EC250F vs EC250 Cami

[billybob69]

Hi all,

I?m looking for a replacement for my Honda CRF230F and a considering a circa. 2014 Gasser.

As I?m relatively short (5ft 6?) and light, a bike that has a lower seat height and is relatively light is a definite bonus for me.

Initially the Cami seemed ideal for me, but I do get nervous about the Chinese made engine (from what I can tell it is made by a company called Zongshen). Are there any UK based Cami owners on the forum - have you ever needed to order any engine parts and did you experience any difficulties in getting them?

Then I started to look at the EC250F. Again it looked good as it has a Yamaha WR250F engine in it, but it seems that it has slightly longer forks and shocks which takes the seat height to 960mm ? making it one of the tallest greenlaners on the market. However it is much lighter at 108kg.

Any feedback of the Cami vs the EC250F is much appreciated.

One last question; am I right in thinking that the frame, plastics, auxiliaries etc are likely to be the same across the 2014 4s range?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
