CSC SG250 Tall Rider

[Zcb350fb]

Hi everyone. I am leaning very heavily towards purchasing CSC’s SG250. I Cannot test the SG250 out before purchasing because i live on the east coast. I am 6 ft tall and weigh 200 pounds. I am wondering if i will still fit on the bike. I don’t want to buy it and it be Honda Grom size when it shows up to me front door. Is there anyone out there close to my size or larger that has ridden one of CSC’s SG250’s before? If so, how did it feel? Did you feel like you were too big for the bike.

Any information or responses would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Welcome aboard. We have a couple of members that have recently purchased the CSC SG250. I'm sure they will respond as soon as they are online.


Check with member five3. He has put over 9000 miles on his and girlfriend 8000 miles.

I’m 6’2” tall and weigh 180 lbs. I was very interested in the SG250 when I first saw it. I really like the looks, it being air cooled, the spoked wheels, selling price, etc. but when I finally got a chance to sit on the bike I found it uncomfortable. The seat felt like sitting on a board, my legs were cramped, and the handle bars were too low and too close to my body.
If you are really interested you can probably over come most of these drawbacks by alterations and parts replacements, but it will be difficult to overcome the lack of speed and performance.
Good luck with your choice!

Welcome!

Keep in mind that no two people of the same height even fit the same bike the same way. Take me for example; I am 6'4 and right around 270lbs. I have a 34" inseam, which means I am almost stand up out of the seat on my Hawk without compressing the suspension. I have a friend who is more or less the same height as me with a 32" inseam and neither of us fit the same bikes in the same way. My VFR fits me perfectly,and with his shorter arms and legs finds everything a bit too "stretched" on my bike. Meanwhile, I find his bike a little on the cramped side.

All of that aside, I have seen CSC post a few pictures and photographs of a 6ft tall person riding the SG250, and from what I could tell it didn't look like it fit him too badly. The SG is definitely bigger than a Grom, but still a smaller bike. I would say 6ft is about the tallest person I could see on one, again depending on how you are built. As far as I can tell, the bike should fit up to a 32" inseam with relative comfort.
