The CSC SG250 Cafe Racer Keeps Getting BETTER!

OLD SCHOOL COOL HAS NEVER BEEN MORE AFFORDABLE!

The CSC SG250 San Gabriel motorcycle is a throw-back to the 1960’s. After the super-successful introduction in 2018, the SG250 returns with four NEW color choices in 2020. You still get ALL the standard features that make the SG250 an UNBEATABLE value!

CSC SG250 cafe racer

2020 CSC SG250 in Black with contrasting Gold trim

The CSC SG250 San Gabriel reminds us why we love to ride. The San Gabriel is handsome, yet rugged. Its 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 by Honda back in 1975. Honda and other manufacturers wanted to export motorcycles into the growing market of Southeast Asia. But there were no motorcycle “dealers” in these emerging markets, only local repair shops which disassembled and repaired broken down motorcycles. Customers brought their motorcycles in only after they had stopped running. The concept of routine maintenance was completely foreign to the motor bike owners.

CSC SG250

2020 CSC SG250 San Gabriel in Green with contrasting trim

So Honda developed a new motorcycle engine that 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. This engine was later manufactured in a new factory in Brazil and Honda introduced a new motorcycle for the South American market called the CG125 Titan.

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 its modern motorcycles, 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.

2020 CSC SG250

2020 CSC SG250 Cafe Racer in White with contrasting trim

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! Fuel economy is typically over 65 miles per gallon. When combined with a four-gallon gas tank, this provides the rider with a range exceeding 200 miles.

There are two main categories of CSC SG250 San Gabriel owners. There are riders who are buying their first motorcycle. These riders appreciate the nimble handling and performance of the 230cc engine in the lightweight chassis. New riders also enjoy the simplicity of the dash, controls, and especially the low-maintenance requirements of the SG250.

The second (and largest) category of CSC SG250 San Gabriel owners are experienced bikers who already own several motorcycles. The café racer-style appeals to experienced riders for its vintage and rebellious heritage. Its streamlined, minimalist, and retro. Experienced riders are attracted to the SG250 because of what it ISN’T. The SG250 San Gabriel isn’t high-tech. 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!

Many experienced riders have dreamed of rebuilding an old-school project bike. But most of these older “host” bikes require massive restoration that costs thousands. In contrast, the 2020 CSC SG250 is available NEW, including a 12-month unlimited mileage warranty, for ONLY $2,195.00. For less than the cost of a rebuild, you get a new motor, new chrome exhaust, new disc brakes and brake lines, new rims and tires – plus a modern electronic dash.

2020 CSC SG250 in Silver with contrasting trim

The CSC SG250 San Gabriel is faithful to the appearance of the old bikes, but also well-equipped with important features like 17-inch tires on aluminum rims, full instrumentation including a digital speedometer, tachometer, odometer, fuel gauge, gear indicator, and neutral light. You have inverted front forks and adjustable rear reservoir shocks. Stopping power is provide by a huge front and rear disc brakes (upgraded in 2019.)

CSC SG250

Old bikes can’t compete with the new CSC SG250 that includes an LED headlight, LED brake light and turn signals, 300-watt alternator, a 2-person seat plus rubber-cushioned foot pegs for driver and passenger, and even a locking gas cap. All these convenience features are STANDARD equipment on the 2020 CSC SG250 San Gabriel.

Each CSC Motorcycle is a CUSTOM Bike. Build it your way!

CSC Motorcycles sells the BEST values in motorcycles. But – we ALSO design and install custom accessories to make your riding even BETTER!

When you order any CSC Motorcycle you ALSO have the opportunity to customize it to your specific riding needs. CSC Motorcycles combines a full range of accessories with a full service department. The result is that most CSC Motorcycles are really custom bikes when they are shipped to the owner.

 CSC Motorcycles

New 2020 CSC RX4 ready for shipping with racks, luggage and LED light options installed

Sure, you can order a stock CSC model. (After all, that is what you are used to from most cycle shops.) But then you need to pay high retail prices for the many components you plan to add to your new motorcycle – and you need to spend hours and day installing these parts before you can hit the trail.

 CSC Motorcycles

CSC SG250 accessorized with “Scrambler” tires, grips and LED lights

CSC Motorcycles is different. Our motto is: “Creating motorcycling fun you can afford!” We start with motorcycles that are true bargains in terms of price, standard features, free delivery and warranties. Then we design custom accessories to make riding better and to extend your riding range and the versatility of each model. Finally, CSC has a full service department to install accessories and aftermarket parts.

