I absolutely love this bike! At a quick glance it almost looks like a KLR that was put on a quick diet, lol
![]() I would be very interested in getting one of these, I'm guessing though that it will be priced about the same as the 650 Versys, at least here in Canada. I've nearly pulled the trigger on the 650 Versys a few times, dunno why, but I just like the looks of the bike. Anxiously awaiting some road test reports and pricing ![]() |

and this....."the Honda, and the BMW 310GS all coming soon."
of course, price will determine the interest, but this is the kinda bike I was talking about in the other thread. Looking forward to seeing more! |

We all knew something was bound to happen with the rest of the manufacturers. Here's more.

Cool. Just a atter of time until everyone has one. I wonder what the bottom line is going to be and where most of the parts are made?

Another "me too"
http://www.motorcycle.com/manufactur...strom-250.html http://www.motorcycle.com/manufactur...y-preview.html Agreed. Everyone will have a similar model out shortly. We may have Millennials and Baby Boomers to thank for this (at least for the North American markets) Millennials tends to be more practical, utilitarian and take less financial risk. And frankly, they have a ton of student loan debt with less opportunity in the job market than most other generations have seen in quite some time so less disposable income. These smaller, practical, do-it-all, types of bikes at lower price points are more appealing to this generation. Baby Boomers (otherwise known as old farts) are getting to the point where they don't want the size, weight, and expense of the larger liter plus bikes. I'm sure manufactures have had these smaller ADV style bikes in the R&D cycle for a while now. It's taken the right market conditions and a company like Zongshen to establish the niche for the major OEM's to finally decide the market is profitable enough to produce this style/size of bike.

1100cc dirt bike but that's just me..... this is a good remark.
![]() Manuf. Tried all they could to market these liter+ bikes but most public say why do i want to risk my $16k bike and wreck it out in the sticks. I would be very paranoid if I had so much scratch it with a mesquite branch if I paid that kind of money.

Odd that bike makers are spending a lot of development money on sub-500cc machines, especially with gas prices so low in the States. I guess the smaller engines still save you a lot of money on insurance.
