    He fucked it up with the muffler

    Awesome styles, but dont agree with the can.
    Sounds better at idle, a bit more throaty, but rev it and it's still a GN.
    Other than blacking out the exhaust pipe, not much more to reach perfection (if that's your style)

    It's my style, steve told me.

    He was wearing business socks when he said it too.

    I knew it was on.

    That thought had crossed my mind as well, you do have to admit some has done a pretty good job bar the exhaust

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    That is nice - would be awesome with a little supertrapp though.
    There is also a guy on Bikepics who has converted one of those Zhongshengs into a Cafe.
    Linky!
    Good to see cafe's come back up through the 250 ranks.
    But then again once you go 400+ its hard to step back and find it worth while

    Sounds like a standard gutless GN250.

    Looks alright apart from that odd pipe, should have a dunstall style megaphone I reckon.

    It really is a pity about that muffler.

    Liking the paint, exhaust... not so much.

    Mmmm reverse cone megaphone.

    At the end of the day thought its a single cylinder 250. I tried to make mine sound good, never could.
