Ha ha yeah I guess so, the pay sucks though! Yeah they really are good bikes. They are reliable, and are just great bikes all around, plus they offer different options like 2 stroke, 4 stroke, air cooled, liquid cooled etc which is cool. They back up their product too. I wouldn’t have bought a third one if I didn’t like them or the company didn’t have good customer service.

EXCELLENT video!! I sold a 2017 YZ450FX and a 2014 RMZ450 to buy my 2021.5 FSE300R and FSE250E. I've never looked back. I'm thoroughly impressed with both bikes. The 300R is a tractor! The 250E isn't far behind it. That little air cooled engine has the torque to lift the front tire easily. I'm hoping GPX will make a two stroke 300 next year, but I'm planning on buying a TSE either way. BTW, I've asked Santa for Hero 9 Black. I'll probably have a bunch of questions for you.

As I said they are old bikes so the new ones may be very different given they are trying to compete with Japanese and nipper the heels of KTM and Husky. The other reason I'm sceptical use it's a very professional and positive review, it's more like an advertisment not a review. Reviews list the pros and cons.

I bought the FSE 300 2021.5 so far it's a really solid bike. I only have 3 hours though. It runs a little lean but the Delphi EFI systems need to learn. Also some are say putting in the exhaust insert will richen the bike. Can any owner confirm this. The bike has an oxygen sensor so change exhaust flow characteristic could possibly do this. I hope they come out with a tuner or race chip.

[@LCARSADV]

So all 4 strokes now days are lean. They’ve had some issues with dirty fuel injectors from the factory and that makes it really lean. You’ll be able to tell if your pipe is glowing hot. Really easy job, but take the injector out and clean it. I have a video on that if you look. If you do use the exhaust insert I would drill some more holes in the insert as recommended by GPX.

I have to argue that a used KTM will cost the same and parts from Rockymountainatv come the next day. GPX is a copy of a KTM down to the filter cage (two stroke).

[@LCARSADV]

I'm afraid your wrong (mostly) lol. Its similar to a Husqvarna frame and now there are some ktm style plastics. That's it. The engine is not a copy of anything as the 4 stroke engines are proprietary. The 2 stroke engine is a yamaha literally, as they bought the design and tool line. They currently are designing their own 300 two stroke FI. So again, they somewhat a copy of the husqvarna frame but not the same. I actually like that the plastics are the same so I can order different brands. As for parts, I can order from both RMATVMC or GPX and have parts in 2 days. So your information is completely based on assumption. I would try one out first and then form an opinion.

The KDX 220 engine is superior to the TSE 250. The KDX handles very well and weighs just 223 lbs! You can find a very nice used KDX for 3k! And there are plenty of nice used KTM 300 XC-Ws out there! The TSE 250 is slow. Some says its more confidence inspiring to ride over other bikes. Well when you have a bike that lacks power of course there is no intimidation factor hence more confidence.......

[@LCARSADV]

I’d take the better frame and suspension over the kdx engine. It’s enduro and trails riding, you’re not on the pipe all the time. I’ve ridden a kdx, it’s a great bike, but I’d take the newer GPX over it any day. Plus I wouldn’t want a used Xc or kdx, someone else beat the crap out of it and eventually you have to worry about parts. The GPX tse250r may be “slower” than the kdx, but it’s just as capable and a newer design.

It would be cool to see gpx try and get into the motocross market, where you can upgrade parts as much as any other bike such as an exhaust or clutch, i dont ride trail as much as moto and the 450 just doesnt seem as powerful as a 450 should be, it seems more like a 250 more than anything, and i get it, its FOR the trails, but they could at least give it the power a 450 should have, my dads 2006 crf450 makes around 54 or so hp, so if your able to do some things to push as much horsepower outta the bike as possible, let me know because gpx honestly seems like what i need in a bike, just lacking in the power department

[@LCARSADV]

The 450 has 44Hp which is plenty for any enduro or trail riding. I doubt they'll make a motocross bike as you would have to change the suspension and gearbox with little payoff for the effort. I have the 300 and it never bats an eye at any hill climb it just rips up them! The 450 engine is a fantastic engine, but for enduro, not motocross. Did you test one yet?

