricated, and only require light external lubing (per Fortnine review, plain gear oil) to stop rust, once a month or 1,000 miles.
V-Strom owners report chain life of 35,000 to 50,000 miles.
And few readjustments required.
I'm sure your Hawk 250 China bike is well sorted, once you fix the minor compromises a budget bike must have inevitably.
Also, along with O-ring chain higher quality sprocket set BUT prob only if you note quickly wearing out or desire to change gearing for dirt or highway reasons.
One reason I call your China "Hawk" 250 well sorted is because once upon a time, I enjoyed a 1980 Honda XL250 Enduro, and sure as Jesus Christ is King & LORD, your much newer Hawk 250 was cloned off my beloved & bulletproof Honda 250.
An enduring design never goes out of style !
Good advice Yammie. Buy an old Japanese bike, tons of after market parts and 10x the quality of the amazon bikes. Only Chinese bike that I have ridden that I like more then the Japanese bike it was copying was the KP Mini 150cc. I'm over 200lbs and struggle to hit 55mph on a Grom while the KP Mini 150 has almost the same dimensions and weight and it actually has a 150cc engine "unlike alot of so called 150's" which has about 2.5 more horsepower then the Grom. Still wouldn't recommend the KP though because of quality concerns.
the issue with the old jap bikes is how many are often utterly *ruined* at these price points, least around here. And/or not having a title, that's also super common. Least you get an MSO/MCO document when you buy one and can get a title. If you're in a state that lets you bond titles with just a bill of sale, though...
And the Lifan bikes are pretty well put-together, but even those require a bit of research to know what you're getting into.
i had the 2017 250 hawk enduro and if u change out the carb and change the jets it rips. Stock it is super bogged down and does not run smooth. I paid $500 on FB marketplace put $100 in parts and it was a great bike I would reccomend it if you are able to change the carb out. Theres a ton of info on the forum!
Can here for the laughs and got mooned by a cowboy. Much love Yam. You never disappoint. 🏍☁
You couldn’t be more right! Get a used bike or a barn find. Most of these bikes need to work from not abuse but not enough use. Right now, I’m trying to buy a minibike with a 5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine. I’m pretty sure if I work on the carbs or carb I can get it running again and have it rocksolid reliable. Just bought a salvaged ninja Z400 Under 5000 miles for three grand. I’m having a great time with it
My xpro hawk is still running kinda strong after 1500 miles
But 1,500 miles is nothing... I do that commuting to work in 3 months.
@JosephStanek-jj3uo considering he said it would fall apart after like 100 miles, it is something.
I bought a hawk 250 in 2021, it's got 3500 miles and I've replaced the shift lever, brake and clutch levers, headlamp, foot pegs, handlebar, drive chain and upgraded sprockets. It'll do 65 no prob, decent bike for the price. $2500 brand new, shipped and assembled from txpowersports
In the beginning I seriously considered buying the X-Pro Hawk, but then I realized I don't have a garage and tools. Then, I started looking at the used market and after 2 months of looking I bought a Suzuki GZ250 for $1625.
LMAO my first bike i ever owned was a hawk 250 lmao, literally just road it around my neighborhood, which were dirt roads, had to fix a gas line on it cause it had a tiny leak,, but i also had a car so it was fun to just ride around and practice, it was actually real easy to learn to ride, cause i had the balancing already down because of bicycles and had previous standard car experience, but love the video yammie :D
I would like to see some unbiased videos on the Chinese bikes.
UA-cam channel "Motocheese"
😂😂 glad to see you’re funny self! I think people buy those to remind themselves of the 70s minibikes we used to put around on! i’ve done 72 miles an hour on a mountain bike back in 1987. It’s a rush!
if you want a chinese bike, i'd say go to CSC and order one. Not the greatest bikes, but they got support in the US and their customer service is really good. They come from the second most popular motorcycle brand in china, and their American importer stocks a ton of parts so you don't have to order anything from china. Pretty sure all the parts get shipped outta California
Yammer I can see you inspiring a new gen of Chinese motorcycle enthusiasts gaining 5 mil subs 😮
I bought a Hawk 150 dirt bike and it’s been super solid with basic maintenance. I low sided it once and bent the shifter and handlebars but bent them back into place and it was good to go. It’s a decent unit for trail riding.
