Gio, 200 T3 and Beast Side by Side comparison?
I'm sure we've got members here with both machines? Anyone care to do a side by side comparison, their opinions, pro's, cons, etc?

I'm merely considering it... I mean, you guys might ask me to leave pretty soon if I only continue posting about Honda's and don't own any China vehicles.... Gio does seem to be the way to go though in BC, they seem to have the best product for the price, and I've never heard a bad thing about their service. I'm just wondering what the differences in the 2 are, the t3 looks like the better machine, but I'm sure they both get the job done.

Yeah we're going to throw you out any time now unless you buy some chinese junk!!
I like my Beast for the money I spent on it for sure, can't really offer any comparison advice since I've only seen the T3 in pictures too. I'm happy to let you try my Beast out sometime if you want a test run on it. It's currently parked in your home town and with the warm weather, starts on half a crank when you push the button. ..the chain flying off is another matter. |

My glasses came from China I think I'm sure I have lots of "stuff" from China, just nothing to ride...
It's just been something I've been toying with, and I've been a bit busier at work lately, though I still probably have other things I should put my money towards.

You didn't name a price! :P Plus, it would be a hassle at the border I think. I'm sure you'll find someone though, those are nice bikes.

I'm shooting for about $1,600. List I think is $2,800.
Q's may be OK in Canada, Konkers are.

Oh yeah, there is just a process to go through at the border when importing a vehicle... I think I'm allergic to paperwork Sounds like a really good price though.

I've never seen a T3 up close, but the suspension looks to be better. Also, the rear axle is the Honda eccentric type, which I believe to be higher quality.
If the choice was available when I bought our Beast, I would have taken the T3.

I'm sure you guys have seen the video posted by the new, Gio T3 owner. It looks like a very nice ATV.
