There was a discussion on it a couple of weeks ago.
http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=24720

The bike has good potential as a great commuter/daily, but as I pointed out in my last post on that thread, other bikes can be had for relatively not much more money that offer a lot more bang for the buck.

Still, it wouldn't be a bad little bike to run around on, and it still interests me to a degree. If it were possible to get it delivered for a few hundred less...

This bike should be in the $2500-2600 range.

Thanks for the link, MegaDan. I'll check it out.

wheelbender6 · 11-18-2019, 09:04 PM

i am confused on the engine size. My link says 250cc and MegaDan's says its 320cc. I would guess that the Vitacci site is correct.

The Vitacci site does not provide a displacement, but lists a 62mm bore and 53mm stroke. That gives a displacement around 320cc, using an on-line app. (I tried to calculate the displacement myself with a calculator, but got 340cc)

**JerryHawk250** · 11-19-2019, 07:53 AM

It is 320cc's. TXPS has it listed wrong as a 250cc. What I don't understand is how they are selling the bike. It doesn't have EPA certification yet according to the latest list that was put out in October.

PAGSTA did have EPA certifications on this engine in 2016 for it's Pagsta Bobber, Chopper and Cruiser and was 50 state certified.

There are a few online dealers stating it's High Performance 250cc Engine ( equivalent to 350cc engine performance ). The YY262MP engine has been around for a long time and is a 320cc engine. I've been swapping emails back a forth with Vitacci to get the correct information out.

Edit: I got verification that it is a 320cc but titled as a 250cc.

Too expensive for a china bike, too many name brand bikes within reach at that price point. The reason china bikes are popular is because they generally cost significantly less than the bike they are copying which makes the risk of worse quality worth it... Like grom clones so what if plastic sucks plastidip it and in future slap on genuine grom plastics.

In this range at 3grand I may as well just use a yamaha card and buy an R3 which is more but 100% supported by local dealers and very proven.

Agree that it is pricey for a Chinese bike, but it has similar performance to the Himalayan, that costs a grand more. RE dealers have be gouging Hima buyers in some areas with out-the-door prices approaching 7 grand.
-the biggest bargains in China bikes are still in dual sports and Grom clones.

I like the look of this one, but same deal, it would be more of a commuter.
