Old school cool has never been more affordable. The 2020 CSC SG250 STILL only $2,195.00!
The CSC SG250 San Gabriel motorcycle is a throw-back to the 1960’s. After the super-successful introduction in 2018, the SG250 returns EVEN BETTER for 2020.
2020 CSC SG250 San Gabriel cafe racer
The CSC SG250 San Gabriel reminds us why we love to ride. The “retro” San Gabriel is cool and rugged. It is stripped down to the essentials and intentionally avoids complications. The SG250 is equipped with a proven 230cc, air-cooled counter-balanced engine. CSC has brought back the café racer, equipped with everything you need for heart-pumping, purist motor bike riding – and nothing you don’t!

The 230cc motor used in the CSC SG250 (and the CSC TT250 Enduro) is a modernized version of the “world-design” motorcycle CG engine first developed in the 1970’s. Manufacturers wanted to export motorcycles into the growing market of Southeast Asia. But there were no motorcycle “dealers” in these emerging markets. Local repair shops repaired broken down motorcycles. The concept of routine maintenance was completely foreign to motor bike owners, most of whom relied on their bikes as the sole means of transportation.
CSC SG250 – retro styling, modern engineering
The CG motorcycle engine was specifically designed to require minimal maintenance. The lightweight, short-pushrod overhead valve 125cc engine featured a gear-driven, single camshaft structure for both intake and exhaust. The shaft is located where one would find the cam-chain housing in the overhead cam engine. Honda built a new engine factory in Brazil and introduced a new motorcycle for the South American market called the CG125 Titan.
CSC SG250 San Gabriel: dependable and pure FUN!
Over 40 years later, the original CG125 patent has long expired. Today, Zongshen, the manufacturer of the CSC SG250, has a modern factory that builds over 3 MILLION engines each year. Zongshen builds both a 125cc and a 230cc version of the old CG engine. CSC distributes only the 230cc version in North America, with the additional update of a counter-balancer. This dependable motor is available in both the CSC SG250 San Gabriel and the CSC TT250 Enduro.
By American standards, 230cc is considered small. But in the CSC SG250, this engine is placed in a motorcycle that weighs only 273 pounds! That gives the CSC SG250 San Gabriel brisk acceleration and a cruising top end of 70 miles per hour! (Gearing options are available for both the SG250 and TT250 for more highway speed or offroad torque.) Fuel economy is typically over 65 miles per gallon. When combined with a four-gallon gas tank (with locking gas cap), you have a range exceeding 200 miles.
CSC SG250 cafe racer – brings back old school riding fun
There are two main categories of CSC SG250 San Gabriel owners. Riders who are buying their first motorcycle appreciate the nimble handling and performance of the 230cc engine in the lightweight chassis.
Experienced bikers like the vintage café racer-style. They appreciate the SG250 because it is streamlined and minimalist – no electronic suspension, no surround-sound stereo, no trip computer, and no hassles! Just turn the key and ride – OR stomp the kick starter for another reminder of a simpler time!
