I had a TT250 for a short while, basically an off road version of the SG250. That 230cc lump would be perfect for putting around town, particularly in an area where you don't have to deal with heavy traffic and 60 mph speeds. Running errands, getting a haircut or even just a spin out of town on country roads...the SG250 will be a great choice. It's a dead simple design and about a bazillion copies of that basic Honda engine have proven themselves around the world.

Just an FYI - the 2019 and onwards SG250 has undergone several upgrades since the Revzilla review. Basically everything that they complained about has been improved, apart from the big ass rear brake lever. It now has an LED headlamp, upside down forks, disc brake in the rear in place of the drum brake on their review bike, and an all stainless steel exhaust instead of the black painted steel on the 2018 model. Zhongshen also replaced the two pod mechanical gauges with a single pod LCD set up. The chain is still a non o-ring design, so very short life. I would cut it off and replace it with a good EK, RK or D.I.D. brand 428 chain as soon as I got it. That's what I did on my TT250 and I haven't had any issues with it, which is the way I like things. |
