Here is my take on the GPX. If the big 5 would make an air cooled 250 or 300 4 stroke like the old XR's with electric starting and trail worthy suspension. I would buy one even if it were in the 6k range. Im almost 60 the GPX is the right bike for me, Im gonna do some duel sports and a few GNCC's in the trail riders class just to ride some good trails. So for those who say they rip off the big 5 yep with what 20yr old motor tech and updated chassies. Im ok with it.In business if you do not provide what the consumer wants someone else will do it. ever had to rebuild a top end on a WR250, I have and it cost almost as much as half of buying this bike. Just the way I see it. I started in 1973, I have owned every one of the big 5 bikes at one time or the other. Raced all over this part of the country and I just want a simple motor with fun power delivery this bike gives me what i want.
I completely agree! The value is great, the bike has better suspension than a xr250 and has electric start I’d be curious to see the weight comparison But gpx is the bike for me
Nice video and a good talk on the way...great wheelie, can't get mine ( Orion RXB250 ) up like that . Volume was okay for about 3/4 of video..then I just turned it up some...I struggle with audio all the time.
I love the price of this bike. I'm debating this or spending more for the TSE 250R. Do you find the 250E lacking in power at all? I'd really like to have another 2 stroke after all of these years of riding 4 strokes. Is there any chance of gators being in those deeper holes? I've only been to Florida a hand full of times and those trips were all to Daytona Beach.
The 250E is an awesome bike, the power is very linear, lots of grunt down low I love riding a 2 stroke, but not on long road days I haven’t seen a lot of gators in my area, I’m way up near Alabama, most gators around here are 4-5 feet at most
Check out the TSE250R on Hard Enduro channel here on youtube. He did a freaking awesome job with the graphics. Do the desert tan plastics. Black will cause all the lines to blur together and it will not look good.
I've got grey plastics sitting on couple of wish lists.... My FSE-R has so much "character" now its hard to want to change 🤣😂 Okay, seriously, I can't bring myself to spend money on cosmetics for my dirt bike, I know its going to get F-ed up on the next ride, so I'll just save my money for what I need to keep the bike running.

Bike sounds good without the baffle Good video. Thinking of getting an e or the 300. Wish there was a 300e.
Also I think u should go with TAN for your plastics. With black graffics.

@@AdvOutlaw Thanks for the reply, appreciate your knowledge of the E.

Yea iv been following his channel, his bike looks great!
What was the result of your fork seals, and rear shock? Forgot if u had the issue with the rear, lots of GPX do
I haven’t had an issue with either one yet, I had trouble dialing my forks in but iv finally got them set how I like it
Black & Tan all the way! Nice bike!
