I test rode a 250 version of the MX model , did some pretty good jumps on it and I think this 250 will kill all the bikes it is aimed at,CRF230,TTR230 , it is a very impressive bike with nice features. A step above the play bikes and a step below all out race bikes(looks tricker though)

I also ran the Motard version wide open on a Chinese hiway it ran about 10km faster top speed than the enduro version.
I personally would recommend anyone buy all that Gary gets as you get alot of bike for the money!!!the fit finsih and attention to detail is very good.

we need pics of the 250 ASAP! hows the pricing vs. the japanese trail bikes?

Pitviking · 12-12-2008, 10:37 PM

Will you have 14/17 rollers on the 12th? Or one with a 150 engine in it( for racing the 85 class ) My kid is driving me nuts!

The Chasis is looking good but some things (all the plastics) need to be sized up a bit. Especially that gas tank...Its too short.

Yep

Now you've done it I gotta have one, although I'm concerned about the front tire coming into contact with the head when bottomed out.

Matified · 01-05-2009, 09:52 PM

Better get your order in these things are going to go fast!! also, no contact with the head .

In stock TODAY!!! the XTR 250 Motard or Enduro are $3195 shipped!!

boonacka · 01-06-2009, 07:44 AM

that price range is pretty good for the competition its aimed for. I'd like to see more reviews of this bike before making any decisions.

Pitviking · 01-20-2009, 03:58 AM

So the travel on the LXR14 is 8.5 front and 10.6 rear? The web site has a few variations to it.Any more info on those other forks you are playing with?

Pitviking · 03-07-2009, 02:01 AM

Anybody racing this bike in the 85 class?

My daughter will be racing one in the 85 12-15 class as well as the womens class here on our circuit this year. She will be running a 150 engine.

Pitviking · 03-07-2009, 10:42 AM

Right on! Keep us posted on how she does and how the bike works. Thank's

We will do that. If things go right, She might ride/race it at Havasu. I will post a pic or two after.

Pitviking · 03-07-2009, 11:00 AM

What 150 engine are you using and have you done anything to it?

Matified · 03-07-2009, 11:19 AM

He used the build a bike option and we put the Lifan 150 in it along with custom pink graphics. looks sweet!! I will try and get some pics too.

Wow. I wish those NCC 17/14 X4Xs that I waited 6 months to have "custom made" came with longer swing arms and frames. Too bad I ended up stuck with two "custom" bikes that bottom their front tires out on the engine at only 6" of fork travel... And have only 1/8" of non adjustable rear tire clearance. Too bad that every time I see a real 17/14 bike I am filed with rage because it was what I expected to get over a year ago. And its really too bad that despite all of the unfulfilled promises to make it right I continue to be civil to this "custom builder".

These bikes are awesome! They are exactly what I was looking for. I'll order two as soon as I'm able to unload my two bunk X4Xs off on some unsuspecting kid.

Is the Lifan motor easier to kick over then the YX? Pink graphic's would look good!
