GPX/Pitster Pro has decided to come out with a line of full size motorcycles for 2019. In addition to an air cooled 250 4 stroke, a water cooled 250 and 450 four stroke, the line includes a 65, 85, and 250 (more like a 220) two stroke. The 250 is more of a KDX type bike, but in a Husqvarna clone chassis. It comes with electric start, oil injection, an electronic power valve, a six speed transmission, lights, and an enduro computer. I'm not a supporter of Chinese motorcycles, but Pitster usually puts out a decent product. The prices seem pretty high for a Chinese dirt bike, so they better be good quality.

Here is a big long thread on Adventure Rider that talks about the products:

Interesting that the 65 comes with linkage and the KTM it is based on does not.

Rocky Mountain did a review of this bike and came away impressed. It seems like the bike would be great as a buddy bike, or for chasing a youngster around on his 50 or 85. Kind of like a more modern KDX, but with MX suspension and electric start.

They've even started a page on their site with KTM and Husqvarna parts that will bolt on to upgrade a few problem areas they found in their tests (gas cap, filter cage, start switch).
