Venom motorsports Superbike 250cc efi?
I'm thinking about getting this bike but I'm curious because I can't find any information on it. Is it a bike that's just had an efi kit put on it? But it says it's a six speed and dong fangs are mostly 5 speed. It says in the description it's a "bd250-5". Any help would be appreciated.

It says it's 5 speed. Zongshen probably just shoved some EFI kit on there, and called it a day. If it's water cooled, it may have an offset radiator (or radiators) like the liquid cooled lifans.
The only info you may find is in China, as it's new here in north America. I do suggest you keep looking though. Honestly, it's probably not the best deal. It looks cool, but may be somewhat underwhelming in delivery. Edit: after looking at the website, looks like venom edited the description to say 6 speed now. But, it still says 5 speed lower down.

I'm also intrigued by this bike and keep looking at it. I'd like an x22r to add to my garage, but the introduction of this one changed my mind and now I'm debating. That model code (BD-250) leads me to believe it is a BaoDiao Locomotive product. My x22 is a BD-125-11. That may help in your info search.
I don't find that "superbike" is an appropriate name for a little 250, but I like the EFI, larger engine and transmission. If I find any info, I'll be sure to share.

According to the latest EPA list it's an air cooled 233cc OHC, 5 speed manual with EFI. Still only a 15.4 HP engine. Basically the same engine that comes on the X22R 250 and Ghost 250 except with EFI. I'm not saying it couldn't have a 6 speed because I've seen a few bikes get slipped in under another certification.

FREE UPGRADED 250CC ENGINE + 5-SPEED TRANSMISSION + EFI FUEL INJECTED ($450 value)
The Venom BD250-5 250cc has a powerful motor that delivers the most power and torque in its class, and has a special Electronic Fuel Injection technology that lets you experience the thrill of a real sports bike. This is also under the bikes description... so, I dont know |

The EFI is a nice feature but in my opinion, the X22R looks to be a better build. On the X22R, The Front and rear shocks are fully adjustable. The dual front disc brakes on the X22R have 8 piston calipers vs 4 on the EFI model.
Now if the EFI model does come with a 6 speed then that would be a game changer.

Hopefully, Venom puts out a video of them actually riding and reviewing it, instead of the chinese press videos.
I understand drumming up excitement for the bike, but still, we need more accurate info. I wish they'd let a few of us review the bikes. I think JerryHawk would be the best candidate, since he has a more established youtube channel. lol. |

ALL honesty though... it's gonna take a while. I put the bike on layaway today and then have to pay it off. And then have to get the parts and take it apart and take the parts to a machine shop for the milling. |
