Chinese KTM Knock Off 85
« on: May 27, 2018, 10:37:17 AM »
I'm no fan of Chinese crap bikes, but this bike looks to be a pretty close copy of a KTM.  My money is on the Chinese continuing up the ladder (they started with KTM knock off 50 two strokes) to the 125/250/300 family.  I find it interesting that the Chinese realize how hot two strokes are, but the d**n Japanese can't or won't.

Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

Okay, so maybe they already have.   :-D

The prices are pretty high for these, especially for the reputation they have.   :-o  Scroll down for video.

The bikes referenced are actually GPX/Pitster Pro models. There are some better pictures on the Facebook page under the imbedded video.

Here’s a better look at the bike. It’s an electric start, oil injected 250 based on the Yamaha DT 230 Lanza.
