Ultra light dual sport motorcycle, X Pro Storm 150 DLX Pit Bike

I have been looking at these (Cheap / Affordable)Amazon pit bikes, there’s many different brands Tao Tao, Apollo, Trailmaster. I bought this mini adventure dual sport bike, it’s the X Pro Storm 150cc DLX. Because they are Amazon bikes I was really apprehensive to order one.
So I finally took the plunge to see what the build quality really looked like in person? How did the bikes feel like to ride? There really wasn’t many videos on them and no one actually talks about the true size If these bikes. This video I wanted to talk about where I bought the bike from, what comes in the shipping crate and what paperwork comes with it.
I cover how to put it together and some extra tips along the way. Then i go through the process of getting the bike inspected at a Moto shop so i can make a (off road dirt bike) into a dual sport. I plan on testing this bike out and putting it thought it’ll paces to see how well a 150cc $1150 dual sport can hold up. Stay tuned for many more updates.

Not bad....but my DT50 was faster and all over better back in 1982

[@Mikefestiva]

Sure and I bet the brakes and suspension was Way better too right 😂 good old memories sometimes get the best of us.

[@dionoliveira4058]

@@Mikefestivaagreed but it was a 50cc over 42 years ago and I would often ride at 55 to 58 mph and the suspension was not too bad for a little "dualsport" I never broke it.

[@TheGrobe]

@@dionoliveira4058 42 Years ago they only had a fraction of the emissions restrictions to meet. Plus 2-stroke power. Plus I don't know what you paid then, but today's equivalent new yz65 is $5,000. So for 5 times the price, I would hope that little 65cc could do 60mph and dust the Storm 150 in a race! Or I could spend that 5k on 4 dirt bikes, 2 of the 150cc and get a couple bigger ones, plus engine upgrades and have toys for everyone to all play together.

[@richsharp1524]

Finally. Mike is back in Da house. I was just telling Tammy. I have so missed your videos man. Great to have ya back !!!!😊

[@user-neo71665]

I have a couple of Chinese toys. I'd highly suggest while putting it together to measure the wheel bearings and order good ones. Get your miles out of the factory ones but they will go out in the first year.

[@doughboy1966]

I am 5’7 with a 30 inch inseam leg length and I have been looking for a dual sport motorcycle in that price range for a long time. I like that it has both kick and electric start. I’m going to follow along on your upcoming videos of this motorcycle because you have my interest on high on this one.

[@charlesdonawayiii3396]

Also look into the Orion RXB 190L, they also have a super moto version of it with 14 inch Bridgestone street tires. This DLX is cheaper though!

[@zachzuchowicz4842]

Check out the XR150L, I’m the same height and inseam and it’s perfect for me!

[@user-kt1bv3kx4f]

I'm a seamstress, depending on which way you dress this bike should fit

Your exactly my height too..this video was helpful

[@mykeva1]

I have a 32” inseam. And my feet are actually one foot, one inch. So it’s a little confusing. They’re not a foot, but they aren’t two feet.

[@Swamp-Fox]

Cool little bike! Especially for the price. Looking forward to the future updates!

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video! The bike continues to surprise me. I will have a trail ride update video coming soon 😊👍

[@zeelastman]

I just got my first dual sport last spring and I love it, best buy I have ever made.

[@Mikefestiva]

A dual sport is a great way to go, one bike that covers all the bases 👍 I have put over 60k over the years on dual sports 😊

[@davidoliver2826]

And look, it comes with some useful steel for projects later!😅. It’s good that you show the little things to look for and do, like greasing and quality insights. . Thanks Mike for sharing, I’m definitely consider this just to scoot around my property. Loving the blue!

Great video my friend! I’ve got about 8 hours of runtime on both of our 125s and I am quite impressed as well. The Xpro X17 with the fully automatic transmission is noteworthy for sure. Much more capable than I expected and is a perfect starter bike for my wife! I look forward to more video reviews!

