My CSC TT250

['16 TT250]

Something I've forgotten to mention that I found odd. Riding around this weekend I got more waves and nods from other bikers than on any other bike I've had. Don't know if it was just a fluke or what, but every single rider I saw acknowledged me; Harleys, sport bikes, standards, didn't matter. Maybe because it's a neutral kinda bike, doesn't have any stigma that other bike types have.

Good looking bike .... And I like the swingarm decal too! The white is a sharp bike but the decals turned me off.

Thanks for posting the photos.

I might take it off but I kinda like it. I took all the stickers off the engine and the one on the gas tank; all warnings, QC, & stuff. I'll probably also remove the safety/ID sticker on the swingarm. I asked that they install it somewhere hidden or not install it but they have to put it on and it must be visible. I may try to relocate it if it doesn't fall apart removing it. Initially black was the only color I had written off, oddly wound up liking it best. I like that everything kinda matches with just some contrasting parts, plus the reasons below about the other colors.

Where it lives keeping the Honda company now that the Duc has gone away.

The white model. I liked it except for the orange TT letters. I considered the thought of removing the decals but thought it would look too plain, still tossed.

And the copper. I think it's a little less orange/red looking in person than in photo, but not copper enough to finish drawing me in; it was almost there. Had it been more like the late Jeep copper I'da probably done it.

You can get the image codes at the upper right of the webpage, but the images need to be reduced in size, or the thread will be too difficult to read.

Good point Spud. My phone takes large pics. I email them to myself, then download them to my desktop, open them in "Paint", then resize to 640/480 before I load them here.
Easy to do and also, doesn't blow up the thread.

The TT looks great! Those of us on mail order are still in Limbo. The upside is after purchasing the RX3, this delay will give my checkbook a little time to stop the hemorrhaging.

Thanks for the post 16 TT250. I was going to post pics of my TTs (white and copper - wanted copper, ordered red cause no copper, received copper) but turns out that the bikes you posted pictures of are mine!! Spent a little time on them and am having a blast. My teenage boys are beside themselves. They seem well built, and are easy to ride. looking forward to getting them broken in and spending time in the dirt. More to come.

That's funny, I don't think the bike is angular. The seat and plastic parts look curved to me. Also, I think Spud's bike, which looks somewhat similar, looks great with them. To each his own I guess.

Funny, I ordered red. I was bummed when they said no reds were made. Not sure which way I'd have gone, but I liked the red in photos.

there is always paint. my last ninja (95 zx6r) had a polished rustoleum red paint job. nobody could tell. was easy to touch up too

The CSC TT250 should be very easy to paint.

My 2015 Zongshen RX3 was originally orange.



This year I painted it Patriotic Blue.

If I had to paint something to like it would pass, and I was close on the TT. Flip-side is that I don't mind doing mechanical things whether repairs or mods. All of my other vehicles are old and may not be pretty, but function perfectly.

I place paint right in there is other "mods". its just a fun personalization of the bike. and rattle cans are cheap.

I couldn't have said it better, myself. I painted my bike during the rainy cold days of early spring, when I couldn't go riding. Painting is just another modification, and it is one of the cheapest mods. I spent less than $50 to repaint my RX3, including a fuel/weather resistant, 2K clearcoat on the gas tank. I also sprayed all the plastic panels with a UV resistant, clearcoat.

I decided to take a little highway run to see what top speed is; 57MPH. I was told it would do 65+.
