Hello delayed intro

[XRoToR]

Hello everyone - Out of boredom in the middle of the pandemic I purchased this Tinbot Chinese emoto as an experiment without high expectations.. I have always been a liter bike rider (30+ years) But this bike is much lighter and just easier to handle. While my Honda looks better and is just way more motorcycle the Tinbot has held up surprising well. I have put 5K on it this past year without any significant problems. I also ride it in all weather conditions and leave the liter bike at home when it looks like rain or sleet.

Anyway I realize I am more of a street rider but I have enjoyed how light and relatively fast this thing is so here are a few pics. The bike weights just 220lbs and has top speed of 95kph but will keep up with any car off the line to about 60kph. Not a CBR1000rr but still fun on the street. Also very smooth at low throttle to compensate for lack of clutch control.

You guys with real dual sports - let me know what you think.

It would interesting to see how it performed off road with some knobbies

You can order it with normal full size spoked wheels, dual sport tires, and a chain drive to replace the toothed belt. I don't think the belt drive would hold up to off-road dirt and gravel contamination. On the other hand it has done 5000 kms so far of maintenance free street duty and it still looks new.
