I like the looks of it.
Had to look up nc700x. That is a sharp bike too. I think you need the 250rte. Variety is the spice of life. I think a lot of us on the forum have a bigger street bike and a china bike as well. |

Going by the photo it looks to have the CB250 OHC motor!
Mind you shows 229cc which isn't the OHC but the push rod CG 250 |

Just a quick heads up on the NC700. If you ride bikes that have a redline 10,000 to 13,000 rpm like I am, you're going to hate the NC700. Depending on the year, it's 6800 to 7500. I test rode one with a sales guy. He got mad at me because I couldn't keep the thing off the rev limiter.

Looks like your basic supermoto version of a Hawk.
Getting real burnt on the same old tube frame, steel box swing arm that crushes like butter that has been used for two decades. I wish Apollo would make a dual sport version of their CB engine'd DB36 with the modern designed frame and aluminum swing arm. That would be a true step up for a Hondoid dual sport.

Spoke to a factory in Chongqing yesterday about these things, everything must be lots of 32 bikes or parts or what ever.
They make something like 3-5% margin on stuff in bulk and that is all they want to do - no changes no EPA DOT not interested in much else just a bundle of cash and piss off etc. Logically there is no reason it cannot be redone and much better spec, NO importer wants to do it no buyer wants to pay more for a $1400 bike (exept CSC buyers who are smarter) The answer to all the issues is the market, South America just buys them n sells them and some end up in the USA cause cheap cheap etc. again I sat these are not sold (often) in china as we get other cheap crap styles and Chinese guys are not interested in more crap - now that is saying something
