Brief information about the manufacturer

Baltmotors is a source of pride for lovers of domestic technology. Finally, in Russia they decided to revive the motorcycle industry and start producing their own bikes, rather than buying them from China or Japan.

Motorcycle Baltmotors Motard 200 - Russian-made equipment

The first assembly production of “iron horses” in the Russian Federation was launched in 2004 in Kaliningrad. The Baltmotors company initially focused on Western technologies, taking into account the geographical location of the subject, but later adapted them to the Russian consumer. Therefore, many of their motorcycle models have no analogues. They use Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, German and Italian components.

Thanks to the attractive price-quality ratio, Baltmotors bikes are among the top 10 in terms of sales volumes in Russia; the manufacturer is among the top three that assemble their own bikes. The plant annually produces about 10 thousand new motorcycles of various classes, scooters and ATVs.

At the rear there is a monoshock absorber that can be adjusted, and a progressive spring is installed. Fans of enduro riding will appreciate the 17-inch alloy wheels equipped with shock-proof sides.

There is an option to contact the manufacturing company or visit Kaliningrad in person - there is something to see there.

Before boarding for the first time, be sure to check that the package is complete and that the seller has not forgotten any necessary items. It's best to sign up for a test drive.

Check the adjustment of the throttle cable nuts, the condition and functionality of the throttle, and see if the nuts are falling out.

If everything is in place, go home with peace of mind. Subsequently, the bike can be modified; many people try to increase the power, play tricks with the suspension, change tires and lighting devices. Nobody canceled tuning, especially since everything is in stock. Take the time to visit specialized spare parts stores, which are found in almost every city.

The motorcycle has a low price and spare parts are available

Repair and tuning

The structurally simple Baltmotors Street 125 DD is easy to repair and maintain. For obvious reasons, there is no specialized tuning for it, but there are plenty of universal Chinese-made options.

Repair

Any beginner can understand the design of the bike; it is very simple and at the same time logical from a design point of view. Even without a manual, you can assemble and disassemble it right in the garage, if only you had the tools, straight arms and desire. Maintenance is even less difficult.

Spare parts

This is a headache for all owners of Baltmotors Street 125. Even when the bike was released, dealers had almost no spare parts in stock, and sometimes it took several months to wait for them to order. Now, years after the model was discontinued, many components are completely impossible to find on sale, so you have to look for them “by hand.”

Tuning

Usually, owners of the Street 125DD are limited to minor cosmetic changes - grips, footpegs, stickers and similar little things. This is partly due to the reluctance to invest money in a cheap motorcycle that will be sold in a season or two, and partly due to the lack of need to tune it. He's pretty good anyway.

Review and technical characteristics of the BM 250 enduro

The low power of the “two hundred” is not enough for many, so Baltmotors has launched production of the BM 250 enduro.

The motorcycle underwent a number of changes, the chain, sprockets and tires were improved, and the model became one of the best in its class.

The plastic on enduro is stronger and looks richer, the frame and chassis remain unchanged. The brakes have undergone minor changes: a two-piston hydraulic caliper has appeared on the rear instead of a single-piston one.

The engine was radically corrected, in addition to the increased cubic capacity, an updated crankcase was installed, the mounting “ears” to the frame were strengthened, and the shaft was balanced. The model has 21 horsepower, weight – 142 kg. This option is more suitable for experienced rather than novice drivers or teenagers.

For heavy loads and the ability to perform stunts and ride off-road, an aluminum diagonal frame is made. The telescopic adjustable fork allows the bike to be used in motocross racing.

Enduro models feature better handling and maneuverability, which is important for the city, as well as improved suspension for mountainous terrain, mud and sand. Fuel consumption is slightly higher than in its fellow chopper - 4.5 liters per 100 km, which is also very economical.

Baltmotors is dynamic and easy to use

Pros and cons of Baltmotors Street 200 DD

Advantages

• Confident traction at low and medium speeds , and generally good acceleration dynamics by the standards of the class.
• Design . The bike looks like a real “adult” device. There is none of the usual Chinese cheapness in his appearance.
• Modern pendants . They work quite well even with a passenger.
• Great brakes , better than almost any other bike in the same price range.

Flaws

• Weak headlight . On unlit night roads it is noticeably lacking.
• Heavy weight . The weight of Baltmotors Street 200 is about 140 kg, which is a little too much for a small-capacity vehicle.
• The starter is located at the front, in front of the engine, and when it rains, all the water from under the short front fender flies into it.

Approximate price of models

A brand new enduro from a Kaliningrad company can be bought for about 180 thousand rubles. Owned equipment will, of course, be cheaper. It’s quite possible to buy a used “200” for around 100 thousand. The main thing is not to miscalculate and compare price and quality, pay attention to the technical characteristics of the motorcycle, mileage, and its external condition. Ask the previous owner about what he used the bike for, how often he changed consumables, and how carefully he looked after his equipment.

It is unlikely that you will remain in the black if you buy junk. In addition, the prices for Baltmotors bikes are quite affordable.

In June 2021, in Moscow, a 2014 Baltmotors Motard 250 off-road enduro with a mileage of 1,000 km can be purchased from its first owner for 80 thousand rubles. For the same money, the model is sold in St. Petersburg, only the year of manufacture is 2012, and the mileage is 4,500 km. A “200” of the same year will cost 65 thousand rubles, a resident of the Moscow region sells the motorcycle after 4200 km. “The motorcycle is ideal for a beginner, it forgives mistakes. Suitable for both off-road riding and city driving. The motorcycle has enduro tires (40% asphalt/60% off-road),” he wrote in the ad.
