Thanks, I've been lurking ever since I started considering the TT250, placed my pre-order back in mid January.

Thanks for all the helpful info you post!

So looking this thread over, other than the CG motor and inverted forks this bike looks like a more refined hawk. Same dash Ect. I assume the fit and finish is the biggest difference?

Yes, many similarities to many Hondoids and time will tell if fit and finish are top notch when they are received. Being a Zongshen, they've always made an upper tier CB, historically. That said, my main motivation to jump on the "boat deal" is that it will be C.A.R.B Approved and legal here in CA. That's huge. If it turns out to be a a top tier CB thanks to Zong, bonus!

Among other things, the CSC TT250 also has a 300 watt stator, and improved switchgear. Also, you receive the unparalleled customer support from CSC.

White for me too. It must be the fastest since it has the orange lettering....

Awesome! Thanks Joe! It's cool to see a company listen to their customers and provide on demand like this. I'm even more confident now that CSC was the right company to do business with. I was pretty excited that he dang near quoted me hahaha 😀

Thanks for alerting us to the new video, Ughmas.

I forgot about the adjustable rebound damping of the forks, until I viewed the video. Apparently the shock absorber is also adjustable; I image it has spring preload adjustment. In addition, the Zongshen engine has a counter balancer.

Thanks for asking this question; I thought I was missing something obvious.

I do like zong quality but in my case I have no reason to pay extra for CARB.
