It has worked out well for the RX3 bikes

The dual sport/enduro section already pretty much is a Hondoid section, isn't it?
It would be nice is someone would show up with an SSR XF250 someday, like there used to be a number of Q Links and Konkers here. Mix it up a little.....

I sold my CSC TT250 and getting a SSR XF250. I don't think you will see many if any posts here the bike just works. Some of the riders in our group have the SSR XF250. It's a rock solid bike with a excellent engine. The bike cost more then a Hawk or the CSC, but worth the extra money. In my opinion, and I have had both a Hawk and CSC the SSR is a much better bike and still cost less then a bike from Japan or Europe.

We also have a TT250 and love it....but like the other Hondoids, it still has some Old World engineering.....but it's also less expensive than the SSR. Please start a new thread once you get it. It'll be neat to see something different. I'm still looking at an XF250....but I don't know if I'd ever sell Q.

Yes, please post your XF250 experiences, tommy!
Member dh posts about his XF250 from time to time. 2LZ, how come we don't hear more about your Qlink? I know the answer lies somewhere between the TT250 and RX3--actually right between them, and you don't have time to ride it, but still... ![]()

![]() With the Hawk, the only mod was a carb change. Not a bad bike for the price and if the person is on a budget and can do some mechanic work go for it, but I would not call it a gas and go bike, you need to put some work into it. The CSC TT250 needs no mods, just gas and go. It was a very good bike and for a person that does not want to wrench on a bike it to is a very good choice for the money. SSR XF250 is just a better all round bike, but you pay more. I think it also has a Suzuki clone engine that is excellent. You ride a Hawk or the CSC and then take a ride on the SSR and you will say wow what a nice bike. So to me SSR is worth the extra money. It's all about personal choice. I will say most in our group are going to the SSR. |

I think 2LZ just puts it up on lift the to look at the pretty bling forks on the Qlink. We used to have a dealer up here but he closed shop in 2009 after the gas prices went down. We have a SSR dealer but his business strategy is so wrong that I would never buy anything from him.

Here's my local guy. Doesn't instill a ton of confidence. I need to go by there and do a recon next time I'm in that area. http://www.sacramentoatv.com/home-.html
