Opinions on Loncin 250

Hi. Long time lurker, 1st time poster.

I was at my local china bike distributer and in the showroom I saw one of these:

It is a Loncin LRX 250 GY. It appears to be a copy of a Honda CR230F. It has a full turn signal kit, front and rear disc brakes, stainless steel brake lines 8O and a seemingly good suspension. In fact, I thought it was a destickered CR230F until I saw the Loncin on the side of the engine cases.

Does anyone have one of these? What are they like? They seemed really dirt oriented (didn't even have DOT tires on it).

The price was $3999 Cdn, however, the dealer basically said they were selling them for 2899 Cdn.

Thanks and I am enjoying the site.

Great looking bike. Roketa has the DB-36A which looks to be close to it and I'm still waiting to get an up close and personal look at it.

My Hongdou has a copy of the Honda CRF230 motor, very impressive performance, heaps of low down grunt.
