Welcome!

I've dealt with both vendors, although I've never bought a bike from PR, only parts. The bike that PR had in the beginning was known as a Hummer. It had steel wheels (unlike aluminum Gio wheels), but they were 21" / 19", vs. Gio with a 19" / 16" combo. The Hummer had a much larger tank ( I believe that is still the case). Gio now sells a large wheel version of their original bike.

Typically, most guys that bought a Gio modified the airbox to accept a Uni pod filter, but that was about it. The exhaust, while loud, certainly doesn't need much improvement in flow. The only thing I can think of that I would do right away would be to toss out the cheesy kill switch and replace it with a typical Jap bike push button.

My guess is that a Gio will cost less because they can be purchased at auction. I haven't seen the PR offering in some time, so I'm not sure what they're like today. I'd feel good about the parts availability from Gio, since their site is becoming well developed.

A buddy of mine bought the XTM250 from PR and said it was a solid bike no problems thus far....

I agree with Weldangrind that parts are more accessible with GIO but you will pay through the nose for shipping if you live past Alberta...and that since they are importing from X-Motos it may be a better product!

I would do your research and read past posts of problems people had with there bikes and buy the usual parts like Cables,brake pads,ect and upgrade your fuel line,air filter,CDI ect...

This is a great site for info...

I am sure this is just a APOLLO ORION bike,. I was selling the OROIN from China,, the last 2 years.. and they were the same as the KONKER.. the 250 cc is a good bike,. my partner has a couple of the water cooled ones left for sale.. I just have a large 250 cc water cooled one left for sale... very nice..
