Not spam. Real info that relates to the forum.

I was reading the comments. I don't know if they are assembled in Ohio like stated or China. It may be that the final touched are done in Ohio.

It doesn't matter. It is still a China bike. Will you be getting the oppurtunity to review one?

Hopefully. We tried to get some seat time on one of their choppers last year but it didn't work out. We're based on Canada's east coast and that makes it tricky to get bikes at times.

I discovered the CCW products at the Vancouver Motorcycle show; I was surprised (as an active CR member) that I knew nothing about them being in Canada before then.

What kind of CR member are you? :roll:

Weldangrind · 02-06-2013, 10:15 AM

Not active enough, apparently. I need to start posting more.

As always, thanks for posting the report, Zack!

I just got a great deal on a used, 2004, CRF250X.

Therefore, I can see the similarities between my bike and "Tha Hooligan."

The Honda CRF bikes have had a lot of intake valve problems. :( I only bought my used CRF because the previous owner had spent $600 to install aftermarket valve seats and stainless steel, intake valves.

I wonder how reliable a Chinese copy of the Honda CRF will be? :roll: Besides design and quality control issues, I fear the Chinese bike will be priced way too high relative to a Honda. :(

Nevertheless, I'm still glad to see the Chinese producing motorcycles with larger engines.

Thank you, Stew.

Of course, I will post some photographs when the weather warms up a bit.

Until then, here's a photograph from the Craigslist advertisement.
