I'm interested in the physical dimensions
Quote:
I'm 6'2" tall and weigh 195 lbs., and believe the TT250 will meet my riding needs, (more off road and cross country), and simplified maintenance and less weight, than the RX-3. I like to ride my bike to my off road adventures instead of using a transport vehicle. There are a lot of good riding destinations close by to my home. I'll appreciate any information that members can share. |

Until we have some facts, I'll say that it will be very similar to an XR200. Son of Weldangrind is about your size, and he fits his XR200 well.
My bike (Lifanda) also fits him well, and it's quite similar to a TT250. He rode it from Spudland to Bonneville.

I should have asked if the TT will be CARB certified for California?

I sure hope so?
I sure hope it will be CARB certified in California! And since CSC is located in California, it would seem to be a "no brainer" to get it certified where your company is located and you do a lot of business! I'm counting on purchasing a TT250. We can only wait and see what CSC does.

Cleveland Cyclewerks managed to get their proprietary engine which is OEM'd by Lifan CARB certified, and Qingqi got their 200 and 250 engines certified in California, and it would make sense for CSC to do so, but from what I understand costs are high. There are plenty of distributors who have headquarters in California, but don't have CARB approval. But, again, my guess is that is what will make this Zongshen stand out over all the low-cost 49-state bikes--California approval.

No, it is not a bad thing at all. I own a 2005 Honda XR650L, and it is a great motorcycle.

I think CSC is calling the bike a 'special edition,' because the bike is not stock. The bike is built in the Zongshen factory, with the same quality control standards Zongshen has maintained, and improved for the last decade. Also, besides specifying the USD forks, CSC is also upgrading the switchgear and other hardware to meet their high company standards. In addition, CSC has submitted the bike for EPA and CARB testing to get 50-state approval for this bike in the United States. Also, CSC will certainly offer the same excellent customer service, parts availability, and warranty coverage as they do with their Cyclone RX3 motorcycle.

What attracts you to the TT250?
I'm attached to the TT250 because of it's "good looks" and simplicity. Air cooled, carburetor, light weight, simplified electronics and lack of fragile plastic body work. It reminds me a lot of the early Japanese motorcycles I rode in the 1950's. A bike that I can take into remote areas and be able to return home with making any necessary repairs myself.
I'm interested in what attracts others to this bike. Please feel free to list "your reasons" for being attached to the TT250. I'm interested in your ideas and opinions. |

Thanks for posting the link, Dude.
Looking over the specs, it appears the TT Special has the traditional, 37mm, USD Chinese forks.

I am biased toward the copper color scheme.