@@LCARSADV no i have not tested one as im not 18 and cant get one, i would like to see if ktm or husky parts would fit on the bike since they are so similar, so if I were to get a gpx tse 250, fse 300, or a fse 450, i would put some type of suspension thats a little stiffer cause i am tall so i sit a little further back on the bike and have shock troubles, so if 450 parts fit i would put them on, such as a pro circuit pipes or ohlins suspension or a hinson clutch to make it more of a mellow motocrosser and a nice trail bike

I've never felt the 300 needed more power down low, it has gobs of torque down low. I feel it makes most of its power from low to mid range although it pulls in all gears. Get the 300 if you want to be lighter and do tight single track and woods, get the 450 if you plan on dual sporting it or have more open trails.

[@trevor866]

Not sure where the working man's bike comes in. I will say the GPX and SSR are ok bikes for beginners/ casual riders but its still cheaper to find a Japanese bike on the classifieds and restore it. Found my yz 450 for 1500 put a rebuild in, redid my suspension, bearings ect and it was still cheaper than one of these. In a couple years the Japanese trail lines (x/fx/,rx ect) will be all over marketplace classifieds and you will get a pretty much up to date machine for the same price or less than the cost of one of these. The idea of the price tag on this is just to say I have something "brand new" even though its technology that's a decade plus old. I rode an SSR and I was surprised. Solid little bike. Kind of a slug in the power department but was a decent bike to ride on the non technical trails. We took a Chinese bike on the technical trails and the back suspension was blown by the end of the day. I think another 5 years or so there will be a common chinese bike to see at the tracks and trails. They seem to be going in the right direction.

[@LCARSADV]

Have you ridden one? GPX and SSR are night and day different. GPX frame is a modern frame based on a husqvarna design which is one of the best frames around and as modern as you get. The suspension on GPX bikes is better than most japanese stock suspension. The parts are better and a higher quality grade than SSR. So I would ride one and then pass judgement instead of assuming it's even close to the same as an SSR. I know people who race GPX bikes as they more than capable from beginner to advanced because they are enduro bikes. Go ride one, and if you still come to the same conclusion, then at least it counts as an honest review.

[@trevor866]

@@LCARSADV reason why I related to the SSR is because its also a widely accepted higher quality chinese bike. I have yet to see a GPX available but I would happily try it if I was given the chance. I ride an 08yz450 so either way these bikes won't offer me anything I haven't seen before. The SSR is a good beginner bike. And I would say this one would be a good casual bike. The suspension is high quality sure but any suspension will perform well when you are doing 25 to 30 kms on a trail. Show me an actual test to compare suspension with a Japanese bike. I think you did a very good job show casing the bike but that doesn't change the fact the entire premise of this video is about initial cost of buying the bike. You can get an up to date bike that's 10x more reliable and capable in all aspects for half the price if you are concerned about being affordable. You could get a KTM or Husky for the same price. The only draw to the big bore idea of this bike is simply that. People like 2021 and 450 in the same line. Even though the 2021 is running 20 year old technology and the 450 puts put less power than 30 year old bikes. I will stand by it. Im not one of those people who thinks you need the latest and greatest to have fun riding. Ride what you like and want works for you. This bike is promising for Chinese quality. So is the SSR. But having 2021 in your title isn't worth skipping the older tried and true if you are looking for a cost effective way to start up. In one of your other comments you said to lock tight the crap out of the bike. That's enough said about the quality compared to Japanese.

[@LCARSADV]

@@trevor866 all valid questions. However I would ride one before making a judgement call. I can’t comment on a cr250 when I’ve never ridden one. But I can comment on bikes I’ve ridden. Plus like I said, the SSR is not even remotely the same other than coming from China. The reason I said locktite the crap out of it is because you are putting the bike together from a crate. The engine and main components are fine. You could also buy the bike from a dealer and that setup process would already be done. Good points and enjoy the trails!

I work on my own and I would find it a rare situation to have someone else do work on a dirt bike for me as tinkering and fixing dirt bikes kinda comes with the territory of riding them. Honestly if you aren't capable of doing minor repairs, I wouldn't buy anything but a Honda lol, but any and every other bike brand will need work done at some point, but GPX engine issues are virtually non existent, the only parts that break are ones you break on the trail from normal riding.

