Review
The 2020 California Scooter TT 250 is a dual-sport motorcycle designed for riders seeking an affordable and versatile machine for both on and off-road riding. Its 229.5cc engine produces 18.3 Nm of torque at 5500 RPM, providing adequate power for a range of terrains. The five-speed gearbox allows for smooth and easy gear changes, making it accessible for riders of varying experience levels. A top speed of 96.6 km/h (60.0 mph) suggests its strength lies in slower, more technical riding environments. The TT 250 is equipped with inverted telescopic front forks (48mm upper, 37mm lower), offering improved handling and stability compared to standard forks, particularly on uneven surfaces. The single front disc brake provides sufficient stopping power. With a seat height of 864 mm (34.0 inches), it caters to taller riders, providing good visibility and ground clearance for off-road obstacles. The 10.98-liter fuel tank limits its range, making it better suited for shorter trips or areas with readily available fuel. This motorcycle is aimed at riders who want to explore diverse riding environments without a significant financial investment. Its manageable power and lightweight design make it a good option for beginners or those looking for a practical and budget-friendly dual-sport. It's a solid choice for exploring local trails and backroads without sacrificing on-road usability.