[@RARufus]

I have the Hawk 150 and it’s a well made machine. Sure a number of parts are cast aluminum and not forged or billet, but they’re also beefier to make up for it. I’ve had mine for a couple years now and love it. It’s even taken a couple lay downs well with no issues. I had no issues getting the OHM registration from our DMV and was all good!

[@trevorscheiffele7184]

Ordered one of these for my wife to learn on, she's in the shorter side of 5'3 hopefully it works out well. I also ordered the hawk250 for myself at the same time, we are super excited to go out riding and cannot wait for them to get here. Subscribed and waiting for more content. I love how detail oriented you were in the video thank you.

Mike, Good concise video. I've worked on friends chinabikes for them. The valve train components are poor. The cylinders can't seem to seat rings into them. I just can't see putting up with the issues. I know why you got one though. I'll follow your build up, I know it'll be cool. Good job! PS I just got my predator engine mounted on my 1980 XR200 yesterday. I'll finish it today. It will be good to teach my grandkids to ride on. Thanks for your channel.

Man that’s fantastic to hear, I was hoping these bikes would turn out to be good but you never really know till you get some miles in on them.

[@paulwatts905]

Totally agree re. chinese bikes, i,ve had a few with no problems. Seems to me most of the people moaning about bad quality are the ones who do not check their machines regularly and can usually be heard to say that they will top up the oil or adjust something another day. Thanks for sharing Paul (UK)

[@JoelVanWeelden]

I emailed xpro and got them to change the mco and the bill of sale to say duel purpose. I didn't have to have it inspected and I showed them that I already paid tax. I got it titled and registered no problem

[@Mikefestiva]

I sent them the exact same email asking to change it and I got an email sent back that was something like “thanks for emailing us we sent your MSO out, you should receive it soon.” They never addressed my question if they could please make sure my MSO said dual purpose or motorcycle. I think it comes down to the person actually reading your email and caring enough to help, sounds like you got something that actually was willing to do it. Thanks for commenting 👍 I will pass this info on to others.

One day might have to get one soon myself after watching this

[@Checkyoursix77]

Look like fun! Have bad history with Chinese bikes but the quality is better nowadays. Best of luck!

[@BarnStangz]

Lot of fun for the price! I had an older 110 (or maybe it was a 107, can't remember) back in the day and man, the engine and trans was GOOD on it, just oil changes! Overall build quality back then wasn't the best, but man did I have fun on that thing and it received quite a bit of abuse! 😆 These bikes are perfect to introducing people to the sport of riding and just having fun, best part is, you didn't spend a lot to buy in. There is nothing worse than dropping $5-8k on a bike big only for it to collect dust. Glad you're having fun out there Mike, looking forward to the other videos and hope you had a nice Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@Mikefestiva]

Right on! Yes I have seen the build quality come up on these bikes over the years, compared to the scooter I had and a crap quad my friend gave me. These bikes definitely seem much better then the other stuff. Thanks for checking out my new video! Happy New Years 😊👍

[@Nele_BiH]

In terms of parts you can litterrally make your own 50,125 or 250 cc bike just by buying parts i was shocked yesterday when i tried to make list of parts needed to make 50 cc moped.Only thing i needed to make is basic frame and few brackets everything else is avaible to buy.Stuff like whells with brakes,front suspension,back arms,engines,electronics,ligths,seats,switches it is mental.

[@BigBlueMotors]

Nice compared to the older bikes. I bought a 200cc dual sport about 15 years ago for like $800.00 out the door from a dealer in Southern California. Company went out of business a few years later because the bikes didn't pass emissions - the initial emissions certificate was rescinded by the State of California. I was permitted to continue to register the bike. Sold the bike a few years later for $1100.00.

To be fair, some of the Chineseium that I've seen recently, Kove 450 Rally, have a lot of things like those foot pegs that you mentioned. They didn't have to make it that nice, but they did. The Kove 450 Rally covered in a ton of little touches where they definitely made it nicer than they had to especially considering the $$. Fun vid!

