A solid bike

I've been riding my TOUR for over 2,000 milkes through the winter. Seat comfort and riding position were the best I could find in the 250cc range. I get 75 mpg. Shifting is positive and the bike cruises happily 60-65 MPH at hald throttle. 80 is tops but the bike vibrates a high tingle and it's o...bviously happier at 65 - and so am I. The TOUR is well-appointed with extra lights, foot boards, hard bags, self-extinguishing turn signals and a solid windshield. I made a bracket and added a top-case (which should be a factory option on something called a "Tour".)
I got this bike for trips as well as commuting. I've already done 2,500 miles through the Rockies and Cascades on a 250 and plan to do more with this bike. It's truly impressive. Read Full Review

UPDATE after 6,000 miles

After a full year of continuous riding (winter too) I've got 6,000 miles on the 250 TOUR with no troubles. Early on, the speedo needed replacing. QLink had the part; it was on warranty, and that was that. No other issues. Starts instantly, good suspension, a comfortable ride, acceptable speed. ...Loafing around town, the RPMs stay pretty relaxed... so it feels odd at first when in 5th gear, you start to unwind the engine on the highway. Vibes smoothe out between 60 -65 and you have reserve speed for passing. I know some Chinese products are bought cheap and made cheap, but when they want to do it right, they certainly know how to. Truth to tell, most riders just using their bikes to commute and run around locally can do it on 150ccs. The big road-hogs, like the Humvee, are price and power over-kill. This is a good ride, and all I've needed. Read Full Review