The Enfield look-a-like would be cool, throwing away the money and not caring. I have a Chinese Honda Cub clone and it isn't bad. It's not great, but I like fooling around on it around town and I have less than 250 bucks "invested" in the whole deal, including purchase.
I just wanna say my xpro x25 did go 55mph gps verified out of the box. Took a while to get there but it did. I weigh 130lbs so that probably helps.
I got a venom motorsports 250cc sportster runs fine its engine and frame are just fine only issues are the lights on it that i had to replace i expected that and the speedometer broke partly my fault for riding really fricken hard off road and me going a little to wild but other then that it runs fine gonna fix the speedometer and tachometer and fix the turn signal wiring issues then start street riding it i put dual sport tires on it and runs great offroad for what its needed for feels solid af the bolts rust a little to easily but thats nothing oil cant take care of
This video is very true. I'm a high-schooler and I was really looking into the hawk 250 bike. I'd worked on tons of motorcycles but never actually had one to call my own. I was going to buy the hawk, but I just looked around on Craigslist and found a nice 80s honda TLR200 that was running and riding with low mile for 1300 bucks. That's cheaper than the cheapest of the Chinese bikes.
Trust me, it's better to buy a new Chinese bike than to buy an acient used bike. I've owned the hawk for two years and it's a bit underpowered, but it has never let me down.
If you want something cheap but want a dual sport, you can beat it. Either that or go get the Honda XR150L
And actually the cheapest Chinese bikes you can get for $599. That's what I paid for my Bali 150, and it has also never let me down.
Laughing my silly ass off from beginning to end...you are tooo funny!
I had a Tao Tao TBR7 250 for 2 years and sold it for what I paid for it. Built it out of the crate and never had a problem with it.
I have a yamaha XT250 that's has had one issue after another. I have seriously considered getting rid of it for a hawk. There's no way it could be worse lol.
I own csc TT-250 and it's pretty good, I would go that route over a hawk. The TT250 has a balance engine, nicer tank and more.
You almost got me on the "hawk two ... fifty". It's a year old video, never mind.
I had a grom clone I got for 800 with 90 miles on it and within a month the motor mount snapped and it broke down once which I discovered was a pinches vacuum line when they put the fairings on, I was a dumb beginner but I got all my money back and some use out of it. I've owned a dozen real bikes since then and I love the 400s. I'm a skinny tall dude so 400 is perfect to me
I'm eagerly awaiting Comrade Noob's take on the new Cleveland Cyclewerk's Hauler, with sidecar. Open, open your heart to small displacement Yamz
I bought a 125cc used Chinese dirt bike for $200 about 2 years ago. It wasn't much used and I had a blast with it! Of course I fiddled with it a lot and it was overall junk... but I beat the shite out of it on trail for a weekend. Good fun!
Bought a hawk 250 for my first dirt bike. No intention of road riding. Did fantastic as just that. I beat the hell out of it, and hardly ever changed the oil. It did great, but I'd never take it on the road. The speedo broke on the first ride, the brake light wire shorted and melted. But like I said, I only used it as a dirt bike.
I have been on the hawk 250 for a year now and got 6700 miles on it. I just started watching the video but it's been a good bike so far but definitely has its own issues
I have an x-pro 250 I use as an enduro, am very satisfied with it so far
I have one of Ice Bear's finest trikes, all 150ccs of it, what you say about being scared beyond needing a new pair of depends is spot on, at 40mph that thing has more shimmies and shakes than my high school GF did. That said, there's a strange appreciation and smile inspiring thing about surviving each trip to the supermarket. I had the same warning about being street legal, but keep off roadway..what they mean is if the speed limit is 45mph chances of getting rammed in the rear is pretty good. Stay on secondary and neighborhood streets and you'll rule the roads.
hey yam are you going to make a vid on the latest updated 600, the zx6r?
Love my china scooter yea I replaced few parts over time but every part is 10$ so it's been nice to cruise around the neighborhood
That last one is pocket change cheaper than a Meteor 350, which is actually a charming tiny cruiser
seing the Adv squid in the intro made me feel represented 🦑🦑🦑🏍🏔
the positive that comes from Chinese bikes is that all the parts are dirt cheap and interchangeable. I have owned and loved many Hondas, Suzukis and Yamahas but man do I hate when I blow a top end or screw up a gear because it costs money and time. If I blow up my Chinese dirt bike I can just buy a brand new engine for $300 and have it swapped in under an hour. or buy a big bore kit for like $60. Everyone should definitely stick to the major known manufacturers when choosing their daily but as a secondary beater bike lifans aren't a bad choice.
