They do not even know…..unless somebody at Pioneer or SSR read this thread.
They may have also contacted the EPA and asked why aren't our models on your list?

I would put the chances of them reading this thread at approximately zero percent. i would love to be proved wrong.

cheers

I doubt many people have read this thread, a Google search on SRR XF250 generates some links and this one thread only comes up on the second page….right after the Intersol Rand XP250 air compressor.

The majority of the links on Google are for bikes being sold out of one brick and motor dealer in Jersey.

Here is one that is on craiglist and has real cool little embedded map, with a peace sign as a location marker.

That's the same dealer as the NJ one, but different address, I think. Same name, at least.

I really like the Qlink XF 200 due to the motard wheels and tires over the Qlink XP model's dual sport wheels (21"/18") But this bike looks better to me with the 17" knobbies than their own motard version.

[MJH]

I agree and the price of a pair of 17" wheels and a short front fender is about $500.00 USD, delivered. Half that is freight.
From CMPO out of the UK, that does not include the tubes,tires and mounting.

I priced them and they would be black with chrome spokes, they would change the look of my bike.

[culcune]

In my opinion, you would change the look for the better (I don't think your bike is ugly), but for that price?!

I know that my TMEC had options for 17" knobbies, and the distributor, Excalibur, could sell me some. Is there an advantage to 17" knobbies f/r over 21"/18" f/r?

[MJH]

The pair of forks would be an additional 250.00 pounds plus the cost of freight, they do have them and in black as well as a solid black seat. All of the above would take some of the gangly and gaudy off the XP200. All pretty easy except the prices.


It is such a shame that there is not the same level of interest in America as in Britain, there is no CMPO in the States. The Pulse 125 parts are all a quick and easy find on that website all should be interchangeable with the SSR/Pioneer.

There is also no CMS in America, I would not mind having access to both without the freight charges. They are useful though for small things that do not weigh that much. I pay the extra freight just to avoid having to deal with anyone that only speaks Chinese.

Fianlly got my SSR XF250 assembled this weekend:

[MJH]

It looks very good.
did you get it without decals or did you take them off?
Do you also have some BMW’s
I am looking at your image gallery.

It looks very good.

Thanks! So far, it seems to be a pretty amazing bike. It drops into corners like a dream, and the engine has more torque than what I initially expected. It's not 100% perfect however - It's a bit buzzy (less so than the XF200 I rode) and the holes on the license plate bracket don't quite match up with the Pennsylvania plate.

I proactively ordered a different pinion and sprocket for it, but I think those are going to be shelved for the time being. I'm actively looking into a rear rack and different pegs. More soon...
