There are definitely many opinions on this matter. There are good/bad times had by a variety of people. Youll hear some say that TXpowersports is not good then someone else will say that TXpowersports is amazing and ships fast. With my personal buying the best and fastest buying was from familygokarts. I bought an apollo deluxe from them and it took less than a week to get here then another 2 weeks for my MCO. That was the fastest cleanest transaction I have ever had with a china bike seller. Many other people I know, went through them as well and had ZERO issues. Again thats just our experience BUT quite a few people I know went through them to get apollo super motos and had no issues. There are a few other places that get stuff out to you quick with not much trouble, such as peacepowersports /(Peace Industry Group) they also have a very great reputation. Good luck!

I asked this question and from what I got and looked up in reviews, read and etc, etc...
It seemed to be a crap shoot. They all had good and bad.... that being said I have a feeling a lot of the bad that is said is by people that do not have realistic expectations and probably do not have much mechanical ability or are not willing to learn.... and the profit margins are soooo tight even if the companies wanted to it may be hard for them to provide decent customer service.... Mine has not arrived yet but is on order. I do fully expect to have to go over most parts of the bike with a fine toothed comb and $h!t ton of loctite If a 1300 bike were fully reliable it would sell for higher or the big 4 Japanese would sell for less but we know that's not the case so you just have to expect you will have to turn a wrench, I don't think many realize this.... JM2C and worth and some random thoughts of course... |

SSR XF250 or SR250S
If I had a bunch of $ I would get an SSR XF250. If I had a whole bunch of $ I would get a SR250S and put tail lights, turn signals, and a horn on it and register it for the street.
However, I had medium $ and got a CSC TT250. I love the support that CSC provides in tech info and parts. And they have a 1-year unlimited mileage warranty that I know they stand by.

https://www.orionpowersports.com/ori...embled-tested/ For the OP. There really is no good answer for this as every vendor has a bad review here or there. I have ordered two bikes from Killer Motorsports with no problems, but yet others have had bad experiences with them. CSC is probably the king in terms of reputation and customer service. Venom Motorsports and ShopAMC both seem to have a distinct lack of bad reviews on this site. At the end of the day though, there is no guarantee that you will have a perfect experience.

Rxb250

They delivered in 6 days. The Title and MCO you have to "apply" for it after you get your bike, but it is free. The RXB250 does have the Zongshen engine like the TT250, but not counterbalanced if that make a difference to someone (it did me). I think CSC is way better at providing technical support and has virtually every part on hand. However, Orion has been OK with the help I needed. I wouldn't know about the better suspension components like you, but I am sure you know what you are talking about. This is good to know. I notice that it has the heavier 520 chain, which is good. Weighs 50 pounds less, but has a one gallon smaller gas tank.

If you notice, I said a better off-road bike, not better bike full stop. That means that I view the TT250 as a better on-road bike, which it is. Counter balanced engine, bigger fuel tank, etc. Why is the RXB250 a better off road capable bike? Fully adjustable longer travel fast ace forks and rear progressive link suspension. The rear swing arm and triple clamps are not only a better design, but also much stronger. 60lbs less weight to pick up as well. In terms of off roading, the RXB-250L is a much more capable machine than the TT250. That doesn't make it the best in terms of dual sport as a whole. My ideal Chinese dual sport would be a TT250/Hawk style frame and fuel tank with the RXB250L suspension, swing arm, and triples with an NC250 motor. Give me that combination for $3k delivered, and I would be happy.

Peace MotorSports seems to be building up a very fine Reputation as a responsive and reputable Dealer here as well, in regards to the Brozz 250's.

Peace almost uses CSC's model of mail-order excellence. The biggest difference is CSC is a brick and mortar retail shop with full service and parts that 'happens' to ship...Peace has parts and ships, but does not service and I am guessing, offer local pickup of PDI'd bikes (maybe in a crate). Actually, CSC's bikes come fully assembled and ready to ride.

All I can say is Peace Sports has been great for me. Bike shipped fast(under a week), and with the MCO in the same package. Parts came super fast when needed for stuff under warranty and parts I just broke.
