    Default Weird RS Knock Off

    It is a 250cc Spyder clone... direct rip off of a Can Am's styling/engineering. Saw a 2010 for sale on Facebook Marketplace and looked a bit further. Ick.

    These are the Chinese knockoffs that were written about early on. That is no deal on the current price. They used to sell for $2995. Good luck on finding a servicing dealer and on reliability with the product. CAVEAT EMPTOR! Let the buyer beware.

    Wonder if they bounce along on Kendas? You can probably quickly park these next to the broken Chinese scooter in your garage. LOL

    Default Interesting....🤔

    It's been around for years now and I agree with ARtraveler. I do like the bolt on rear wheel it is a nice feature.... never seen one on the road around here...

    Yeah but.....I noticed it has a single sided swing arm and I'm jealous about that. And so does the Ryker, and I'm jealous of that too!

    I got a kick out of the FREE delivery restrictions.

    grandpot I had a 50cc one just like that, even a single sided swingarm. I put over 24,000 mi on mine before engine quit but I decided I was to old to work on it anymore and CanAm brought out the Ryker at the right time so for my 65th birthday I bought the Ryker. Yes the Chinese ones are very reliable lol you learn you ride it for 4 hrs. and then you repair it. Of course they are very easy to work on you can replace the top of the engine in less than an hour and new parts to do it cost about $25.00 so it was a blast when I was younger(60) now I just want to ride. There is a dealer about 60mi away so no difference than my BRP dealer. But also you get what you pay for. Frank

    I have a granddaughter who is in her mid 30s and want to get into motorcycling. She has already taken the course and got the endorsement. She would like to get a bike from CSC Motorcycles who sells a line of 250 cc and 450 cc Chinese bikes. They are not only affordable (aka cheap) it gets shipped to your door and they have a good warranty program. I checked 'em out and the only thing I have against 'em is spoked wheels that have tubed tires. But that's just me. She likes the SG250 cafe bike.

    I bought a CSC RX3 four years ago, which is the adventure style bike that comes with luggage and crash bars. kind of looks like a BMW "F" series. I've done a lot of on and off road riding with it, and it's been trouble free. The quality is actually pretty impressive.

    They look a bit suspect, but the front tyres look better quality than the Kenda's
