If the six speed transmission is inspired by Honda, there is simply an extra gear between 2-3 or 3-4 (can't recall which); it's not likely to be an overdrive gear. Think of it more like a close-ratio transmission that always allows you to be in the ideal gear for racing.
I can't figure out the design of this motor. The dipstick is in an odd position to be copied from Honda, yet the clutch arm is on the correct side. There is no visible bump for the countershaft, hinting that it's designed more like a KLR250. Hmm... I suspect it would bolt in to any Honda-inspired China bike.

After seeing that video Jerry posted I want one of those. The comments appear to be in Spanish or porchagese so they must sell them in South America. Just have to make it across the US boarder. Heck, if coyotes are doing it on foot I could easily make it with a full tank! Time to take a bird to South America and road trip it back to the US. Whose coming with me?

It should be noted that the 6 speed transmission also means no kick start. That is the trade off.

It was the same way with the CRF230s... They had a kicker at first, but the gears were too weak and they had to redesign the transmission, eliminating the kicker.

I'm willing to lose the kicker for a 6 speed.

I would also trade the kicker for a 6th gear. Probably just wishful thinking that you would actually get it. Would suck for customs to take it and lose the $750. Really actually crappy situation. They know when someone gets these bikes or other bikes they will be modded and not be in compliance but they still make it a requirement.

Still only 223cc not 249cc which is 15kw or so
GPX what engine is in there bikes? 232.6cc or 223cc? It’s very expensive or complex to ship, these engines are not sooo eco since here but shipping is a mare as I looked into it etc |
