      A KTM 250 and a chinese 250 are not even in the same league. ANY of the big 6 manufacturers (KTM, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha) make dirt bikes that are far superior to any chinese brand motorcycle. The chinese bikes cost 1/10 of the price of a real bike for a reason, they are not even comparable in quality or performance. Go to any local motocross track and you’ll see lots of KTMs, they are one of the most popular dirt bikes right now, and you will see zero china bikes on the track. I would know, motocross tracks are where I spend most of my weekends and in the 10+ years I’ve been doing it, I’ve never even seen 1 chinese bike on track, they’re seriously that bad. I occasionally see one in the pits used as a pit bike, but even as pit bikes they are heavily outnumbered by the big 6. My friend recently bought 2 chinese 250s brand new from amazon and they both suffered serious failures in the first 10hrs of use. I have quite a bit of motorcycle experience, mostly with dirt bikes, and my advice is to steer clear of any chinese made motorcycles, even as a first bike or pit bike, they are more trouble than they’re worth, just buy a name brand used bike instead, it’s a much smarter move in the long run.

    I had a 2005 TaoTao 125 and they have come a long way. We still had a lot of fun on that thing and we sold it for more than we bought it for. Just a couple of the parts we replaced on the TaoTao would have been over a grand on a Japanese bike. We spent maybe 50 bucks on parts over the 7 years of riding it. It was a lot of fun. The new ones are substantially better too. Just don't think you can keep up with a Japanese bike, because you won't. Not made for competing with a Japanese bike, made for fun and getting your feet wet in riding bikes.

      It started up in a few kicks but the first few I accidentally left the kill switch on and it didn't start obviously.
      I took it off roading and the stator sensor thing got knocked out and it broke so I had to replace the stator unit which was moderately difficult.
      But it is very loud, especially for a neighborhood.

    They are copies of the Honda's small 4 stroke engine. They put these engines on a lot of bikes. You can use honda parts on these engines and hop them up pretty good. I had a Grom clone and it was faster then an original grom. I put a 20 Amazon dollar carb with a 30 muffler and I was walking Legit Honda Groms for less then half the price they paid. I put 2500 HARD miles on it and it never skipped a beat. I ended up trading it for a gsxr 750

      If it is a copy then there will be unlimited tuning potential..at least from where i come from. Best part is..its super cheap to tune up.

    Glad you changed the "break in oil" (it's usually low combustion shipping oil), but you need to do more than that before riding on of these Chinese crate bikes.
