    I've been riding my GPX TSE 250r for over a year and a half now and still love the bike. For reference my previous bike was a 2015 ktm 500exc. I originally thought I was taking a chance buying a cheap new bike over a used name brand but now I don't see myself wanting to sell or "upgrade" to anything else anytime soon. I have raced enduro, done crazy hill climbs with friends and went on slow trail rides with new riders and my GPX has been wonderful for me.

    • @dracer35
      @dracer35 3 года назад +5

      Also, one of the reasons I bought this bike is because I've never been a two stroke guy and wanted to improve my riding technique along with my clutch skills. Not to mention, I don't care about nor do I want to bother with mixing gas so mine with the oil injection has been perfect for me personally.

    • @ILikeMotorbikes
      @ILikeMotorbikes  3 года назад +2

      Glad to hear you're enjoying yours so much! I think they're a brilliantly capable bike and I'm glad it meets your needs
      Could you see yourself upgrading to the 300cc or a newer GPX in future?

    • @dracer35
      @dracer35 3 года назад +7

      @@ILikeMotorbikes Honestly I like my "250" so much that I don't really see the need to. Of course I love getting to try new and different bikes but unless I could resell my current GPX for a very good price, I don't think it would make sense.
      Also, if the new 300 doesn't have the oil injection that's a big miss for me personally. I love being able to just gas up and go ride. I only put oil in mine bike once every 2 or 3 rides and it usually doesn't really need it yet.
      Thirdly, I plated my bike to be street legal (here in the U.S.) initially when I first titled the bike when it was new. My wife and I like to ride the mountains in Colorado on vacations and we have to have "street legal" bikes to ride the gravel roads connecting different trails so having the oil injection makes it that much easier for me to just gas up and go when exploring.
      It is really tempting to look into the newer 300 version still lol.

    • @ILikeMotorbikes
      @ILikeMotorbikes  3 года назад +3

      @@dracer35 that makes total sense, for hassle free riding where you can easily burn through multiple tanks of gas then oil injection makes total sense.
      Also it's great to here even after so much time you still like your 250. Have you had any reliability issues at all?
      Regardless of the bike you have it's always exciting and tempting to be looking at other bikes 😁

      @@ILikeMotorbikes I did have to initially go back over all the bolts on the bike after the first ride to tighten a few that had worked themselves loose including the nut for the Kickstarter that got lost somewhere along the trail. Luckily the Kickstarter made it back to the truck with me lol. I don't really fault GPX for this since I've had other new bikes included Kawasaki and Yamaha that had the exact same thing happen. Definitely wouldn't hurt to add a touch of blue loctite on the steel threaded parts as needed.

    My GPX arrived broken out of the crate.... Once I got that sorted out, the bike only lasted a couple months of hard riding before multiple issues started popping up, which kept the bike down for months. While it was down I went nuts trying to find information and parts.
    The ignition switch was one of the first things to go....

      I will be making a video of my Chinese bike in a race. Mine isn't the same name as this but it look like the same factory made them. I won't mention the name here out of respect to GPX. But I've looked it over and the quality is there. Good welds great manufactured parts, but mine is an actual 249cc 2 stroke. I'll be racing amateur over 59 class in Texas later this year as I get use to the bikes again. But I think I can take them even with my 2000 dollar Chinese bike with a 4 stroke.

    For people interested in these, I have a kayo kt250 equivalent. they have a ktm style frame, plastics and similar tank. The air box is a direct clone of a ktm air box. Yamaha dt230 cloned engine. Many of the parts are interchangeable. The suspension is crf450 cloned. The wheels are interchangeable with a specific year of crf250. They are good, fairly fast, and seemingly reliable machines. The suspension is a little soft but fully adjustable and there are people who can revalve them. If you buy the kayo you’ll save money but you’ll want to upgrade the pipe and reeds for the full power capabilities. Like those two mods make an insane difference on power. These things lug for days. If you need parts you don’t have to source them from China, you can buy the name brand equivalent from a ktm, Honda, or Yamaha. Also the dealer can get all the parts.

Parts availability lol i waited months for a crf 300l clutch lever & 6 months for the plastics. Every first gen bike will have issues with parts if you are one of the first people to own one.

    Two main questions everyone has when it comes to Chinese bikes never seem to get addressed in reviews. 1: reliability/longevity 2: parts availability
    I will never pay for a Chinese bike until a review proves to me these are not an issue.

    • @ILikeMotorbikes
      @ILikeMotorbikes  2 года назад +1

      It's always hard to assess reliability and longevity in a morning of riding though.
      This very bike is being raced by the importer, James Brown, and you can find the link to the Facebook page on the description. No failures beyond fall damage so far.
      Also he is importing plenty of spares with bikes so there should be 100% UK dealer stock of parts.
      Alternatively there are many parts from the KTM exc range which are a direct fit so I don't believe you'll have issues with finding replacement parts for this bike. I can't comment for other brands but certainly GPX seem to have it figured out

  • @jonnyhoath515

    • @ILikeMotorbikes
      @ILikeMotorbikes  3 года назад +1

      That's certainly a consideration. The parts availability I'm told shouldn't be an issue as there will be a UK stock of spares too. I'm not convinced the longevity of many parts will be an issue in reality, there is a huge following in the US for these bikes and over the last 3 years plenty of people have taken the choice to have one and parts not lasting, hasn't been something I've read during my research. Can't comment on resale value but it's a valid point for sure 👍

    You mention they keep improving the bikes as time goes on which is true but the price also increases with those upgrades and now they are more expensive than used good name brand bikes which takes away from the "value" you get from gpx imo. In other words, if you can get a used name brand bike for equal price or less than a gpx, you would be better off getting the used bike.

    • @ILikeMotorbikes
      @ILikeMotorbikes  Год назад +2

      I totally see your point but as the price of the GPX rises, so does every other manufacturer so it stays about the same for the gap between them and this. I think rather than saying this is a worse option or a better option what is great, is that people do now have the option! It's an opportunity to make a choice that wasn't available previously and that is only a good thing for the sport in my opinion

      No Japanese manufacturers are going to licence out design patents on a new tech design that is still in current production and only outdated lower tech designs are sold to the Chinese manufacturers. The tech of today also requires materials of a higher spec thought areas in the motors and run under higher stresses and require more maintenance. The idea is to keep manufacturing costs along with materials costs down to keep the price point and profit margins within reason. Besides if the engines are pitting out more power then the rest of the bike also needs to be built to handle that power and build spec for the rest of the bike will also go up. I build engines for Dirtbikes for a living and there is good reason why NO chinese parts are allowed to go into any of the Japanese motors I build. The metallurgy of the metals are not the same(yet).