New subscriber here. I’ve been sitting on the fence on this very bike for the last 3 weeks, so I really appreciate you putting the review together. Had a couple of dual sports (KLX250s, XT225) I sold last year because I rarely road them. Now kind of regret it, especially the XT225.

​@@Mikefestivaive owned several of these hawk Apollo Honda clone bikes they have been great bikes I did some research before I ever started the engine and the oil they send with the bikes is break in oil you only run it for s couple hours it will tell you in the owners manual how long to run the break in oil then put the specified oil in the bike and after that never had an issue with the bikes.Now I have known a few people who ran the bikes really hard with the break in oil and never changed it and after 3 months of riding every day for a couple hours locked the engine up, lucky the motors are fairly cheap compared to name brand engines great video Mike keep up the awesome work.

[@TheGrobe]

If you ask XR nicely, when you order, they will send you a new MCO that says motorcycle. That way you don’t have to go get an inspection. They sent mine out before I even got my bike so that I could go get my plates and be ready to ride. I’ve been extremely impressed with the company so far. If the bike is half, I will be very happy.

[@Mikefestiva]

They are good about getting replacement parts, but I called and emailed them about the MCO and I didn’t have the same experience, they send me a vague email that wasn’t very helpful. But that’s great you had a better experience with them. All and all both bikes I ordered from them turned out to be great 👍 time will tell but I think they will hold up for a long time.

Idk if you are aware but in regards to the point about the company sourcing certain parts from other manufacturers for the bike is definitely not uncommon infact. Not sure if you know but this but all of these different bikes that are lesser known and there is a lot of companies really for the most part offer the same thing. Aside from others like pitster pro, SSR, and a few others they are all essentially the same. The companies that I mentioned were in the same place but as they gained their credit they invested in the quality aspect and got better.

Merry Christmas Mike! Congratulations on the new bike, nothing like that feeling you get with a new machine. I believe the main reasons those bikes are listed as off road use only are to avoid emissions, and the plastic fuel tank. Street legal bikes are required to have steel tanks in the US. Brrraaaaap!

Thanks for checking out my new video 😊 I think you are right about that 👍 I should have a trail test video coming out in about a week.

Damn one of these sounds so tempting at only $1000 and being plated easily also

Awesome video man, cant wait for the video on the 250cc! Did you get the x, m, or the regular templar?

[@Mikefestiva]

I ordered the regular model Templar because it had the lowest seat height and was the lightest model, so far I’m really pleased with the bike. There’s a few things I’m going to upgrade but right out of the crate it’s a great trail bike 👍 turns out the seat height is perfect for me, it’s actually about the same seat height of the 150. If you’re over 5’10” and over 180LBS I would think the X model with the adjustable suspension would probably be best.

[@mrslam49]

Right on brother. I'm 5'7", wish they offered the adjustable suspension and the 6 speed at the lower height! I guess there's always give and take. Thanks for all the videos!

@@mrslam49 I should have the first video on the Templar 250 out in two weeks, I talk about the X model as well, honestly after sitting on my 250 out of the crate I think the 1.5” higher the X is I do think we could make it fit us with a few simple mods. I’m 5’7” as well. I think sliding the forks up in the clamps a little bit would help lower the front and backing off the spring preloaded in the rear or some people are drilling a second hole in the lower aluminum rear shock and it lowers the rear up to 2” depending on where you drill the second hole. If these videos do well I may take a gamble on the X later this year and review it side by side with the regular model because there’s actually many differences between the bikes. I hope this info helps.

Look at the dnm or fast ace rear shocks give u a fully adjustable piggyback shock and volt and other manufacturers make fully adjustable forks I've seen people put a ktm sx85 forks and rear shocks too

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for the suggestion! I definitely will look into that 😊👍