As KTM, Kawasaki and other motorcycle brands updated their current motorcycles, is there any chance for yamaha to update their current motorcycles??
They just updated the T7 and there's a new variant of their 450 dirt bike and Tracer 9
i bought the xpro Templar X. has 6 speed 250cc and adjustable front and rear suspension and LED display. I also bought a PWK race carb and installed it myself. I like it better than my Talaria sting R because of the bigger tires and suspension.. and half the price. also muffler backfires when engine braking has it sounding like a tuned toyota supra from assetto corsa .
lol, I ride a cheap chinese bike with slippery tires and love working on it because its stupid fun
Well i think it is clear what the answer to that question is
So much crap being sold nowadays, not only bikes but almost everything! The hard part is some cheap products and small companies are actually producing some quality products and some big name brands are selling cheaply produced crap riding on the reputation of their name as they outsource manufacturing to maximise profits. Really you have to take time to do your research and then cross reference that with as many sources as possible before you can comfortably make a reliable purchase
you should review a cf moto cruiser bike they look good but i want to know if there as good as their looks
Tbh, in general, most low quality stuff now are good enough to last until you want a new one.
I bought a new 175cc Chinese dual sport a few years ago that was basically a copy of the old early 80s Honda XL125/ XL185, it did need an Immediate oil change and I did need to torque every nut and bolt, and for good measure I changed as many of the nuts and bolts for quality stainless steel ones as I could. It was OK, it never let me down and was good enough fun. I have bought plenty of new Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki bikes before and after, bust despite being cheap and fun, it was worth nothing a year later when I went to sell it despite still looking and riding like new, so in the end the cost of ownership exceeded that of a Honda. In the end the best beginners bike is always a Honda.
the KPM was probably the only amazon bike that id consider buying.
Yammy show some mercy to the Chinese Bike guys Brother!
I think the main appeal here is that some are of the idea that brand new is always better than used, initial quality irrespective.
And you're right you said towards the end it's young inexperienced men who I think have lacked fathers in their lives -( this may may seem weird to say) but it's men who teach their sons to work on things, to maintain things and assess all things mechanical, including fundamentally, cars and motorcycles.
So these young men typically lack the skill set to analyze a used Japanese bike on Craigslist or marketplace and thus feel more confident buying a brand new China bike off Amazon, without really analyzing the economic wisdom or foolishness behind such a decision.
And while those of us riding high quality Japanese bikes (myself a Suzuki V-Strom 650) are tempted to snicker at or tease the China bike buyer, we'd probably do better to mentor them to learning about the world of motorcycles and vehicles in general.
When you think of it too, there may be a greater learning experience and less mayhem on the roadway, with young man learning to wrench on China bikes instead of having loan payments on superfast Japanese bikes that basically get them killed and threaten roadway safety, and teach them less about wrenching on bikes.
All those cheap Chinese grom clones are everywhere in CA. They’re even being marketed on Craigslist and sold out of semi sketchy warehouse retail locations in parts of town won’t want to stop unless you had a good reason. Like to buying one of those cheap groom clones or an even cheaper knock off scooters, dirk bike or small to medium atv. If they are plate-able and many are they just can’t go one the freeway which adds additional legal definition to the hwy. Hwy can be a freeway or not if you know what I mean. Freeways can have several lanes going in each direction, many times separated by barriers and have dedicated on and off freeway entrances and exits. 150cc is the legal min to be freeway legal in CA.
My first bike was the hawk 250. Didnt feel comfortable going to a strangers house and possibly dropping their bike lol
Try some of the Lifan bikes. I think they are better quality. I bought a Lifan LF200 GY 5. a 200cc dualsport from a local dealer back in 2007. Still riding it in 2023 with very few issues. Grom Clone is KP Mini 150. They have a 200cc known as the XPect 200 and a few others. Wish you would give one a try. Thankyou.
