I average about 55-60mpg, but this figure has increased over engine break-in, and includes my commute which is terrible for fuel economy. Western Pennsylvania is not short of hills, and the engine deals with everything with little complaint. The power band is sweet, and considering it’s a relatively unsophisticated single, it’s very smooth. There’s only around sixteen horses, and about 18nm of torque at 5.5k rpm, but there’s more to it than the numbers. The engine, an air-cooled 229cc single, is absolutely superb. Cold and wet, a typical morning commute for the TT250. Some fasteners inevitably dulled, but this is no different from my Kawasaki (which I rode through last winter) and generally speaking I am pleasantly surprised how durable this bike is. The finish is excellent the frame shows little aggravation from the ravages of winter, though I was decidely liberal with my application of anti-corrosion ACF-50 spray. It’s surely a sign that I often choose to ride the bike on my commute over my Ninja 300. I’d gambled on the TT250 being a dependable winter warrior, and thus far it has done well. The bike held up well over Winter, and between the endless rain and salt, winter is a harsh environment for machinery. I’d put on around one-thousand miles on the CSC TT250 as the first green spots started to emerge on the the Pennsylvania woodlands. The background to my decision to get a TT250 is here.
