Too bad, that sux. If anything the Zongshen version of the CT is more advanced than the original Honda, with 12V electrics and EFI

China does a lot of business in Oz, right? You may yet see them there. See what you can find out. Does Zongshen have any presence in Australia?

True, but higher torque values should help with hills. So overall, 65 mph should be a good cruising speed for them.

I'm sure those were left off for economy reasons, to keep the price down. Along with the rack-mounted laser cannon.

Claimed mpg is probably at about 40 mph in 4th on pavement, to keep rpm and wind resistance down.
That would be me.
Curb weight listed as 225 lbs, so not all that light. But still.

On the CSC site they are claiming 125 mpg. It's a 125cc FI, so plausible under good conditions.

Notes:
1. No provision for passenger (fine with me actually); no rear footpegs.
2. Swingarm looks a bit thin, esp. for offroad stuff. Maybe not, but worth looking into.
3. Second video, 6 seconds...

So about $2800. The Honda Trail MSRP is $4099, plus maybe $700 for other fees, so $4800. That $2K difference is pretty major, and to me is worth any difference in quality. Upgrading a few parts will...

Drill holes in the top of the airbox, for minimal water penetration. I would go with a bunch of 3/16" holes. You will probably have to re-jet the carb a little.

I see that you are not all that familiar with Harley riders.....:lmao:

OK, not saying they are all that way, but there is that subgroup in their population. I suspect it's a pretty big subgroup.
