SSR Motorsports XF200/XP250 available

[culcune]

SSR's website shows MSRP for both their XF 200 and XF 250. For months, their site stated 'coming soon' so with prices shown, I assumethey are now available. Contact www.ssrmotorsports.com for info.

Thanks for posting the good information, Culcune! :D If you have time, please contact the vendor and see if the bikes actually arrived, or the ETA.

Here's the information for the XF200. It's selling for $2,600.

I'm glad to see Chinese bikes being imported to the United States. :) I'm also glad to see a new model, with a larger engine. However, I think both bikes are overpriced. ;) Whenever the price approaches $2,000, I think one is better off to look for a good deal on a slightly used, Japanese motorcycle. One can find a nice, Kawasaki KLX250S, with plenty of aftermarket goodies installed, for not much more than $3,000. ;)

These are MSRP. SSR seems to have a dealer network with decent discounts, so we will have to see when they start offering them on their sites. These bikes aren't necessarily overpriced, provided they can be sold thru dealers offering financing, like the Japanese bikes. $2600 MSRP puts the 200 right at Qlink territory. It will be a matter of time to see whether the Qingqi or the Pioneer is the better bike, although they are related in the way Chinese companies are related.

Oh, and another item of interest...when I spoke to SSR a few months ago, the tire/wheel combos can be mixed and matched. In other words, you could get the 250 with the beefy, off-road tires or motard ones, or the 200 either way, as well as color.

I guess that I jumped the gun. I called SSR and the sales guy told me they aren't here, yet. As well, they won't be available until after the Indianapolis show in a few weeks. :?
