The Hensim 250 Enduro
A dealer/importer friend of mine is getting these in in August. I am waiting for his opinion of them. He has had excellent luck with the Hensim's and is comfortable enough to offer extended warranties on the locally sold ones. He also rents out Hensim Atv's so they are doing Ok as rentals too.

POWER TRAIN Engine 230cc air cooled, 4 stroke, single cylinder engine,Hand clutch Bore/Stroke 69.0mm/62.0mm (2.71in/2.44in) Compression Ratio 9.1:1 Horsepower 15.6hp@7500rpm Torque 16.5nm@5500rpm (12.16Lb-ft) Fuel System Carbureted Lubrication Wet Sump Ignition CDI Transmission Chain Drive Gear Ratio Five gear-shift Final Drive N/A DIMENSIONS Overall Length 2200mm (86.6in) Overall Width 810mm (31.9in) Overall Height 1180mm (46.5in) Seat height 800mm (31.5in) Ground Clearance 250mm (9.8in) Wheelbase 1440mm (56.7in) Dry Weight 145kg (319.67lbs) CHASSIS Suspension Front Hydraulic pressure , sleeve Front Travel 140mm (5.51in) Suspension Rear Central unit shock absorber suspension Rear Travel 45mm (1.77in) Brakes Front Disc Brake Brakes Rear Disc Brake Tires Front 2.75-21 Tires Rear 4.10-18 OTHER Fuel Tank Capacity 12L (3.17Gal) Color Battery Type 12V/7Ah I searched to see if there had been discussion of this bike but did not see anything other than the 150 cc. If it has been brought up I am sorry! :( Aaron |

Unsure as of yet. I shall E-mail him. It is not my intention for this post to become an advertisement for my friend. You'll notice I've mentioned no names here. I run a forum as well and don't wish to cross any lines. Got a lot of great help and advice on my last go around with a dual sport from China Riders. If at any point I cross any lines it is not intentional and Frostbite and Mods please delete anything that does..no explanation neccessary.

I suppose, if the people ask for it, it is not unsolicited. I don't believe you're helping advertising, as much as you are helping with info we want.
I'm sure I will be severly beaten if I am out-of-line :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Back to the dungeon for me, Tigertamer

we all post links to sites selling China Bikes and we all tell people about Bruce at EJ, So I don;t see how it would be wrong For You to hook us up with another dealer. Never hurts to have another good dealer to go to.

I'm more intrested in your review than the dealers.
Is he going to help you plate it? To me that's worth 200$ right there. My wife would say $500 She did not have fun when I got mine plated. If your friend wants to join the site he can. As long as his profile states that he's a dealer. No advertising. But if some one want something and he can help, no reason he can't do business. You can post where you plan to buy from, you are no where near crossing any lines. Almost forgot.... That's a good looking bike.

The problem with my review is I am in Maine. He is on the left coast. I'm torn on the Hensim because he is also looking at the new 400 liquid cooled bike coming out of China. I'll ask him to join. He is a member in good standing on ScootDawg regarding scoots. Can't say there have been no complaints that would be lying. But he does better than most and you can't please everyone all the time/everytime.

tell him to get the 400 cc liquid cooled and try to keep it sub 2,000 price range!!!!!!
and to get a good parts supply and cross reference the jap compatable parts. then he will be bumping heads with all the great china dealers and parts men.... "bruce and brian" |
