Waiting for my TT250

[1cylinderwonder]

I am new to Chinese motorcycles. A friend and I were riding in the hills above Azusa a while back and saw some unusual looking motorcycles. When we got a chance for a closer look we saw that they were CSC badged and looked a lot like "small size" R1200GS's? WTF? We then learned that CSC was the name of the company bringing them into the USA.
We stopped into the California Scooter Co. later in the day and liked what we saw.
In fact I like what I saw so much that I left a $1000 deposit for the upcoming TT250 bike that CSC will be bringing in later this year. I am really excited about this bike. I have been looking for a light weight and inexpensive dual sport for some back country exploring, and I think this bike is perfect.
Now, I just have to WAIT!

Welcome to the forum, I also was up at CSC the first week in December and almost left a deposit on a TT 250 but currently have two RX3 Cyclones and running out of room with 4 motorcycles total. I may have to get rid of a car to make more room for it.

I know what you mean. I need to sell at least one of my motorcycles.

Congrats on the new bike. The tt250 looks like a killer deal for a dual sport, especially in CA if you can save on shipping.

Can you tell us a bit bout the tt250 u saw? 1. Why did u choose a tt250 over an rx3? 2. How experienced a rider r u? 3. Did u get a chance to sit/ take a short demo ride? 4. If so how big r u and can u describe your impressions? Thanks in advance, I am agonizing over the tt250 vs some of the other Chinese bikes out there.

Welcome 1cylinder. Hooked you right by the dock, did they? <chuckle>

And to SeerAtlas, as far as agonizing, I simply point out CSC customer support.

Congratulations, and welcome to The Cult of The Zong. What color did you choose?

I chose the white with orange. Plan on adding more of the same orange color to the bike. Similar to the TT250 shown in Columbia.

The saddle is wider than most of the saddles provided on Japanese dual sport bikes of a similar size. The saddle is what I would call a medium firmness. Can't judge the saddle comfort level until I do a lengthy ride or test ride. The bike would fit into the medium to smaller size in comparison to most 650cc motorcycles. Not "clown size"! Overall it would fit in the larger size in the 250cc dual sport category.
Hope this helps in your search.

Welcome! I'm looking forward to hearing your impressions after getting some saddle time.

I'm in the same boat - been hanging out here to whittle the time away until my tt250 shows up. I went with white/orange, and already have some plans for it is it doesn't end up coming with a few things like hand guards, charging ports, and auxiliary LED lighting.
