Are you looking for something to do more serious off-roading with?

I don't remember seeing any long travel full size china bikes yet... maybe they are in the works, but I don't think there will be a true MX class bike from them for a while.

i got one of the 250's with the 21'' front and the 18'' rear tires,and bike is decent, EXCEPT the suspension blows for anything more than riding around fields,my forks bottom alot ,so i added fork oil,maybe too much and now the oil just runs out the bottom .You are welcome to give it a look at orionpitbikesales.com

Those forks certainly do look a little small -- but heck, at least the Chinese are trying to get into that full size off-road bike market... it will be interesting to see how things go as they start putting higher displacement models out.

I also just got my viva vx 250 pr which has 21 front and 18 rear wheels. I put it together yesterday and only put about 10 miles on it today. I haven't been anywhere but in the dirt so I can't really tell ya much except it is going to be a good toy for me. i'm 6' 230, and it fits me real good

hi bigcountry, can you post the store you bought it so i can check it out. im searching on net but so far no matches. thanks

BigCountry · 08-16-2007, 07:05 PM

Hey Randy,
I saw this bike on ebay but didn't buy it off there. I just called the number they had listed and ordered it straight from them. It was no hassle and you don't have to go through an operator. www.family-motors.net The bike listed had smaller wheels but when you call you can make sure it is the 21 and 18 that you want. Take care

hi BigCountry thanks, but the website says no to ca. hows the rear suspension, is there lots of travel or mostly stiff and rough rideing. thanks
