The fuel gauge is electronic so gives a readout from green down to red, but mine always drops to red after two weeks, even though you can hear the fuel sloshing about inside, so not sure if this is just mine or a general issue. There is a little mobile icon as well that flashes when your mobile is ringing, however it isn't linked to your own phone, it just seems to pick up signals, so it flashed occasionally for no reason, and can be off putting.
The bike is great to ride on the roads. Cornering can be difficult as it is a big bike and doesn't lean very well, so you need to take corners slow, but otherwise it rides smooth.
It really could do with a 6th gear though as I find it rides best when in 5th at 30mph, and when I rev up to 40 the engine roars and you can feel it vibrate. I haven't taken it up to top speed yet, but I reckon I'd be lucky to get 50 out of it, but then I am a big lad.
The big does get lots of admiring glances, and a few 'Chinese bike' comments, but the build quality is good, lots of chrome, it feels well put together and not flimsy. Produced by Brighton-based Sinnis, but manufactured in China, the Trackstar is a cheap, trendy cc alternative to the CG or the Virago.
Sinnis use more or less the same design across their range and it seems to do the job perfectly well. Vibration becomes quite off-putting and uncomfortable at the top end of the rev-range, but cruising at 55mph is perfectly smooth in fifth gear. Quality is good for a budget bike, though it is obviously built for affordability, not luxury. To keep the warranty valid they ask that you have one service at miles and another at miles.
By trying to prove to the world that Chinese built bikes can be as reliable and attractive as their Japanese or European rivals, Sinnis have given themselves a difficult job. However, with such aggressive pricing, and a bargain little product, they might just be on the verge of doing it single-handed.
Find a Sinnis for sale. The retro styling is cute and appealing, with a pleasing little speedo, digital gear indicator and comfy stitched seat. The mirrors are large and well placed and the electric start is welcome. Worth investigating if all of the above sounds tempting. Motorcycle insurance costs are an important consideration for any bike buyer. Read what they have to say and what they like and dislike about the bike below. As far as Chinese bikes go this is my favourite.
The sitting position is perfect, it's not too high so less crosswind issues compared to my mates. Best features are the looks of it, it draws you in with its retro style. The worst thing is the electrics, this is almost a 5 star bike but I had continuous issues with headlight bulbs blowing and then one bulb arched the high beam to the low beam and burnt my electric out, I purchased a brand new headlight, Speedo and rewired half the bike but sadly it's still off the road right now.
The electrics with vibration from the bike at top end really let's it down. Brakes are adequate for the bike, rear a little spongy but it's drum that's how they are. Ride quality is great to 60mph but then vibration becomes apparent and overall control feels reduced. This little Suzuki GN derived engine is spot on. Reliable to no end. Will happily sit 65mph and will slowly climb to 70 where it still doesn't feel as if it's struggling or maxed out but you know it's got nothing left to give.
The Challenger. With classic contours and a timeless design, the new Hoodlum reflects the everlasting essence of cruising and the spirit of the ride. Ready for the open road, the Hoodlum is here to meet the daily challenges of urban commuting with ease. EnhanCed Riding. Hoodlum Leather accessories. Being a first bike I have nothing to compare it too but the CG I rode for my CBT in December, and I was too nervous to pay much attention to the handling of the CG, so my review is based on my thoughts alone.
The bike is BIG! It weighs kg empty and with me on top it hits kg, so if your looking for a speed demon you're not going to want a Vista. That said, if you're looking for a comfortable laid back cruiser, then the Vista is for you. The seat is very comfy, I always joke that it's like riding an armchair. The fuel gauge is electronic so gives a readout from green down to red, but mine always drops to red after two weeks, even though you can hear the fuel sloshing about inside, so not sure if this is just mine or a general issue.
