Think I would go for the 250 version. It appears to be the push rod 167fmm engine.

Orion is not EPA certified. The bike comes with a sticker that says not for highway use. I imagine due to the low speed.
Dude in the clone groups got one and the speedometer sensor is placed in a position where it will not work. Check it out https://www.facebook.com/groups/9546...4714506680194/ |

i like the simplicity of this. should be easy to tag in tennessee as motorcycle.
kickstart only is nice since carb options dont have a starter in the way if the starter would be on top. exhaust, carb, fuel lines. ready to go. wonder if there is a bolt on option out there for exhaust |

Speaking about the ZS190, wasn't there supposed to be a factory bike like this coming with that motor from them, or did that get scrapped? |

Was that Orion? If it was the Pitster GLV, Pitster just wrote back and said the ADV 190 is supposed to be available for sale in 2 months.

I watched a video put out by Motor Trend. It was one of their newer shows of two guys who are lifelong friends who test out motorcycles. They rode the new Honda Monkey 125 from Ensenada to La Paz in Baja California, Mexico, loosely following the route of the Baja 1000. The Monkey is not a full on dual sport, but they held their own. The ADV 190 is a lot like the Monkey, but on steroids. I am basing the 'steroids' on what people have reported on swapping the 190cc engine into other bikes, such as the Vader. I am guessing the fit and finish will be better than most since it is Pitster Pro. Heck, I am considering one of them for commuting and to tackle bits of the Arizona Peace Trail that are near me in Yuma.

That thing will rip considering the cg 250cc engines only make like 16hp (correct me if I'm wrong) and the adv 190 only weighs 221lbs, which is 50ish less pounds than the 250's.

The pitster pro with the 190 gets 18HP stock. It is like a grom clone with a ZS 190. The orion bike is 8 or something. |

So many high quality options coming out! I m kinda glad that i didn't jump at the Hawk when it first came out. While the price was amazing and have been kinda kicking myself ever since for not getting one in the beginning. I think these newer model are worth the price increase. Especially the RXB-250L. That is my current favorite, but the adv 190 is a very close second.
