A damn good bike

After 1,000 miles of breaking-in, I like this bike a lot. A broad Harley-like saddle makes this the most comfortable 250 I've yet seen. (The passenger seat is way too narrow, though. Shifting is clear and positive. Running boards for your feet are nice, too. Turn signals self-extinguish after 30 ...seconds... a nice touch. The hard bags hold more than I expected. It's still getting loosened up but I can cruise 60 MPH at about half throttle. I made a bracket to mount a top-case, which they should offer from the company because, make no mistke about it, this is a legitimate cruiser. Most of the world considers a 250 a big bike. I'm with them. Read Full Review

My Qlink

Ok so I bought this tour 250 brane new the price was right for a bike to just have fun with. I like the look I like the feel its smooth. My only complaint is the oil leaks both my boyfreind and I have issues with big oil leaks we both have had our bikes in the shop for new gaskets. Thats another i...ssue everything they do comes from the factory so your turn around time is nothing less then a week waiting to be repaired. As far as performance I have no issue getting it out there but my boyfriend is heaver then me and his does not get out there as fast as mine. Read Full Review

Great bike for the Money

This motorcycle is an outstanding value if you use it as a 250 is intended to be used.The Tour 250,name notwithstanding,is geared for city driving, which means it has good acceleration off the line at the expense of top end or high speed performance. This bike is not designed for "Long Trips&qu...ot;, no 250 is. What the Chinese designed this bike for is urban commuting and this task it does very well indeed. The speed "comfort zone" for this motorcycle is around 45-50mph.Anything past this and you start to get the inevitable v-twin vibration.You can do 60/65 in short bursts but I would not keep this up very long. For a bike at this price point it has many creature comforts and features only seen on more expensive cycles such as self-canceling turn signals. However, it does have some "quirks".For example, as of yet an unknown to me reason the Chinese, instead of using both exhaust pipes have routed the exhaust from both cylinders to the lower pipe and left the upper pipe as a "dummy" pipe. I dont know why they have chosen to do this and you really cant tell unless you look underneath the bike but it is a little weird. However, it sounds just like any normal 250 would and has a quite pleasing note. And I might at at the 250 displacement level there would be little if any noticeable performance loss by having the exhaust this way.This bike likes a slightly loose chain so dont overtighten. The gearbox clangs like pots and pans but so do a lot of other bike brands out there. The functionality of the gearbox however is flawless as is the clutch. As with any air-cooled v-twin, you will be tightening bolts and I suggest locktite in critical areas such as axles, sprockets etc. To wrap this up the Q-Link Tour 250 is an outstanding bike if you use it for what it is designed to do which is "City Driving". If you plan on taking long trips especially on Highways with a speed limit of over 50/55mph you would be better served buying a used Japanese model with higher displacement. Read Full Review