I would hit the GPX FB with that specific question, but I have 2 bikes registered in communist New York if that helps. You could always go the Vermont/SD route if Texas had an issue

[@wooblebloc]

Lol I’m sorry but gpx ain’t quality. I’ve seen engines blow. Pegs snap off. And forks bend from little bumps. Plus I don’t like the idea where 90% of the bike has been cloned (poorly) from the ktm. You want a decent cheap but quality bike? Go for the swm. Cost a little more then gpx but has just as good parts as all other European motorcycles

[@LCARSADV]

Is that documented somewhere in the Facebook group or online somewhere? Not that it’s not possible, but I haven’t seen or heard anything like that from anyone. I beat the crap out of mine and it just keeps going. My friend Chad has a 2019 and he has done ungodly things to his engine and it just won’t die. I just haven’t seen what you’re describing from anyone else.

Can any of these bikes be street legal?

[@LCARSADV]

Yes my tse and fse are street legal in NY. The MSO states "motorcycle" Some states are a little different than others, but for the most part yes. If you have a weird state then the Vermont route is always there

[@frostcold81]

If you turn the background music off we would probably be able to hear you speak

Your welcome for the free content which I spent hours to make so you could find it on youtube.

can these bikes be registered in California

[@LCARSADV]

Can anything be registered in California? Lol. I dunno, mine are street legal in NY. I would post that question in the GPX fb group.

[@HobbitHomes263]

I've heard a lotof horrostories about getting a chinese bike titled and plated. How is GPXabout that

[@LCARSADV]

Understandable, I once had a hawk 250 and had the same questions. GPX bikes break the typical Chinese stereotype mold. They actually are good quality all throughout. Plus the bikes actually perform! Most people have no problem plating their bikes, I have two plated in New York. Some states might differ, but worst case scenario you can always go the Vermont or South Dakota route. Check out the GPX Facebook group and ask for your state.

[@HobbitHomes263]

@@LCARSADV what are the Vermont or SD route?

[@LCARSADV]

@@HobbitHomes263 you register in those states as they allow out of state people to register

[@HobbitHomes263]

@@LCARSADV yes but in my state, driving with a MT DL and out of state plates you get a ticket.

[@baconbitz4909]

Do any come street legal, with a title from the factory?

[@fredbunkley5604]

The FSE250E and up come with LED headlights, tail lights, turn signals, brake light, and controls. Depending on the state, one will need a horn and DOT tires to be street legal.

[@LCARSADV]

MSO states “motorcycle”

[@craigbadder321]

In canada they sell gp450 not gpx???????????????

[@LCARSADV]

I’m not sure if GPX has a distributor in Canada, I would go to their website and call and ask and they can get you in the right direction

[@EnduroDroneHub]

Getting one for the Uk makes it expensive

[@LCARSADV]

I’m not sure why there isn’t a distributor in Europe? I would figure there would be a demand for these bikes there

[@iangriffiths9930]

There is now a UK distribution company for these bikes now.

[@EnduroDroneHub]

@@iangriffiths9930 yes and with import duty etc it’s getting up there on price

[@Dirt_Bike_Dave]

Hey LCARS ADV, Sorry I kinda copied your video title, but Dude if it bothered you, why not just say so in my comments or on my Facebook...and not post crap on the GPX group...I am Willing to change the title if your sore about it...I totally was unaware of this video and besides your video is of a off road bike and mine is of a MX bike.

[@LCARSADV]

No dude it’s ok! I meant it as a joke as flattery almost because it’s a good way to convey that idea that these bikes are bikes that normal people can afford. I didn’t post it in your comments because I didn’t want other people on your channel to think you did something nefarious. It’s all good man, don’t change it, sorry about the post, I really wasn’t pisser about it, and I will delete it.

[@Dirt_Bike_Dave]

@@LCARSADV Thanks for responding...I watch your videos and like them. Even went back and watched that one..good stuff...and I always praise Gary for his customer service. The GPX Bikes are Great and this Kayo is on par with them, as purely Motocross Bike and they make an offroad EFI on par.

[@LCARSADV]

@@Dirt_Bike_Dave thanks man, really sorry about all that! Yeah I’m glad we all have so many options these days!

