Nice looking ride..

Just wondering if you still have it and how it has faired over the time you have owned it as I am looking at getting my first bike after passing my test.

Passed a few years ago but never had the funds at the time to get one and I am looking for something nippy, different and mainly for town use.

Hope you dont mind me asking...

@paulwlynch judging by what your after this is not the bike for you, i no longer have the bike but it did not fair well in the time i had it although i loved the bike i had a few issues with it , it didnt cope with the gritting in the bad weather and it ruined the look of bike although that could be put down to me not cleaning it enough, if you wash the salt off it would be ok like most chinese bikes the chrome is not a good standard but if you look after it then it would be fine

you need a pair of saddle bags on that puppy, then get a sissy bar bag and a tool roll, then you are set, propably buy yourself a funky air filter for that v twin of yours as well

[lardarzz]

it is not that easy im afriad the air filter is already a K&N style filter but it is hidden by the silver moulding that runs the length of bike and it uses the frame as an air duct.

as for bags i not a lover of the leather bags i kinda like the boxes although they are not that spacious and when new never seem to lock but a trimm with stanley knife sorts that out.

is that the jinlun 250 spartan? just wonderin cause 'I want one for y first bike and were wondering about top speed cause ive heard 85mph but i'll be on the motorway a bit so don't wanna push it and kill the engine

[lardarzz]

it is the spartan in all but name for some reason the black and silver are spartans but all silver are challengers and i never seen another one except mine mine was even used on the brochures provided byt the suppliers

i had a jinlin scooter last year to sell not to ride and it was terrible. when i sold it, it was falling to pieces i actually felt sorry for the guy who bought it.. hope your one lasts longer than the one i had

[paulwlynch]

@lardarzz Sorry to hear about the problems you had with it.

It looks a cool wee ride on screen and people seem to like them.

Thanks for getting back to me and good luck with the biking. I'll just need to need to have a good look around the bike show when we come down...
