Any pricing yet? I also heard they are dropping the Mustang clone. Too bad. They were available first only in 150cc, then, later, they added the 250cc version. I did get to see one in person at a dealer in Tacoma, Wa. They looked pretty solid to me.

That's good information. If I had tamper-proof screws on a bowl, I'd promptly replace them with socket head cap screws. How else are you going to clean the bowl, let alone change jets?

So cool that CSC sets the bikes up properly before shipping.

Tamper proof screws are likely an EPA initiative.

Thumbs Up The color White

I was reading the CSC Blog today and saw in the posting of the Long Beach Motorcycle Show a photo showing the "WHITE" TT250 Special.
I really like the white color and will be ordering one as soon as pricing and availability become known. I hope it's quite soon.

Another good thing bout this bike is it really close to a Hawk 250 so it should help with easier parts availability and maintenance info.

True! I hadn't considered that CSC could now be a parts source for other Hondoid China Bikes.

Has a price been firmed up yet? Also, has a definitive date been set?

No, a firm price has not yet been established. The bike is tentatively scheduled to arrive before next spring.

I'm torn between the copper color and the white. Based on the experience we've had so far with the RX3 and CSC (marzhere's orange blossom special), I'm likely in on the TT.

I hope CSC will be offering jetting options. Can anyone confirm? I'll be doing most of my riding between 6,000 and 12,000 ft.

I would give CSC a phone call, and ask them. CSC should certainly stock a variety of carburetor jets for any bike which has carburetor.

I am in the L.A. area until Sunday visiting family for Thanksgiving. I was planning on driving the hour+ or so this Friday to Excalibur to pick up a windshield for my new love in my life, my TGB scooter, and called CSC and found out they are open (they are probably within 20 minutes of each other and CSC is actually on the way to Excalibur). I was all set to sit upon the TT, and give it a going over, but alas, Excalibur is closed on Friday! Not sure if I will drive all the way just to see the bike (although I would like to sit upon the RX3, too), as I would probably buy one anyway, but will let you guys know via this thread and photos if I do choose to go. Keep in mind this is the greater metropolitan L.A. area AND Black Friday (and not everyone is off of work, so is a regular commute for many), so traffic will be a huge mess.

I called CSC on Wednesday, and was told they will be open on Friday and Saturday. If you visit them, please bring along your camera, and take some photos. I hope you have a happy, and safe Thanksgiving.
