New 2020 GPX Legend 250cc twin
Re: New 2020 GPX Legend 250cc twin
Twin discs up front seems overkill.. but apt for the weight of the bike, and it may have to stop in a hurry for the buffalo or now the red lights, sorry another thread. Air cooled 4stroke twin, nice retro looks of like they say of the 80s, with a few trick modern parts. Its those parts that make me think do they work! Such has the upside-down forks, do those parts have the quality or are they a little gimmickry, I thought the same with my Honda MSX. No they work well, there not Ohlin's or Showa Products, but the price is not too. I have noticed some manufactured parts from Malaysia are of good quality, more so motorcycle shocks.Yerg wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 1:05 amI'd be inclined to agree on the resale issues Clutch. I know you thought double discs might be overkill, but on Cambodia roads might make a difference between life and death?? Does it have ABS?clutchcargo wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 10:17 pmYeah, the fact that GPX has been around a while gives some confidence unlike Stallion for example. Then again, whilst there are 2 shops (1 as per khmer24 above and another one @GPX Cambodia on FB with a store on Norodom and another one at Aeon 2)..I don't see many actually on the roads. So to my mind resale values could be poor. OTOH good luck getting an equivalent from the main stream brands for under $3k.
It's an attractive bike, not my personal cup of tea, but certainly looks like it could withstand the daily rigours of Khmer-living.
I agree with Yerg should handle Cambodia well, but too be honest its not like it will get near the top speed very often, if ever.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Yeah, sure Yerg the more braking power the better for safety..the specs don't mention ABS so have to assume no. I only said that coz I associated double disks with more powerful motos.Yerg wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 1:05 amI'd be inclined to agree on the resale issues Clutch.

I like the look of it...bit of old school mixed with cafe racer. Out of interest, I've always liked the classic style of the Estrella and saw this yesterday https://www.khmer24.com/en/motorcycles/ ... 59375.html Check the price! Import from Japan..

Inclined to agree if kept long enough altho I've seen many Vespas for example over the years, new over $3k and owners try to sell them for $1.5k after only a few years. Khmers don't seem to wanna touch anything exotic so you end up with only barangs as potential buyers.

Indeed, but let's face it if you're mainly running around town, I would think it's about the look and a bit of fun thrown in with the extra acceleration etc.
That aside, for sheer practicality a scooter is the go with auto, a hook for your shopping bags and less likely to be noticed by the local constabulary
