It should have a dry weight under 290 lbs, they should tune one up and offer it to the press to compare against the KLX250SF and WR250X…if they plan on asking over $3,200.00 for them, which they likely will. It will need a favorable review by industry journalists.

They can tune one up and offer it to the press, then disclose that the actual model sold may be slightly different. Then sell the standard and offer upgrades for racing, fairly sure there is a performance cam and carburetor upgrade for the NX250 engine, that being above the standard Chinese set up of it.

Since CCW has offered three different renderings of the Hooligun, nobody would be surprised if they never get it to the market?

I have not really checked the weight of the engine, so I cannot be sure if it is inherently heavy? It may be too heavy to be compared to the Kawasaki and Yamaha, I simply do not know, but I do know that if they plan on offering one of the most expensive Chinese motorcycles they better actually have something competitive to that of the existing Japanese offerings.

I would also suggest that they actually compare test and develop the bikes to compete against the Japanese’s models, they should set up a flattering review by actually developing a balanced well made model.
