Member Gardo bought Tha Heist from CCW, IIRC.

They have an interesting lineup; I like Tha Hooligun. It's unlike any China bike I've seen.

There's some confusion over the Hooligun as the pictures show two different engines and slightly different bodywork. You have to dig a little to find the one intended for the US. The Suzuki based one is the Qingqi 250.

This one has the Honda clone, not for US;

This one is from Qingqi for the US;

Funny about the spelling...especially when they spell it correctly under the name.

Sorry, I meant Tha Misfit. That's the one that is unique in the CB world.

Maybe they`re similar, but tha Misfit looks more authentic to me. maybe it`s the spoked wheels.

got to see the Hooligan in person looks pretty nice, not my type of ride, but pretty nice indeed. Some of the guys put the bike through its paces and tested it out.

the Misfit was taller than I expected but has a nice seat base, and that kickstart was pretty cool.

I have the tha Heist which I've slowly been transforming and customizing over the few weeks

the Widow is almost where I want her, just swapped the mirrors added an axle mount vertical right side tag holder, and a few little cosmetics, Black dice with red dot valve stem covers and plate bolts. May swap the marker lights for little LEDs to clean it up a bit more

That is a very clean, simple, good looking motorcycle. You can really be proud of it.

Thanks Doc, she's my pretty much my first bike. My vision of her is almost done. Now if the weather would warm up I can start riding her more often

My taste is for dual sport motorcycles, but I think you have a very nice bike, Gardo. 8) I am very pleased to see how well the 250cc engine performs for you. :)

P.S. CCW has a nice website, and great products. :) However, somebody over there needs to learn how to spell! :lol:
