One of the most budget-friendly 250cc-class motorcycles on the market is the Titan 250 DLX listed for sale by XProUSA for $1,699.95. While XProUSA lists this motorcycle as a dirt bike, it has mirrors, turn signals, a horn, headlight, and tail light necessary to make it street legal in most states other than California. Operation in California is inadvisable since it is not CARB (California Air Resource Board) compliant.
The Titan 250 DLX uses a single cylinder 232.6cc Zongshen engine. The four-stroke, air-cooled motor requires little maintenance beyond periodically cleaning and lubricating the drive chain and changing the engine oil and filters. While its manual shift transmission and clutch may require a learning curve, the Titan 250 DLX offers electric start for convenience and a manual kick-start in case the battery tries to leave you stranded.
As a full-size motorcycle, the Titan 250 DLX has a 34.6-inch seat height, a 231-pound net weight, and is capable of going over 60 mph. With online ordering and free shipping, the Titan offers five color options, black, orange, blue, red, and green, but will require uncrating and some assembly. One reviewer completed the assembly process in just a couple of hours without any help.
