What Should I Make Sure A China Bike Dealer Does 2 Bike?

chocula · 07-07-2007, 07:49 PM

It looks like I may be buying an Orion 250 from a local dealer in Georgia.

I know there is a list here that says what needs to be done with a bike after you get it.

Since I am buying through a dealer, I assume they will do all of that.

Is there a suggested list that I should verify when I go to buy the bike?

Thanks

I would suggest going over it and making sure the bolts are all tight (I wouldnt bother with a wrench though), and make this a habbit. It may be a good idea also to change the oil, if they havent done so.

Where did you find the 250 at?

At a shop in Dawsonville.

http://www.scootersgeorgia.com/oriondirtbikes.html

Warehouse and Sales
67 American Way
Suite 100-120
Dawsonville, GA 30534
800-552-4382

9AM -5PM Monday-Friday
11am - 2pm Saturday

I have never used them or know anyone that has.

I sent them an e-mail at night and had an answer the next morning.

They come with a 6 month warranty and they are putting together a site that we can buy replacement parts from.

They do not sell bike carriers though. I have to buy one before I can buy the bike.

That is the place I was going to try and check out awhile back, but haven't made it up there yet.

Where are located at? I can loan you my trailer. Allen

I think thats going to be a pretty small bike. Look at the size of the wheels. Probably the size of a TTR 125

ambassador · 07-11-2007, 10:05 PM

Damn good price for a TTR though...

katoranger · 07-12-2007, 12:21 PM

Could be wrong specs on the wheel size, but if not I know someone who would be interested in one since it is a 200+cc with a smaller frame.

Keep us posted and take lots of pics.

Hey guys. I personally went and checked out the bike in question. It has a zongshen motor and and the smaller 19"/16" wheels. The bike looks to be off decent build quality and I sat it on and could flat foot. I have a 31" inseam.

The motor is a pushrod type and looks just like the common 200s except the jug looks bigger. It may be a bolt on for some us for a power upgrade.

The muffler is much and the guy there assembling them says that they are loud. The muffler has no spark arrestor and no baffles really either. It is a slip on style and an aftermarket one could easily be fitted.

Bike is large enough for most adults and looks to be a good trail bike.

Dealer seems to be on the up and up too.