Bottom line: CSC Motorcycles will custom build YOUR bike with all the accessories you want. Not only will your new bike be delivered fully-equipped and ready-to-ride, but you will also SAVE money two ways. Many CSC accessories are exclusive to our North American models, and yet are also real bargains. Plus, CSC will install all the accessories for FREE on new bike orders in October.

Pictured below is a fully-accessorized TT250 that was built as an example. This 2019 TT250 is in the CSC showroom NOW and is available for sale at a package price. This tricked out bike is really cool in the very popular Orange and Black colors. It is loaded up with the most popular bolt-on accessories and is ready for any adventure.

Moose ADV1 rear tail bag on TT250

It’s always nice to have some storage on any Adventure ride. So we installed the CSC Billet Aluminum Rear Rack that is a direct bolt on unit which retails for only $89.95. Then we topped the cargo rack with this Moose 25L dry ADV1 trail pack that retails for $59.95.

 CSC Motorcycles

12-volt and USB charger on TT250

On every ride it’s always a good idea to have a cell phone or GPS. So next we installed a handlebar-mounted  Cobra Ultimate Motorcycle Cell Phone and GPS Charging System (12-volt and USB) that retails for only $29.95.

 CSC Motorcycles

LED riding lights and CSC Billet Aluminum fork brackets on TT250

Likewise, for night riding it always nice to have increased lighting. These CSC mini spots will really light up the night. We mount the lights to the fork tubes with Billet Mounting Brackets that retail for $59.95 a pair. The spot lights are wired to one of the standard accessory switches on the TT250 handlebars. These lights are not plastic; they are high-quality aluminum, water proof and dust proof, 10w Cree Mini Round 900lm LED and retail for $89.95 each. 

 CSC Motorcycles

Full-wrap hand guards on TT250

 CSC Motorcycles

Shinko 805 rear knobby tire upgrade to the TT250

 CSC Motorcycles

Shinko 804 front tire upgrade to the TT250

We finished this custom build with more aggressive knobby tires. While the stock TT250 tires are great for mixed road and light dirt riding, if you want something a little more beefy you will want to upgrade to DOT knobbies. We swapped the stock tires with a  Shinko 804/805 Crossfly 90/90/21 804 on the front ($99.95) and a 120/90/18 805 on the rear ($89.95). This is the hot set up for the TT250 – both street and trail.

 CSC Motorcycles

SAVE $346.74 on this fully-equipped 2019 TT250!

The full list of accessories shown on this custom 2019 TT250 totals $902.44. Purchased separately, the labor to install everything would be $256.50.

But – IF  you order your TT250 similarly equipped and have CSC install the accessories you will save the $256.50 labor charge – PLUS we will give you a 10% discount on all the accessories. This saves you another $90.24 for a package discount of $346.74. You save money AND the hours to install the skid plate, lights, outlets, rack, and tires!

ADV Moto Test Rides the 2020 CSC RX4 450

ADV Moto: “Could this be the budget adventure bike we’ve been waiting for?”

CSC Motorcycles RX4

ADV Moto recently released an online article that summarized their test ride of the new CSC RX4. In the article written by Pablo Espinosa, he asks the question: “Could this be the budget adventure bike we’ve been waiting for?”

For at least 20 years the adventure riding, dual-sport market has had to choose between uncomfortable street-legal dirt bikes (WR250, DR650), over-weight “adventure” street bikes (Wee-Strom, Tenere, BMW’s), and antiquated cross-over models (KLR650, DRZ400.)

Riders asked, “Why aren’t any brands offering an economical, smaller dual-sport with fuel-injection and some basic features important to ADV riding – like a decent gas tank, electronics, and at least a few ADV-features as standard equipment? Why do I have to spend hundreds more to prepare a new “adventure motorcycle” for actual riding?”

CSC RX3

CSC Motorcycles first bucked the trend with the RX3 Adventure. This economical 250cc motorcycle includes fuel-injection, adjustable suspension, full instrumentation, windshield, 300-watt alternator to power accessories, a large 4.2-gallon gas tank, AND a locking rear top box, side panniers, and mounting racks as STANDARD equipment. (See CSCMotorcycles.com for more information. The 2019 CSC RX3 sells for only $3,995.00, plus fees.)