I had a Chinese honda clone pit bike and it always started first try even after sitting for 2 or 3 years
Tried the 125 cafe racer. Definitely not a great starter, but it does have an interesting element of fun to it. Try doing a review of a Lifan Lycan 250. It’s definitely more of an interesting Chinese bike and I’d be curious about what the review would be on it.
the crazy thing is I see them listed used for almost the price of new. Sometimes even higher priced than new.
I started on the Nonda Grom from Amazon i wanted to see if i liked motorcycles. Turned out i liked em had my fun and i got a Honda Monkey.
I Have a Lifan KP 200. Water cooled, efi, old Honda design counter balanced. Easy to do all maintenance, including valves, designed to be maintained by non mechanics.
Perfect for city, get 100+ miles per gallon. If you rap it out all the time. 90-80 mpg.
Installed an aftermarket full exhaust, changed handlebar, changed mirrors to bar ends.
Rev it out all day, bullet proof.
Highway, 72 mph is usually max. Draft behind cars, 75 mph. Uphills heavy winds, 55-65. Not a speed demon for highway.
Great handling, great brakes, suspension is ok also. Though no preload adjustment, not so good with an adult driver & passenger. Rider alone, suspension is fine.
Been riding 54 years. Many brands and sizes over the years. Great for quick run to stores. Need to run to Auto parts store, harbor freight, Lowe's. Perfect for city runs. Great handling for traffic.
Rear seat bag & tank bag for carrying stuff. Rather have this than a scooter.
I have a Ducati ST2 for longer distance riding. Faster than needed for town.
The cool thing about the Lifan KP 200 is that. To get best acceleration & speed. You work the throttle, gears & clutch properly to get the best out of it.
Faster bikes you simply cannot rev them out without losing your license or getting killed.
Fun raping it out getting cool sounds from the open exhaust!
I bought a Mangosteen M2 electric scooter on Amazon being sold by Eahora. It sorta looks like a Harley. It's been fairly pleasant to ride. I got stranded at one point because a fuse blew and I just ordered new front shocks because the one started leaking recently. I put just over 3,000 miles on it. Quality isn't on par with Japanese bikes but this things only goes about 40-45 MPH. It definitely lacks the polish of a Japanese bike but, it's been mostly reliable, people ask me about the bike all the time, and I've learned a few things maintaining my bike. I would recommend my scooter to anyone but, I do agree that a Japanese bike for not too much more would be a more solid machine. However, my e-scooter is just kinda a cool fun ride.
Ive been looking at the m1p pro and the m1ps
All facts!
‘Boost and Bad Habits’ reviews the Condor 150 with a 500lb rider, their latest video even shows that guy with a passenger, like 670lbs on it.
5k isnt couch coushin money this is most certaintly a rich persons POV, which is probably why people turn to the $1,000 alternative that china ships out
The thumbnail is literally my first motorcycle 😂😂😂 boom BD125.
I only rode it for a year then got a Yamaha XJ550.
Well if you have any you don't like or want id really love anything that goes 60mph at least hahaha 😅 I'd be able to work and buy a proper one and par it forward 😁
Thank you for the content!
None of your viewers knew the spelling of brakes until you pointed it out🤣
Dongfang is a reputed truck manufacturer in China, period. It is built to survive rugged terrain. Don't know about motorcycle though.
Meh, about right. I've got a 140cc chinese pitbike/dirt bike. If ya know what you're doing, the damn things are a blast. I beat the hell out of it, and don't give a s*it about it. Repaired almost everything on it at this point, and it's still a running like a tank.
I had a vader 125 to learn on and it got the job done, after 200 miles sold it and got a ninja 250
Bought A Kp mini 150 off of Amazon. Spent about 3000…sold it for 1500 and have regretted it ever since
, have way saved to a 600 now. Would be there if I hadn’t done that.
Had a tgb Munster 90 cc road legal Mini Bike ,made in china for 10 yrs of daily thrashing for laughs , it actually lasted quite well ,, they didn't grease the wheel bearings which failed , consider it lived abused in a carpark by the beach with only maintenance odd oils , whatever came to hand, chain oil and lots of Super glue ,it was a lot of fun and laughs ,
I bought the hawk 250 dlx, and it's the worst thing ever! Just terrible, I actually had to learn how to do stuff 😫 Kidding, I've got 1,400 miles on it, using it mostly as a commuter to and from work rn. I've taken it on some pretty rough trails, and it was a lot better than I was expecting. Still wouldn't recommend taking it off any big jumps. I've been saving a bundle on gas and having fun. You just have to be willing to learn how to tinker a bit. You basically have to ask yourself. Do I want a brand new bike with a few know issues or a used bike that's practically a mystery box of minor to major issues?
