Nice pair of bikes. Nice job on the SRAD. I don't see too many of those running around my neck of the woods these days. I am digging that leather tank cover.

I used to see videos from Europe of the street-legal Apollos with the 17/17 wheel setup; I like the knobby tire setup you have, and obviously as shown in your photo better for the dirt!
They only sell off-road versions of the Apollo in N. America (I am including Canada which I believe have this bike), which is a shame, but those who buy them for mild off-roading love their bikes.

I never really looked at the Apollo because it's not street legal here but I must say the angles on that bike look great! I wish we had that option now.

Hoi Chineeske.
Ik vermoed dat wij tot de weinige RX250 rijders in Nederland behoren. De enige technische mods die ik heb vericht zijn : inbusbout op het dynamo deksel, een hoekijzer op het rempedaal (om deze omlaag te brengen) Hoofdsproeier naar 120 gebracht, Ze loopt nu mooi rond en verbruikt zo'n 1lop30km, schakelpedaal omlaag gesteld, 12volt stopcontact geplaatst, Fodsports GPS aangebracht, Heidenau winterbanden geplaatst. tank breather geplaatst. Verder een gemodificeerde stalen tractor zadel geplaatst, Oxford topkoffer aangebracht, Beck fietstassen gemonteerd, een set paardenzadeltassen geplaatst, en een kussen verpakking als tanktas. Waneer deze accu op is neem ik een Motobatt gel accu als vervanging. Ze heeft nu zo'n 20000 km gelopen zonder al te grote problemen. Veel plezier met je Orion RX 250! Groetjes Jesse.

Nice bikes, I'm curious why you ditched the water cooled engine so soon. We're there no air cooled options like the Hawk or a similar bike available? Do you have any plans for your water cooled engine?

Well, although I am really happy with the looks and build quality of the Apollo, I have decided to whack the bike up a bit.
Yes... The Zongshen 2 valver has to go and it's going to replaced with this thing: Yep, I have to give some TLC to this engine, as it needs a new cam chain and some new gaskets here and there... I always like the view with an engine on my workbench! But first this never ending story has to be fixed (clutch), but hey... it keeps me of the street hahaha And then this bike will be stripped to the bone, guess it will be a true upgrade for my little Chinese friend |
