Model Overview
At first glance, the brainchild of the famous company Shineray turned out pretty good in terms of its parameters. However, the whole trouble is that the technical characteristics of the Patron Sport 250 fade greatly against the background of many shortcomings that this motorcycle has. Perhaps it is worth starting with the fact that the foot for the brake pedal is just a small steel bar, which is not very convenient. The width of the upper bridge along with the steering wheel was also too large at 810 mm. The main frame of this motorcycle is completely steel with distinct steel elements. The small design behind the passenger seat does not look too nice. Although it serves as a convenience, being handles for the passenger, but, since the Patron Sport 250 positions itself as a sport bike, it is not very appropriate there.
The rest of the set seems pretty good. The motorcycle clearance is only 130 mm, which is nice for a sport bike. The wheels have a three-spoke mount, and the seat is clearly divided into front and rear. The rear tire is quite wide; The front brake disc has a diameter of 280 mm.
Motorcycle performance
In order to describe some of the nuances of starting and running this motorcycle, it is worth comparing it with his younger brother, the Sport 150. The first and positive difference in the direction of the Patron Sport 250 is that it did not fall sideways at the moment when it starts . The 150s have such a problem when the driver just takes the wheel. The 250th model not only does not have such a flaw, it also has a central stand, which is extremely rare for sports bikes. The motor part of the Patron Sport 250 is already a newer generation. The type of motor installed is more modern - top-mounted, but only because of this you should not expect anything unexpected from him, since he is nevertheless a two-valve. In fact, it became clear that the declared capacity of 250 cubic meters does not correspond to reality. The motorcycle has a maximum of 233 cubic meters.
What else can please this model, is the fact that the footboards are placed very back, and the steering wheel is set quite low. Both of these components together create an inclined fit. It is also worth noting that the gears switch intelligently and smoothly. The calculation was done very well, since if the motor turned out to be a bit more turnaround, then a sixth gear would have been needed, and everything looks very balanced.
