SSR / Pioneer XF250

[MJH]

If your commuting into the city daily a 250 would be less then ideal, seems you had a good bike for that already, with the Kawasaki , maybe a CB500F their 4,650, that or the KTM DUKE 390, the twin Honda would be better.


You could consider the WK 650i they are 4200.00, but with it being priced so close to the Honda it hardly seems worth buying the off brand, but it is a Chinese version of your old bike.

I suspect it should do 70mph but overtaking will be an issue

Had a ride on it and it doesn't do too badly. It'll get up to 60mph with quite quick acceleration but beyond that is a little bit slower. Got it up to just under 90mph on gps :D

BTW it's lots more torque than the 125cc! One thing I have noticed is that it sits a bit lower than the 125 due to the extra weight I presume. Does the SSR have the same problem?

Could be the seat... there are two different seats for these bikes, I have both for my QM250 and there's about 1.5 inch difference between them.

Could also be a lack of air in the rear shock, I've had a couple QM200's and QM250's and they don't hold air in the rear shocks very well.

Are you sure about that?I never seen any endro/dual sport with air shocks.I am about 90% sure the shocks are hydraulic.Some after market shocks are charged with nitrogen to help them cool and stop the oil from foaming.

The air is there, its represented like a spring , the adjustable shocks change the spring rate by adding or removing air. The nitrogen is used to keep moisture out as the atoms of nitrogen do not bond like oxygen to hydrogen, so they do not form water. The foaming would be the result of introducing water to the hydraulic fluid also called oil. There is a set amount of air in the shock from the factory, loss of air would be the same as a shorter spring. The rate of air loss might be related to the range of movement as in how aggressive you ride and the range of movement put on the shock. Seems it would loose it all if it leaked, but that may be a leak that only occurs at a certain load?

You can see the air filler bottom left.

I'm not sure if this shock was designed for nitrogen or regular air... given the fact that they only stay pressurised for a couple weeks, I wouldn't want to be paying for Nitrogen every time it gets low.

What is interesting about that bike is that it would be the first totally new design generated by CCW’s founder Scott Colosimo. You can see his work in Sinnis dealers as well, he brought the Sinnis 125cc classic style bikes to the market. They are selling for 1800 GBP, a bit pricey eh?


I have a suggestion, that trellis framed super moto could be sold through Pulse and it could be priced between 2000 and 3000GBP.

I'm not entirely sure whether I'm a fan... It might be the swingarm

[ben2go]

I'm not diggin the swing arm either.

Hi Frozuki

"Got it up to just under 90mph on gps :D"

Are we talking about the Pulse Adrenaline 250 here?
