Baja X250 VS. GIO X31
Hello i was just wondering which dirt bike is better, in general i know that the Baja x250 looks very similar to the GIO x31. but i know that the new 2010 model of the GIO has an OHC engine (over head cam). the Baja is still the standard engine. i was wondering which one has better shocks and is just an over all bike. the GIO x31 costs around 1250 where i live and i am thinking of getting on after i sell my rm 80. so please reply leaving a comment on which bike you own and which one you would think is better!
Thanks -Pimpinpenz |

One thing. Are you in Canada? Gio only sells bikes to Canada.

Do you have Pep Boys in Ontario? We don't in BC.

I think you'd have a tough time bringing that into Canada, anyway.
What city are you in? |

Ok. I was wondering from the start of this thread. Would the Pep Boys be able to get one from another store?

You can bring a dirt bike into Canada with the proper title. The US border service needs 48 hours to check the documentation, and then it's yours. I can easily cross the border here and buy a used dirt bike.

I looked it up. You are correct.
When I imported a restricted use bike before, there were some limitations. It looks like that's no longer the case. |
