X-PRO Roadster 250 EFI Fuel Injection 6 Speed Manual 250cc Dirt Bike Motorcycle Bike Street Bike Motorcycle Assembled in Crate (Blue)

It has been quite a while since I have rode a motorcycle. I was looking for something entry level, that was affordable, reliable, and got good gas mileage. Before purchasing this bike, I read a lot of reviews and shopped around. Ultimately, I felt the good outweighed the bad and went for it. 400 "miles" into riding and I still feel ok with my decision, but lets break it down:Pros -1. The bike looks awesome, just like the pics. It was larger than I imagined it to be, but I am still able to put my feet on the ground at stoplights. (I am 5'10" for reference).2. Gas Mileage! Need I say more?3. The delivery was quick and smooth. Assembly was so easy, even I could do it all by myself.4. Measuring in dollars/cc, this bike was the best deal around5. Was easy to get registered in my state.Cons -1. Its a quirky machine - the speedometer is way off - like 10+ mph under what all the local speed traps are telling me. Plus if I drive the speed limit according to the bike, people are constantly going around as if I were standing still. I am planning to take it on a test drive with someone who can confirm my suspicions. I will update this review after completion.2. Reviewers were saying it stalls out - I can verify this is 100% correct. The stalling typically happens as I am about to take off from a stop and I give the throttle only a slight twist - It's as if there is an engine cutoff for about the first 1/16th of the throttle twist. I often find myself giving it a couple of good jolts on the throttle before releasing the clutch to ensure this does not happen, but even that does not always do the trick. The symptom is definitely worse at the beginning of the ride.3. The paperwork that comes with the bike says to immediately change the oil and then ride it under 35 mph for 500 miles. I don't know where you live, but riding under 35 mph for 500 miles is challenging in my city. Am I supposed to ride it around my residential neighborhood for 500 miles? Most streets outside of the residences are 40+ mph. Furthermore, is it "35 mph" per the speedometer (which is more like 25 mph in real life) or is it the real 35 mph (which is more like "47 mph" per the speedometer)?Because of these issues, I am currently giving the bike a 4 star. I can live with these quirks if the bike turns out to be reliable, because honestly, it has great mpg, it is fun to ride, and it's fantastic to look at.

The media could not be loaded.  I've done the first 100 miles, so far so good.I hope this little girl continues like this.I've already done 1200 miles, so far so great. I corrected the speedometer problem by adding an external caliper.

This thing is sick. Like seriously. This is a nice bike. Watching reviews of these online you can tell that manufacturer is very serious about getting better with each model. I am blown away by how awesome this thing is. When putting in bolts for your windscreen and handles, probably don’t go to crazy with the torque. It would be great to get that actual torque spec on these, I’m sure they have it.The owners manual is pretty comprehensive. I mean, they’ve got part numbers and do it yourself diagrams. The Certificate of Origin and Bill of Sale (which correctly showed taxes paid) came in the mail the same exact day the bike was delivered. These guys are fast.Freight handling was pretty exceptional in my opinion. Everyone was extremely friendly, even the poor guy who answered the phone after hours and pointed me in the right direction.Rides great in my opinion but I kept it below 35 because I intend to follow the 500 mile break in period.I’ll update this review after we see how easy it is to register the bike in Texas.Update 1:Getting plates was very easy. I got it done the day after I got the bike. In my case, I called my insurance with the VIN and manufacturer and was given liability insurance. I then called a few vehicle inspection places to see if they do motorcycle inspections and got that done in about 20 minutes (I’m not 100% sure this step was necessary). Lastly, I went to the DMV with a partially filled out u-130 form (Texas), the Bill of Sale, the certificate of origin, and all the related documents I could think of and paid the taxes. Bam, plates.A note about taxes: I’m still looking into this but when you purchase this bike, you are charged sales tax. Even with the Purchase Order and Bill of Sale showing taxes paid, I was told those funds did not go to the Department of Transportation. Today I’ll be calling the Comptroller to see if anything can be done about this but be prepared to pay taxes when you get it registered.Update 2:1000 miles inStill in love with the bike. Do watch for bolts backing out due to vibration (in my case around the grips and switches). Use threadloc when you identify them. I’m 5’9” and 215, this bike fits me well and handles great. I read another review that seemed to indicate otherwise. Bike is holding strong and it’s been ridden nearly everyday, rain or shine, since I wrote this review. One issue however, the speedometer is very inaccurate. Either get a gps speedometer for your bike or use your phone. I’m a stocky guy and the bike tops out at around 75mph. I personally feel very uncomfortable pushing it into those rpm’s and generally try not to exceed 65mph. To each his own but I didn’t exactly purchase this bike for its horsepower or top speed.Update 3:2000 miles in. Had a minor freak out awhile ago when the oil light came on. Normally that would mean I've got a pretty serious problem but I could see that the oil was flowing normally. Did a lot of research and saw that some of these bikes may have a low oil level lamp instead. Thought maybe that was it? Nope. Changed the oil. Nope. Thoroughly concerned, I went to the front of the bike and on a whim pushed both the buttons on the gauge cluster. Code cleared. Hasn't been back for 600 miles and the bike runs like a champ. So I guess it's a change oil reminder? Who knows? Other than that, don't forget to check your chain tightness and watch your brake fluid. If it doesn't fall apart at 60 mph I'll try to be back for 3000 mile update. Love this thing.Update 4:3000 miles in. Still going strong. Just keep up with the regular maintenance and take care of it. It’s my sole vehicle. For anyone curious it’s mostly a Kawasaki ninja clone. I’ll also tell you that removing decals from the bike is difficult because they have been clear coated. I recently swapped out the front sprocket for a 14 tooth which has REALLY smoothed out the bike. Mine came with a 13 tooth front which is great for acceleration but first gear runs out so fast that you’ll end up just using second. The sprocket swap can be done without replacing the chain from what can tell. Used a bike jack and a basic tool set. The sprocket case cover had to be trimmed out ever so slightly. Alternatively, just replace the rear sprocket but you’ll probably need a new chain. At 3000 miles with the factory chain, I can tell it’s time to replace it.

I really like this bike! I’ve had a lot of fun riding it. I haven’t had to do much of anything to put it together or register it in my state ( New Jersey) . Registering it was quite easy. As others have said, the paperwork came a day or two later. Glad I bought it. Hadn’t rode a motorcycle since 1982, has been a great time.

This thing thus far is a screamer! From hitting the "buy now" button to on the road roaring....3 days. Handles and performs very well. Most people thinks it's an R6. It loves oil changes and octane booster.Approaching 2k miles and nothing but good things to say. Top speeds upper 80's. Gets to and holds 70mph without fail. Averaging 75mpg.

Ninja 300 about

It broke down while riding in the middle of the road, very dangerous. I would not recommend riding this on the street. My bike is now abandoned at the bottom of the hill. I believe it is an electrical failure. The fuel pump no longer engages before ignition. The engine turns but doesn't start. I didn't even get 150 miles out of it. You may as well pay extra for a road worthy bike to save yourself the troubles.Edit: I found the root cause of the problem. The ignition coil exploded. The bike is dead and has been sitting rusting for 1 month now.
