Csc gs250

[Vx21rsjohn]

Came across this on YouTube and Revzilla is currently testing it for reliability. I like cafe racers, but I'm sure some modification could be done to make it look better. I figured I would share it. https://www.cscmotorcycles.com/default.asp?page=xInventoryDetail&id=5526031&p=1&vc=standard&s=Year&d=D&fr=xAllInventory

Kinda along the lines of the TT250 motor is the same and just a basic bike but cool.
In China they have a totally different motor and called "week 8"

I'm really thinking about one of these, actually. $2400 delivered. Sometimes they have free shipping deals too. I like the mocha one... it may end up being a tax return purchase :)

Hrrrrmmmmm..... now suddenly I find the SSR 250 is sold at a dealership local to me. It's more expensive, but it's a LOT cooler looking than the SG250. Especially in white with the red tank. What to do, what to do...

Oh come one man !!! if you are going to discuss "looks" and "coolness"
ya gotta include a photo or link to website etc. Now how am I supposed
to know how to look at a SSR250?

I have a rare want/need perhaps but I'd like a retro looking cafe racer
that was comfortable to ride and have the Scrambler treatment which
I define as having high mufflers that dont break off when going over
stumps and a bottom engine bash plate protector.... possibly also
having slightly wider handlebars than strict racers......
for minimal off road "touring" as I call it ... VERY similar to the
SCRAMBLERS of the 1970s. The original Dual Sports I think.

I am a little concerned about the motor being a V-Twin in that it is first I
have ever heard of coming out of China and I would want to know if this is
the first for some company and new buyers are guinea pigs for testing.
Also, in this range of relatively small displacement of 250cc, I dont know
if the V-twin would be harder to work on or in any way less reliable etc.
Can we find the actual mfgr of the engine ? Apparently ( to me)
the V-twin engine explains the significant upcharge more than a $ thousand
bucks compared to single cylinder model. Clearly there are many more
parts and components but if the performance in some way does not increase
I would not want to pay the extra money. This price range is not the absolute
bottom of the barrel so it could be possible that the single cylinder bike has a
counter balancer and that would likely make it vibrate less than the V-twin.

Anyone know for sure if there is a counter balancer in this single cyl engine of the SG250?
I know the 250cc single cyl engine built by LIFAN "does" have a counter balancer.

All very cool bikes. I'm an hour away from CSC and would love to see their bikes in person soon. The SSR Cafe racers look cool but I would rather have the bobber version of my SSR Xf250 dual sport, the Snake eyes. It uses a tried and true single cylinder Suzuki design from the Suzuki Tu250x and makes the same hp as the twins. Not only is the Snake eyes simple but it has a lower MSRP and new 2016's are going for $1,999 in some areas. This dealer in Vegas posted some really nice photos of a 2016 they have, although it's going for $2,995.

The Chinese have been making this V-Twin for a long time, it is a copy of the Yamaha 250 V-Twin in the Route 66 / V-Star 250.
There have been several China cruisers offered with this engine.

And a V-Twin 250 will have more HP and do much better on the highway than a 250 single, but does add weight....I'd love on of the SSR250's, but not in my budget right now......:ohno:

I've owned a Yamaha 250 V-Twin Route 66. Sweat little bike.
