3 reviews
Great first cruiser – Have owned an lx 250-8 for about 8 months great bike on road looking at sellin it as going to upgrade rode nearly every other bike like this one , bought it because it was the best .. Reliable good learners bike looks good
Excellent – This is an awesome bike at an awesome price, will even give experienced riders a good time, if you have 4000 to buy a bike, don't buy a second hand japanese bike, seriously! Buy one of these you won't regret it! Solid heavy bike, sounds great for a 250, quite difficult to ride if used to sports or superbikes but very very comfertable! Its very cheap and sits on the freeway with no dramas! Lots of plastic, never been a fan of plastic but I guess you get what you pay for.
Excellent – I have owned one (a Loncin LX250-8 since May 2008) & won't sell it for a while yet. When I do I'll buy another Loncin. This is the best riding & best value bike I have ever owned. It is my fourth bike. I've had Japaneese bikes all along & decided to try the Loncin & have not looked back. It rides better & handles better than the Suzuli Intruder, Yamaha XV-250 Virago or even the Honda's VT400.
Comfortable on long rides of 100Km or more will let you get round town easily. It has got the "Classic Cruiser" look & sounnds good to boot. I have ridden with groups that spend $20,000 in a bike & it can't do anything this $4,500 bike can do. I keep up with them when they show off their moves & out do them most of the time. It is a well balanced round town or touring bike. Comfortable & Easy to ride. Great for 300 to 400 k rides & keeps up with 400 & 600cc bikes fairly easily. A REAL VALUE FOR MONEY FIRST BIKE. If Loncin make other bigger bikes I will concider changing to one of them but till they do make bigger bikes I'll keep this one. Can't find anything that I can complain about.
