Technically, it's designed by Italians, in Italy, in cooperation with Italjet. Then built by the Chinese and sold in many countries. In some it's sold as an Italjet. In the US, it's sold as an SSR Buccaneer 250i (standard version) or 250C (Cafe). I got the cafe version!
I've been hankering for a small bike lately. I miss my (stolen) TW200, and this was loitering around the dealership as a left-over 2017, and deeply discounted. I paid $3203 out the door! For a brand new motorcycle!
It's got a Lifan clone of the Virago 250 motor, and this little thing runs great! I'm still in the break-in period, obviously, but I'm having a total blast on it. It's a lot different from the SCR. It's just a hair shorter at 31" seat height, but it has miles more ground clearance and cornering clearance. It does come with similar 80/20 dual sport tires, a headlight guard, a skid plate, and adventure pegs with removable rubber inserts all stock. It's a fun little around-town bike, and I'm having a blast on it.
Also... the stock seat is comfortable for 2 hours in the saddle without getting the squirms.
I'm happy!