Btw you can buy kayo in the USA now good bike cheap and honestly some of them work very well off-road
Got a lifan kp mini 150cc for the year and got 3.5k miles on it and just sold it for 1.3k and im trying to hop on a 250, any ideas on whats cheap guys?
Got 2 Chinese bikes I love ‘‘em but just got roasted for nothing 😂
Bought my first Chinese bike in 2007, a Lifan 200cc enduro. Rode it for 10+ years and over 50,000 miles, it never let me down. Now I have Vitacci Clash 200 EFI scooter with the engine made by Lifan. Bought it from Amazon for $1375 +400 shipping. Only 3500 miles so far and no issues.
I'm 70 years old and have been riding motorcycles since I was a kid, all sizes from scooters to Goldwings. My advice is do not buy a Chinese bike unless you're willing and able to do all maintenance and repairs yourself. With a little mechanical know how Chinese bikes can be a great value. Nothing better if you like to tinker because parts are super cheap and easy to get.
7:15, in your ad for ASV: "If you BRAKE it, they replace it". Oops lol.
tbh the titan looks pretty cool, if you ignore the lack of power
I bought the hawk as my first bike and only transportation and it was constant work i bought an mt07 two weeks later, if the hawk was just for fun or I knew how to work on bikes more it could have been decent but it was so slow it almost felt dangerous
Yammie, you should buy one of all these cheap china bikes. Then you can make the ultimate Amazon bike comparison. Gather your friends and have them draw their bikes and have a multiclass race. There is content for a month with these.
They are all pretty much the same. He would be best off to classify and purchase them by engine size or somthing that actually defferenciats them
The "Color Sporty Black" edition?! Oh shit!
Most of these chinese bikes are here in South Africa, the brand is called Bigboy
there is nothing wrong with the titan 250cc efi have had it 8 months now starts up every time nice and smooth only one loose screw on the throttle housing speedo is 2mph off not bad,beautiful blue color it has a 1 year warranty so if something breaks its covered im sure there is a few bad ones but so is every Japan bike maker as well,no its not a power house but i have had it to 80mph and i am 5'-9 215lbs and for a 223cc engine thats not bad runs true i have no idea why people put down this bike its great,i have had Yamaha bikes that were worse.
My friend owns one and he said a good deal! Mr Yammie Noob😊
Hi yammie is cb400sf and cb600f hornet is best begginer bike?
What warranty and what parts supplier. Lesson learned on an Amazon electric scooter. The company web site lists 4 replacement parts. Buying one of each of these costs more than the original price.
The 2023 XR150L is a street legal Honda that goes for $2,971 brand new. Is it worth it?
Wel soon in my country drivers license with a car can drive soon a 125cc 15pk bikes.
Like to see some off those in your video
You can use after pay to buy them too lol I definitely would have bought 1 if I knew about them 8 years ago xD
What is not being said is that the new entry level bikes are not Japanese, they're made in Thailand, Vietnam, Phillipines. Take your pick I know some Chinese bikes in box that have lasted with adult ownership. YMMV...
The pricing isn't even appealing on these after you factor in shipping. A brand new CFMoto Papio is like 3K without any sort of discounts, and that last cruiser bike is literally more expensive than some of the 350 Royal Enfields. And of course thats to say nothing of the used market. I imagine buying one of these bikes just falls under the "stupid tax" category.
There are some ok Chinese bikes. Sold under lexmoto and UM brands! Lexmoto is UK company getting bikes made for them in China and quality control is decent. And bikes are fine and cheap
If people are afraid of buying a used by they should just by honda's new XR150L. By the way, I've bought three old dirtbikes for under $1000 and I still have all of them. Thank you Honda and Yamaha.
Just buy something used and reliable, Many people buy motorcycles and barely touch them and sell them for next to nothing just to regain garage space. 4K can net you a Kawasaki Vulcan with low mileage, and saw an all geared up 2006 BMW bike with 25K miles selling for 4K the other day.
