Ive done a lot of research on this brand and others like Kayo and EGL and this bike is by far better build and performance wise way better than the other less expensive brands . So I will purchase this bike in the very near future
I have seen a few videos on the GPX and the owners and riders tend to say good things about them, so in my books I would definitely consider buying one, I am a weekend warrior and not a professional by any means, this from a price point will offer tons of riding pleasure at a great value!
It’s the best value for people who are sick of buying 10 yr old Japanese bikes that need to be rebuilt before you can enjoy it That’s where I was at anyway I couldn’t find a clean xr250 or 400 so I bought the gpx and I love it
@@AdvOutlaw I totally agree, my RM 125 is going to be my bike for this year, but really considering a GPX when I am ready, I love to get a Husqvarna TC150i, but the price point is on the high end for the type of rider I am.
Great video. We all have to stop saying: "... 10 grand..." They're not 10 grand. They're $11,999 with a thousand dealer add on. With the supply shortages, you're not walking out of that dealer for under $13 grand! That puts this bike at almost 1/3 the cost. That's just too much of a difference. I think I have to buy one.

Riding the 5spd 250E here in Pennsylvania, the off road park that I hit it really gets some looks. Quite a few times while I take breaks at the truck or on the trail people will ask me about the brand. There have been a ton of mixed reactions to it, the majority definitely being snobby or skeptical.
first ride I went on i had several people asking questions and they were skeptical for sure, but i just tell them to do there own research if they don't believe me.
The graphics are actually made for the gpx fse/tse bikes You would need to call decal works and ask for Sean, he can tell you how to design your graphics and order them
How flexible are the plastics? How reliable is the stator and other electrical parts? How about gasket or seal leaks? How about linkage bearings tightness?
Plastics are the same as a 2021 ktm I haven’t had any issues with electrical or any seaks leaking I have had to do wheel bearings but that’s normal wear and tear
I feel the light colored fender with lights. My 2013 xk450 I put a light on with my lime green fender and it glares pretty good lol. If I buy a brand new 450 having a street legal one would be pretty freakin cool. Especially for the price
I would still recommend it over a used ktm I had to many issues with my ktm I have a friend who has a ktm loaded with problems and he’s selling it and considering a fse250e like mine
@@AdvOutlaw cool the problem with these gxpro bikes is nobody seems to have a really high mileage one. There are rumors they start falling apart. I'm a husaberg fan and was going to get a used te250 but it's hard to find one with low hours in good condition.
Iv heard of people having problems registering them in California and Alaska But if your in a state that won’t register it, you can go the South Dakota route and it’s still 100% legal
Just tell them if Honda made a new updated XR250 or XR400 you would buy one, but they dont so you got the next best thing. That is what im gonna tell my riding friends.
I was all about GPX.... I rode it hard with the brand name bike my buddies have... I was all about keeping up with them and riding every place they could ride. For the first few months(after replacing the shock and ECU that were bad out of the crate) all was going well. Then the issues started to pop up.. electricals, suspension, brakes and ECU.... I lost 3 months of riding chasing down these issues. As nice as these bikes appear, they nothing but a cheap Chinese copy... The frames and engines might be decent but everything hung off them is not what it appears to be. If you think your saving money buying these bikes, think again.... you're going to pay sooner than later in dollars and aggravation. I purchased a Husqvarna TE is to replace the GPX and I'll tell you flat out the quality of every single part is miles above a GPX... You get what you pay for in this world.
Iv seen a few guys unhappy with there gpx bike but most of them have been fuel injected bikes I have been nothing but happy with my 250E It’s old school technology, air cooled with a simple carburetor
@@AdvOutlaw Sorry for the negative post, but I'm soured on GTX right now. My FSE really let me down. Plus I'm in a large community of riders, most of them thought nothing good of China bikes but started coming around when they saw what it could do. Then its crap quality started to show in less than a season of use. I had to eat-it on this, for months they were all out riding while I was stuck in the shed pulling apart the bike fixing problem after problem. Damn embarrassing, really 🤨
@@AdvOutlaw , The only real problem I have heard with the GPX bikes are related to the oil injected 2 stroke...and they have moved away from that for 2021.5 model to a straight oil gas mix in the tank version. It is hard to find someone who does not like their 4 stokes.
Yea I also heard about the oil injection, every machine iv ever had with oil injection iv deleted it I had blasters with oil injection and a jet ski, I even deleted on my boat. The 4 strokes are rock solid tho
its a dirt bike seat, its the same as any ktm or honda iv ever had, its not great and its not terrible. if you plan on sitting for hrs on end buy a seat concepts seat
They are cheap brittle pieces of crap. You hit a rock hard enough the forks will bend. Or the linkage will pop. Or even the frame might crack. The engines are terrible aswell. Very cheap parts. And sorry but no one should respect a clone bike.
Ive done a lot of research on this brand and others like Kayo and EGL and this bike is by far better build and performance wise way better than the other less expensive brands . So I will purchase this bike in the very near future
Did you get it?
I have a GPX 250e and my jerk neighbor drives a Harley and always laughs when he sees my bike. 2 different breeds of bikes.

I ordered graphics from decal works, they are 2-3 weeks out

How do you feel about that 4 deg. timing key?
Hey bud can you tell me what aftermarket fork guards fit these! And we’re did you get yours?? Didn’t see it in your description
Sorry man I see it now I just didn’t see a link!! But there on the same site
I love my GPX250 tse. Parts are easy to get and inexpensive. I enjoy other rider asking me , what is that? 😎
I forgot for the fender, if u like white, u can put a fender bag on, like the ones they sale for holding tools or inter tubes.
Can you tell us which tusk shifter you purchased? In other words for what bike?
I feel the light colored fender with lights. My 2013 xk450 I put a light on with my lime green fender and it glares pretty good lol. If I buy a brand new 450 having a street legal one would be pretty freakin cool. Especially for the price
Can a recluse auto clutch be installed on these bikes?
I don’t know, that would be a good question for joe henner or call recluse and ask them
Yes....from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠🇺🇸p.s stay safe
@@billallen4793 which motor do I need to reference for the recluse?
Where do you get replacement parts for these? I'm looking at the new 450 Rally!
Directly from gpx out of Utah
They have awesome customer service and usually get parts to my door in 3-4 days sometimes 2
@@AdvOutlaw who's cool! Is the plastic the same quality as the Japanese bikes?
Yes, you can use ktm replacement plastics for them too
@@AdvOutlaw hmm ok cool, the rally is a unique design though, but at least they use good plastic.
Yea they haven’t released a delivery date for the rally edition yet but they are very cool
Would you still recommend this over a used ktm?
No

There’s a hand full of guys with thousands of miles and 100+ hrs on them with no issues

Good idea about light reflecting of front fender.
Class vid dint forget they is a lot of vanity in peeps who have ktm en husky lol
Only bad thing I said about ktm was that kickstand and they are overpriced
Is it a factory dual sport? Meaning street legal in All 50?
