I was clicking around and was looking at one of the sponsor links and found a 250RTC?

I noticed the number was a local number, they supposedly got a show room.

Think I’m going to check them out, see what they are all about.

They are priced at $2,100 USD, for a 250! A bike cheaper than my CBR, I got to see what this is all about…

I guess it is a scooter that looks like a real bike. For me, it wouldn't be fast enough to ride on an Interstate, but otherwise might be ok, especially for under $2000.

The website is a scooter site. It looks cool, but I imagine you get what you pay for too. Who even makes the scooter?

Very cool!

i though it looked cool too! that too bad "EPA approved and street legal in all states Exclude CA & NJ."

I was looking at this before I got the CBR. I think its Chinese, which means stay away from.

 

[BKP]

Same company, $1899, and standard ABS!

Someone is looking to buy into the market...

I have seen a couple of those bikes or similar bikes on craigslist... at least 3 with less than 1000 miles which needed total overhauls to get road worthy again

Stay away from chinese motorcycles and scooters! Learn from my experience, they are pos bikes. I had a chinese scooter and had nothing but problems.
No mechanic will work on it and there is no service manual for them.

They're probably painted in lead based paint if they hold true to pretty much everything else coming in from china.
Not sure about the scooters and stuff but a buddy in FL bought one of the dirt cheap chinese atv's for his son and that thing took one massive beating and ran like a champ! I think they'd be ok maybe for in town or mild recreational use but for my 70 mile commute I'll stick with my honda!
