Minsk R250 - the king of Belarusian bikes

Time rushes forward, the world of motorcycle equipmentalso does not stand still. Let me introduce the novelty of the Belarusian motorcycle manufacturing plant - Minsk R250. It is an exact copy of the Megelli 250R, only the labels are replaced with new ones.

Speaking of Megelli, it is aproduct of the British motorcycle industry. Original units are designed and designed in Europe, and assembled in Asia. Speaking in general, the 250th motorcycle is sold worldwide under the Megelli brand. It is collected in China, while using Taiwan spare parts. Belarus has also established the production of such motorcycles for its market.

Representatives of Minsk-Moto announced that this bike will be sold in some countries under the brand of Minsk, and in others - under Megelli.

Minsk R250 is in fact no different from its colleague Megelli 250. It's nice here that for the price of $ 3700 in the CIS countries you can buy the same motorcycle as in Europe, for example, for $ 5000.

Scare away only the size of tires, which can rush at all speeds may be unsafe. You can also find fault with ergonomics, especially with the clips on the tank. However, everything in order.

Be careful, the aggressor on the road!

Motorcycle Minsk R250 has a rigid chassis thatcharacterizes it as an aggregate, aggressively leading itself on corners. After all, it was collected by Belarusians, not by the Chinese. It's a pity that they did not upgrade R250 R2, only copying all the shortcomings of the original.

However, a rigid chassis consisting of a steel"cells" and a spatial pendulum made of aluminum, makes a motorcycle a real aggressor when riding. He holds tight and looks like a real Japanese bike. The seat is hard and uncomfortable, which significantly reduces its credibility. The main claim in ergonomics is the pointed edges of the fairing, which are inconvenient for the knees. Maybe it's just for high-bikers?

Minsk P 250 has an unregulated plug and is equipped with Taiwan's mono-amortization system FastAce. Everything works fine, at least it functioned when testing on the track.

In this case, the motorcycle does not jerk or swing. However, when driving on Russian off roads, it can cause the biker inconvenience: tangible blows to the "fifth point" and hands. The remaining clips from the Megelli 250R on the track do not interfere much. However, in urban traffic jams and congestion may not be quite the place (with a constant turn of the rudder, then one way, then the other). But this problem is solved simply. It is enough to install short clips.

Sportbike Minsk R250 has good brakes withreinforced trunks and lobed discs. Supports work harshly and not as smoothly as, for example, from Brembo. But do not forget that this is not Dukati and not Honda.

Of course, they do not buy such a motorcycle,To ride around the village with a "snail" speed of 60 km / h. Therefore, it is worth to put strictly tires of the increased price range. This will not only improve the safety of the unit, but will also give confidence when riding the biker.

What to say? The motorcycle was a success, given its price. Therefore, do not strictly look at the flaws of the bike. They are few, they are compensated by the same cost of such equipment.
