Saul Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I must admit I do like the look of the X-Ride but what put me off was looking at one closely at Thor motorcycles. They have two there a white and a black. The black one sits in the porch which can be blown with a bit of weather during the day. There was rust on it everywhere, and as far as I know it has never been ridden in the rain or salt this rust is just from spending time under cover of the porch. Now I know you can deal with this I ran a Chinky 125 to commute on for 4 years and used a lot of ACF50, there was next to no rust on it when I sold it with 12k on the clock but I bought it for £700 in a box so I didn't expect much. For over 5k I would expect much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I bought one it would primarily be a winter bike so the finish is important. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Quote Edward Collings 2 hours ago (edited) Please save your money, this bike is built by a Chinese manufacturer called Shineray. I owned the Mash Trail 400, the faults with that bike are present on this bike. Mild steel painted black exhaust will rust very quickly and take many hours of your time cutting back and 're-painting to keep it presentable. The fast ace front forks (same on my 400) replacement parts can not be ordered easily in the UK and the chrome finish is very poor, one winter has left mine pitted and rusty. The spring rubs internally turning fork oil to dark mess within a few months of use. Ordering parts online Mash will not post any order below £150. The green zinc plating again will not last a winter. 5K is too much, the Royal Enfields, Zontes, and the Indian built KTM's/Husqvarna are far superior and you actually get parts (not talking about accessories). I've owned mine for 3 years, I paid £1000, if this bike was £3000-£4000 it's still only a maybe Show less I reckon that's an interesting review. I am sure you could run a Mash it would just need more attention than you would probably want to give a winter hack. Budget for a compressor and buy ACF50 or similar by the gallon. You could get a Honda CL500 for £500 more. Or get a really nice low miles Dominator, XT, DR, KL or even MZ Mastiff if it had to be a single with some time and effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but, if you get a CL500 then you have to be prepared to do bum sex. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 What puts me off is the very short service intervals of 2,500 miles with a valve check every 3,000 miles. For that reason they can rammit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
