As a manufacturer that frequently visits China, the biggest issue on all current Chinese sports bikes are the designer/engineers have zero racing background. But CFmoto had currently hired several Japanese pro racers and hopefully we'll see something amazing in the near future at a fraction of the price versus the Japanese and European sports bikes.

You must have never ridden a bike with drum brakes, it’s absolutely horrible. You grab all the front you can and stomp the rear, and you slow down gradually. Full braking it takes about 6 seconds to stop from 30mph

[@CZ350tuner]

@@love2fight205 Only British & Japanese drum brakes are bad. A European made Twin leading Shoe drum brake will lock up a front wheel at 70 MPH, especially with modern ceramic & sintered brake shoes. The problem with drum brakes is that they need to be set up, by an expert, to work effectively, not by some amateur Kevin with no clue what he's doing.

[@loneencom2087]

there are a lot of Chinese bike in my country. bone stock they are really underpowered, usually the 250s are really just a 220/225cc engines and they just say its a 250 for advertisement and they also put a smaller carburetor, injector, ignition coil, CDI to pass emissions and for cost cutting, doing that it also lowers the hp so to counter that they put a lower ratio sprocket. if you want it to perform somewhat decent. upgrade those and you dont even need to use the expense stuff.

I got a Chinese bike as my first bike this year. Ven x22gt 250cc. Now if I was a rich dude who had access to unlimited bikes, and my goal was to ride down the twisty roads at 90mph, win races, or go on a cross country tour... I guess I would say the bike "sucks." Riding around the city or taking 30 mile trips down the quiet state routes at a speed limit of 55 to your favorite waterfall or hiking spot... The bike does it's job and is fun to ride. Plenty of people, including myself get these bikes, have a great time with it, and don't have to spend a fortune on a big brand name bike to get in two wheels and feel the wind.

[@mostlyjovial6177]

(I’m aware I’m late) Man… I just. That thing is a death trap. You could have taken the money spent on it and bought an older Japanese bulletproof (good) bike instead. That’s why I hate these things. They’re insidious. I hope you get the chance to upgrade before the worst comes.

[@cowboybeebop3451]

The Amazon bikes are perfect for a new rider. They are way more forgiving on the throttle. Dont go overly fast Light Perfect for a beginner esp if you throw in the fact you are basically the dealer so you learn how to fix them on a simple engine. I grew up on worse starting out I would of much preffered an amazon bike to the bike i learned on, we pulled an abanded trail bike out of the mud it was up the top of the handle bars. We got it running and used vice grips for a.shifter

[@holdingsteadfast]

These Chinese bikes have breaks that are legitimately dangerous. When you squeeze it doesn't bite, but when you squeeze hard all the bite engages and you slide the front immediately. Its an on and off switch, a real death trap.

[@lexeo007]

Haha when Brandon called Yammie a twat was to good..

[@ajaxsid9034]

Fun in a very terrifying way. Pretty much sums up Boom.

[@tpelle2]

In all fairness, I wish to point out that you were matching a bike with a 229cc (or thereabouts) engine derived from a Honda engine from the 1980s, an engine originally designed to be used on bikes sold in third-world markets, with a "modern" 390cc engine intended for sport bike use. Not exactly a fair comparison. On the other hand, regarding the brakes, perhaps the "BOOM" logo on the tank is prophetical as to what happens immediately after applying those brakes.

[@ccrowder2155]

the commentary from this guy was to die for lol

It helps to gentle press the brakes (both) as needed, and cont8nue the throttle as the steady speed for the curve. I love my scooter 😌
