Budget 450mt?

rideoutadv · Yesterday, 12:30 PM

What is the most similar affordable chinabike to the 450mt (yes I realize the 450mt is also a china bike to begin with.) Touring focused, 300-500cc, potentially even a twin.

A lot of my riding lately has been touring focused and I want to know if there's any affordable options I might consider trading to, that would come out even cheaper than the 450mt. Bonus points if the bike you suggest can still do some manner of offroad.

You won't find anything new offering the same feature package set as the 450MT cheaper.

the options are either single cylinders, or 10+ year old used bikes.

Otherwise Just save up for the 450MT.

That IS the budget 450

Yeah. Sadly the 450NK was sold for $4.880,which is an awesome price, but with dealer fees, setup fees, transport fees, were looking at $7k+.
For that price I'm better off with a second hand Honda Rebel 500.

Just to steer this thread into more of what I was thinking, I'm asking if there's any similar bikes to the Benelli TRK502, the RX3 or RX4, or the up and coming Lifan KPT400? What current chinese touring bikes are available under the 450mt's price?

I don't think there is anything bigger than a 297cc dirt bike like the TM 38 (Trailmaster). But it's $4k

So as I said the 450mt actually is at the low end of pricing for anything that you can claim that you can tour on it.

The Himmy 411 and 452 are cheaper than the 450MT.

or a used CB500X/KLR650/versys300...

You won't get that 270* crank twin engine though...

To be fair, the question is "What current chinese touring bikes are available under the 450mt's price?"