[@autonomousindividual7780]

What China did to us with tools now starting with motorcycles. In 20 or so years we'll reminisce about how Japanese bikes were better but yeah these are cheap. No thanks. This is what China does. They're a rotten country and I do what I can not to participate in their takeover. Do I buy their stuff if I have no choice..yes. A dirtbike doesn't qualify. Also consider that you can buy tanks, racks, windshields, guards etc etc from dozens of makers for a Drz, klr, wr, xr and make it what you want. Yes I still look for 6th on my Drz and its heavy, but its not holding me or 98% of anyone back. I could keep it running off used Ebay parts for 100 years no doubt. And at some point Suzuki is going to update it and the FI model will be the best seller in 2050....if we are still making gasoline. Ranty I know and Im not judging those that bought them, just making a point. There's a lot that goes into being a reputable manufacturer. It takes years of learning and growing at the right pace so you can weather storms and still remain afterward. One big lawsuit or issue and GPX woukd close up. Honda, Suzuki etc close and the world has likely ended. Having said all that if it was anything but Chinese Id give it a shot.

[@autonomousindividual7780]

@igot2wheelissues Relax fella. Go buy 3 of them. Just not for me. I don't want to have the issues involved with an "off brand".. Funny how KTM is lije Jesus Christ. They have deals and all that. So what? Fair amount of complaints about KTM breaking parts. In any case a factory can build to many different specs for various customers. Enjoy. I didn't criticize anyone who bought them and I gave reasons why not for me. You act a bit like someone with a full diaper over such. Not a reciprocal response.

[@autonomousindividual7780]

@igot2wheelissues Your right. And I am probably bitter and holding on to the past. Things are what they are and I think they will continue to change at an even faster rate. I think its entirely possible these bikes might exceed anyone's expectations. I once bought a stripped down Subaru Outback just to run between jobs and drop stuff off. 200k miles later I loved that thing and hated to see it go. It was unstoppable and cheap to keep. My point with China is just that they weaken the competition selling at a loss for a while and then dial back what your getting for the money. At that point you don't have any alternative. They are ruthless and conduct themselves in a way we can't conceiver of. I just try to put up somewhat of a fight and know it's a waste. Hell, I am 48 and probably can't ride for crap anyway. My DRZ will be the last bike I really ever need. Besides all that I hope you have fun and it lasts a very long time. That's the point of it all. Good point about being able to let people hop on without having a knot in your stomach. Would be nice to have an extra to let people come along with you. That's what's in short supply - new riders.

[@sgonnason9120]

My friend bought on. Worst bike ever. He made to distributor take it back.

[@LCARSADV]

In what way?

[@johnnydangerously9426]

It’s not a Yamaha motor , it is the same design but dose not have a coating on the cylinder bore . Not as quick , I’ve owed both back to back 😎I had a wr200 . Serious, not even close . They have great dealer backup . Easy to get parts cheap 😎

[@johnlanglinais471]

2 minutes til you finally get to content, kind of annoying

[@LCARSADV]

Free content, no one's forcing you to watch it. The videos like that take a lot of time and effort on my part to bring free content to people to help them out.

[@Toad_Moto]

I always roll my eyes at the people who say these are "cheap" Chinese bikes and equate them to ones you can buy on Amazon. 🤣

[@LCARSADV]

You know it's weird, I haven't seen any of those trolls in the FB group? Yeah certainly many of the china bikes deserve that stereotype, but GPX is different, and I don't know of any other bikes from china that are on par

[@TheRoadhammer379]

Those same guys only buy Dewalt, Makita and Milwaukee... because 'Murica. Too dense to realize all those feel good brands are made in China, Vietnam and occasionally Europe.

[@chrispewkreme]

@@TheRoadhammer379no… we stick to Yamaha, KTM, Beta, etc. Brands known for quality and reliability. Not some Chinese garbage that rips off KTM and Yamaha.

[@chuytapia8246]

Better off buying a used Japanese bike.

[@LCARSADV]

What makes you say that? Have you ridden a GPX?

[@erickloucek1474]

Especially with this virus going on, who wants to ride a Chinese bike anyway ?? The market ain’t as big as the Japanese bikes, this lousy company needs to get a grip and make their own bikes. Plus they don’t race them.

[@chrispewkreme]

It’s a blatant rip-off of KTM with a wannabe Yamaha motor. Cmon now. It’s a cheap Chinese bike. There’s a reason nobody is racing these. There’s a reason nobody is selling these. There’s a reason China has never sold a good bike. Name one… How much were you paid for this ad?

[@LCARSADV]

You are ignorant and don’t know what you’re talking about, because you’ve never even seen one lol. They race plenty of these and no it’s not a rip off, they have the rights. All your ktm parts are made in china too buddy in the same factories. The video was meant to help inform people, and you contribute nothing to any brand by shitting on them. Ride one first before sounding like an f ing uninformed idiot.
