Fast-forward to 2018 and we have with us the Motorhead (Fuego) Tekken 250: a dual sport motorcycle from the Chinese manufacturers that, at first look, appears to be a strong, good-looking contender. A motorcycle that is deceptively striking; so much so, that an eager youngster could easily obsess over it.
Quite the reverse, the Tekken is as eager to take on off road terrain, as a lazy fat kid is eager to go on morning runs. For a dual sport, the suspensions are horridly stiff and off road rides will take a toll on your body. The only saving graces are it’s tall riding stance and knobby tyres that work well when the asphalt ends.
Much like the Daelim VT Evolution at its time, the Tekken 250 impersonates a rugged, purpose-built dual sport. But to a more experienced eye, certain aesthetic glitches stick out like a sore thumb. Nevertheless, it is entirely possible that many will fall prey to Tekken’s appeal. And, to be honest, for a motorcycle manufactured in China, it is robustly built and distinctly alluring. More importantly, for a 250cc dual-sport motorcycle priced at Rs.3,50,000, all the niggles seem less prominent. Hence, completing the deception and shining out like a true star.