While the 250cc RX3 has been very popular and has developed a family of loyal small-bike advocates, there were many others who longed for a larger ADV-bike. After several years of development and testing, CSC Motorcycles (and their manufacturing partner, Zongshen) has finalized the specs on the new 2020 CSC RX4 with a 450cc fuel-injected, single-cylinder motor.

CSC Motorcycles RX4

2020 CSC RX4 shown with OPTIONAL Shinko knobby tires (Moab, Utah)

The new 2020 RX4 is now completing EPA-certification to enable sales in all 50-states, including California’s CARB standards. ADV Moto was able to take a pre-production model for a test ride, and the article is based on this test. They write:

“At the relatively inexpensive price of $5,395, the 2020 RX4 offers many standard amenities for a 450cc-sized modern adventure-style motorcycle. Though the quality of the parts may not be up to the standards of its German or Japanese counterparts, can it hold its own in reliability and durability at such a low entry price point?”

“The CSC RX4 is manufactured in China by Zongshen under an exclusive arrangement with CSC. Zongshen has become a global entity with true quality control and state-of-the-art manufacturing. And is respected enough to partner with Piaggio, Harley-Davidson, Norton and others to build engines as well as many other components.”

The Base 2020 CSC RX4 at MSRP $5,395.00 plus fees.

The reader should understand that virtually all power-sports brands have manufacturing alliances in China. Other brands that rely on Chinese manufacturing include KTM, Vespa, BMW, Mercury Marine, Honda Marine plus “American” companies like Chevrolet.

CSC Motorcycles is the co-designer, exclusive importer and distributor for Zongshen in North America. The ADV Moto article correctly describes the warranty and parts support that CSC Motorcycles provides every new owner:

CSC Motorcycles RX4

CSC Motorcycles stocks 100% of the parts for each model

“With over 30 years in the motorcycle industry, CSC stands behind its product with a two-year, unlimited mile warranty. If something requires warranty work within the first year, both parts and labor are covered. For the second year, CSC covers just the part(s) and you pay the labor or install it yourself using the online tutorials on the CSC website. Steve Seidner, the owner, tells me they stock EVERY spare part for their bikes in their Azusa, California warehouse. And more good news, they’re building a network of CSC-familiar service centers throughout the U.S. If one isn’t near you, then use your favorite mechanic for warranty work. If need be, CSC will overnight parts to you or your mechanic. They also offer an extended warranty for up to four years for an additional fee. All this support is confidence inspiring.”

The CSC Motorcycles warranty is more than “confidence inspiring”. The two-year, unlimited mileage warranty is unmatched in the industry. No other brand stands behind its products like CSC Motorcycles. No other brand has 100% of the parts in stock. CSC will work with the new owner (or a favorite local motorcycle shop) to handle any warranty issues. Zongshen, CSC’s manufacturing partner, has completed several years of reliability and performance testing, including dyno testing at the factory plus a 6,000-mile dual-sport road test across China. This reliability testing is also unheard of in the industry.

Because the test ride was completed on a pre-production model, the writer listed a few features incorrectly. The full list of features (from the CSCMotorcycles.com website) confirm that the CSC RX4 is an unmatched value in the Adventure Motorcycle category.

Overland Expo Recap – Two-Wheel Transportation Trends

What’s Trendy in Two-Wheel Transportation, As Displayed At Overland Expo-West

By Randy Reek

I recently had the chance to attend Overland Expo-West in Flagstaff, Arizona. This is the place to see the latest vehicles, equipment, and gear for the broad “overlanding” market. Overlanding has been defined as traveling cross-country, preferably off the paved roads for maximum adventure.

CSC TT250 Enduro

Overland Expo-West by TGH Creative

Tens of thousands of people attended and were able to view hundreds of exhibits. These ranged from modified Jeeps costing over $100,000 to “overland” camping vehicles that cost over $500,000 to simple tents. But I kept an eye out for two-wheel vehicles. There were plenty to see, from more traditional dual-sport motorcycles, cycles with side cars, to numerous bicycle options.

There were several brands of large “adventure” motorcycles on display. But it seems that the trend is slightly reversing and many brands are introducing (or testing the market) with smaller ADV motorcycles. Evidently, riders are tiring of heavy, complicated, and EXPENSIVE 1,000 cc adventure bikes that cost more to buy, maintain, and insure than many automobiles.

