Great review as always... and for people ( many ) will love this for under £5000..... NOT everybody wants or can afford a £15,000+ motorcycle

very good and honest revue.

Good to hear some honesty, I hear too many people raving about Chinese bikes without mentioning the downsides. Rusting before it left the factory. I recently looked at a Benelli TRK502 and the build quality was pathetic.

i have one, and agree the sidestand lean is a frightener, also the seat is a wrestling match to put back on, with a under tank lip at front , your click down at the back and the killer, a hook and eye set up in the middle, have fun matching those three up i can tell you!

Looks a bit cluttered with the bars and all the luggage and attendant scaffolding, but even the big adventure bikes do, so that's not really a criticism. Cheap, I suppose, but I think there are better value bikes around for not much more. I suppose it is directly comparable to the brilliant KTM 390 Adventure, but that is a lot more expensive. The 390 is the bike in this sector I'd buy, but I'm biased. I have a Duke. The usual excellent review, Tony.

Nice review as always Tony. Be interesting to see how this compares against the benelli trk502x. I had one when they first came out and like the sinnis the main issue was spare parts lead time and also fairly heavy....but for the money still a great bike. The TRK has a bigger engine so is probably closer to the Honda 🤔👍

Buy it new and chuck it at a dealer once the warranty runs out. I couldn't imagine anyone doing this worrying about residues.

Quite good review: nice "China Boy"! What about the others China bikes? Most interesting - is CF MOTO...

That kickstand lean was worrisome for me. CSC (the importer to the US) sells an extended kickstand. I have the RX4, the single 450cc version. After I installed the extended kickstand I felt better.

Good review.

It has a niche appeal I guess as you said Tony - you want new, low budget and adv But a used CB500X would be about the same, with a better dealer network, much better residuals and quality of finish And 200kg? Wow

Wish list: 380 V-Strom!!

Great bike for the money, it's got every thing you need for under £4,800 if your starting out with adventure bikes why pay £10-£15K...

I'm a lover on sinnis bikes (carby models admittedly) and had them for years. The engines are fantastic on the older models but the frame and other bits are very poor sadly

"Buy cheap, buy twice," is what a grandmother said to some guy who wrote a post on 4chan, which I once read in 1974 before I was actually born.

I've watched a couple of your vids on mobile whilst waiting for other stuff to happen and I've noticed that they're not being marked as watched on the web version of youtube. Seems a bit odd and disjointed. Winter's comin' recommendations for good wintery ones that'll cope with rain. Triumph ones getting a bit long in the tooth. (all year/weather riding) Would like something that'll go over the Rukka jacket cuffs. Any ideas?

Is this your new go to helmet too? What happened to the glamster ?

If you had the choice between this and a G310GS, which would you choose?

No pillion but has a pillion seat and pegs, sounds like a mountain bike I bought from Halfords that had a sticker saying not for off road use.

interesting vid , nice views of Andrewsfield by the way

What u have to ask urself, is how is going to look in 4 yrs time...??? It's already rusting badly, I think that, if I was in the market for a bike like this, I'd buy something else....

You get what you pay for. Beware!.........Sal : )
