09-28-2016, 12:04 AMHi All,
Recently I bought a bike called an "SSR SR205S", also known as the Asiawing NC250. So far, it's been a great bike. I know that it's a rough copy of the Honda CRF250X, and it's known by many other names in countries where other importers exist.
If you have one of these bikes and are looking for information about it, I've started a page:
http://farqual.gooseyard.com/ssr250s/
where I hope to accumulate information about parts a procedures for working on the NC250 and its derivatives. If you have one, please take a look and send me any information you have!

Welcome and thanks for the link--you have a lot of information there! I am not sure if you are familiar with chinariders.net, but that site has many more North American members, so I am guessing you might find a fellow owner (have not recalled anyone mentioning buying one, however) or people interested in the bike. There are quite a few RX3 members, so you will have the engine to compare (I know, the US RX is 6 speed and fuel injected, but a few overseas RX3 members with carbed RX3s have joined us).

09-28-2016, 12:52 PMI am! Actually I think I learned about chinariders.net from another post here, the two of them together have been a really great resource. I think the best part about your forum is that it's easy in the US to only read about the big four and the various european makers, it's kind of overwhelming to discover how many manufacturers exist in China with bikes I've never seen before, and it's been a lot of fun to study the relationships between the companies. It makes me want to learn to read a bit of Chinese writing!
Thanks for the kind welcome, and I'm excited to be following the site!

I don't take credit for chinariders, but I am probably among the members with the longest time as a member. Here, possibly, too. I remember when 'Crazy Carl' started this site when he was living and working at a university in Chengdu. That is when many ex-pats from various countries who had moved to China joined up. That was also the time of 'free love, peace, etc'--no, just kidding, but it was the mid-2000s, and one could fly to China, buy a cheap enduro, brand new, strap on a bunch of luggage, and tour China. All you needed was a Chinese citizen who would register the bike in their name. Well, this went on, as well as many ex-pats into motorsports buying bikes to ride around and joining and posting here. Then, the fun was gone--one needed a license (one always did, but for foreigners, it seemed the cops didn't care), and many cities banned bikes, and foreigners without licenses were getting arrested and sent to jail and then deported if they were caught riding. I remember one guy with a Chang Jiang sidecar videoing himself sitting in the sidecar while a cop rode him to jail, narrating the whole time. I do remember him mentioning in the description getting thrown out of China. Many China-based members have gone on and become legally licensed and own bikes in their own names (not sure if that is possible) or at least their Chinese spouses' names.
Carl is now the editor and publisher of ADVMoto (and had moved back several years ago to the US, in Virginia), and this site still attracts quite a few international members with China bikes, while Chinariders attracts many North Americans (Canadians and US residents) as well as a sprinkling of international members.

But like most things in China all the boxs must be ticked ?
P.s. The fun is still there but you just need to be legel and so you should you could not ride in the USA and expect all will be fine?Last edited by prince666; 09-29-2016 at 07:10 AM.
