2016 Apollo 250 and 2016 x18 125

Kaifune · 10-03-2016, 02:45 PM

1,100 miles, $2,200, two days, and a broken truck later I have the bikes home. A few miles on them already and the giggle per dollar ratio has been phenomenal.

I'll get some pictures of them on the dirt this Wednesday with a different sized people on them for scale (can be helpful when buying online).

Is that 250cc's or 230cc. Have been wondering about that dirt bike?

New paint is always nice, I know it won't last long

I see bark busters in your near future welcome to the addiction.

PS what's up with the pickup?

Bark busters are on the list of things to do over the winter, among other upgrades listed on this forum.

The tag says 249cc on the frame, but I've heard they are really 230. *shrugs*

Stupid pickup... at about mile 700 the speedo went out. Mostly highway driving so no huge thing, but no cruise, no speedo. Just an annoyance that hit harder than it should after 11 hours travel. Fixed now however!

Also saves your brake lever if you clip a tree. Hypothetically. Going to shop for new levers now.
