Csc tt250

[mjs91882]

Hey guys I'm in the market for a dual sport. Had a Klx250 previously but now just have a ninja. I'm just wonder what your insight is on the TT250? Looks like a solid machine with CSC backing the customer up with great customer service. My dream bike would be a Wr250r but 6k is a bit to much for me right now.

i am very close to LG, I have a hawk that is just about done doing the mods, you are welcome to check it out if you want.

im not familiar with the TT250 but i've nothing but good things from the guys here about them.

I have a CSC TT250 in the stable and it's a great bike, seriously. I live in CA so it was one of two buying options here. You're in NY so your options are plentiful.

I have three CSC bikes and yes, their customer service is better than almost ANY company I've dealt with, not just a motorcycle company. The bike itself is loaded with bling you don't find on the other Hondoids and it also has a Zongshen motor. These things and the customer service is what sets the TT250 apart from the other Hondoids.

That said, the Hawk, Enforcer, Brozz, Shark, Storm, etc...Hondoids are also very nice bikes and worth a look, just because of pricing alone but again, I'm very happy with the TT250 and the company. No complaints.

The Hawk's engine is on par with the tt250's engine minus the counter balanced engine.

thats funny, the MRS has been telling me for years that i need to be counter balanced

[BigWeld]

So for clarification: is the counterbalanced engine being used in the Brozz and Shark a Zongshen?

Not sure. If I remember right, our TT250 engine number starts with a "ZS". I can confirm that tonight. Not sure what the motor numbers on the Bashan bikes starts with.

Thank you for the input guys!! Greatly appreciated

I have a TT 250 and apart from a couple of minor issues that have been fixed I've managed to put 9K miles on it since the middle of June using it as a commuter. I have upgraded the headlight and taillight to LED's opened up the exhaust and rejetted the carb and went to a 45 tooth rear sprocket since my commute has a pretty long stretch of 55 mph 2 lane Highway. I have to say that for what I paid for it I'm very happy with it.

[mjs91882]

So I'm down to the TT250 or the Bashan Brozz 250. The Brozz sounds like a good deal but are there to many problems with them, that I should just buy the TT250?

I've not heard of any issues out of the ordinary with the Brozz. Any Hondoid will be a good bike. They're very basic.

You really can't look at these as drastically different bikes (like a Kawasaki vs Suzuki) They all share a ton of the same parts and are all very similar in design. Differences from bike-to-bike include:

Tire and rim size. Some are more set up for the street like the B5rozz and some are more set up for dirt with aggressive knobbies like the Hawk, Enforcer, etc... The TT250 has the larger rims with a nice dual sport tire.

Motors: Some have a counterbalanced motor (Brozz TT250, etc..), others don't have the counterbalance shaft. (Hawk, Enforcer, etc..)

Rear disk or rear drum brake. I have both and like the action of the disk better. More sensitive and reactive. The drum works just fine but is not as sensitive and squeals like hell until it's warm.

Standard vs USD forks.

That pretty much sums it up. Again, what sets the TT250 apart from the rest besides higher price and CARB approval, is the extra bling like a cool gas cap, stainless fasteners, 300 watt stator, mat finish frame, a-b switches on the switch gear for adding electrical stuff, LED's, and a Zongshen motor...plus the backing of CSC in both parts and service support. Obviously to me, it was all about CARB approval.

Its a Lifan engine.

What have you folks found to be the best tooth size front sprocket to slightly boost the highway top speed about 3 to 6 mph?
I'm looking for a little higher highway speed without hurting the off roadability of the bike too much.

17-45

I'm running a 17/45 setup and at 245 lbs. it will run an honest 65 mph with me sitting upright if I really wring it out. It has no problem getting to 58-60 and maintaining that speed on my daily commute but it takes some work to get to 65.
