Hello, everyone!

I recently seen that popular youtube about the cheap chinese, street-legal, enduro bikes and after coming back from my Vietnam vacation and riding 125ccs over there, I now have an urge to get a 250cc bike to learn manual over here in the US! I've always wanted to ride a motorcycle but its quite dangerous. I never bought a bike or obtained my motorcycle endorsement because of the fear of other drivers if I were to ride a motorcycle in my city. Anyway, I'm now applying for my motorcycle permit and purchasing an SSR250 soon after weeks watching additional youtube videos and perusing chinese biking community forums.

My main inquiry for joining this forum was to ask the following question: Will a 250cc chinese Enduro bike make a transcontinental trip? I hear these bikes' top speed are around 70ish mph, so that may limit interstate travels. How long can I keep the throttled engaged before my engine temps are critical due to running at constant, high rpms? I know the tanks are like 2.5 gallons and could probably squeeze 150-160 miles before having to refuel. However, my main concern is can my hypothetical Hawk DLX EFI 250cc/SSR250cc maintain a constant rate of 60-65 mp/h at 6-7000 rpms before having to refuel intermittently every 2-3 hours?

I plan on taking this trip in the very near future. I just wanna know if my new bike is going to make it to Texas/Washing/Oregon. Hoping to meet and introduce myself further to members of this community soon! Thanks in advance!

Best,
Tri