CSC Motorcycles has been ahead of this trend for many years. The CSC RX3 Adventure remains the best value in light ADV bikes – NOW only $3,995.00 (plus fees) with tons of standard features and accessories.

CSC RX3 Adventure

The new 2020 CSC RX4 will be arriving in July and the 450cc motor will answer the needs of riders who need more power for long-distance highway riding or heavy loads including two-up riding. At only $5,395.00 (plus fees), the RX4 costs less than HALF of much of the competition.

Of course, the all-time value leader is the CSC TT250 Enduro. This dual-sport cycle still costs ONLY $2,195.00 delivered (plus fees.)

CSC TT250 Enduro

The CSC TT250 is simply fun to ride!

The base bike is a great platform to customize for your style of riding – adding rear rack, soft bags, different gearing or even new wheels and tires (if you want to be a road warrior!)

CSC TT250 Enduro

OPTIONAL – TT250 Aluminum Super Moto wheels and tires!

The only criticism the TT250 receives is when it is compared to bikes in different categories:

  • The CSC TT250 Enduro is not as fast as a larger, fuel-injected Enduro or Super Moto. But the 230cc air-cooled motor is super-dependable, simple to tune, and cheap to maintain.
  • The CSC TT250 Enduro won’t keep up with racy motocross bikes on the track. It won’t compete with motocross bikes on jumps or whoops. But the light-weight TT250 is street-legal in all 50-states so you can ride it in town and on the highway to the woods.
  • The CSC TT250 Enduro won’t be as comfortable on long-distance rides as other dual-sports, including the CSC RX3 or RX4. Riders HAVE taken the TT250 on some LONG rides – see the article on the 2,000-mile Rocky Mountain Adventure. But the TT250 is only half the price of the CSC RX3 Adventure, and yet is a versatile motorcycle for riding on and off the road.

Attending the Overland Expo reminded me just what a tremendous value the CSC TT250 Enduro is in the market today. One of the hottest trends is fat bikes, and fat bikes with electric motors. Many of these were on display – and on the back of Jeeps and campers.

E-Fat Bikes are the hot, trendy ride (if you have BIG bucks!)

Prices for electric fat bikes start at about $3,000 and go to OVER $7,000!!! Let’s compare what you get with an E-fat bike compared to a TT250:

Range: E-Fat Bike: 50 miles or less (then recharge overnight) vs. TT250: 150 miles (60+ MPG, then refill the 2.9-gallon tank anywhere and be back on the road in five minutes.)

Speed: E=Fat Bike: 20 to 25 mph vs. TT250: 55 mph (70 mph or higher with optional highway gearing.)

Suspension: E-Fat Bike: none or minimal shocks vs. TT250: adjustable front and rear shocks.

Load capacity: E-Fat Bike: one-person or 250 pounds vs. TT250: 600-pounds or two-riders and gear.

Electric Fat Bike cost: $3,000 to over $7,000 vs. CSC TT250 Enduro cost: $2,195.00 – DELIVERED (plus set-up and documentation fees.)

Included equipment and accessories: E-Fat Bike: none vs. TT250: Headlight, LED tail light, LED turn signals, rear view mirrors, digital speedometer, tachometer, locking gas cap, steel bash plate, large front and rear risk brakes with stainless steel brake lines, electric start and kick starter, ignition and fork security locks, 300-watt alternator and handlebar switches pre-wired for accessories.

CSC TT250 Enduro

Standard – locking gas cap and 2.9-gallon gas tank

CSC TT250 Enduro

Standard – steel bash plate, kick starter and electric start

This doesn’t include the OPTIONAL accessories to make the TT250 even more capable off-road, like a full-skid plate, knobby tires, and CSC billet aluminum rear rack and soft luggage.

OPTIONAL – TT250 full aluminum skid plate

For the critics out there, the CSC TT250 Enduro is NOT the perfect dual-sport, motocross, or  adventure bike. BUT – the CSC TT250 Enduro remains the BEST value in a bike that can be used for commuting, trail riding, or ADV-light touring. Shop around – or attend an “Overland Expo –  and I think you will agree!

The CSC TT250 Enduro is also the value-leader when compared to some popular “novelty” rides. Compare the TT250 to the 125 cc Honda Monkey that costs $3,999.00:
