I'd call and make sure they actually have them in stock. Seems everyone is out of Storms. Its a shame Super Scooter doesn't have them their price is $1400 delivered.

If you look at the fine print on Superiorpowersports they mention:

"Availability: In stock soon. Order now to get in line. First come first served."

So they don't have them, either.

That's what I figured. If nobody has them by mid October I'm going with a hawk. I'm a divorced dad with two kids, my budget is tight and I shouldn't even be spending $1400. I'm trying to justify it to myself with gas savings since I commute 44 miles round trip everyday.

Yeah, storm already has the street sprocket setup. That's what impressed me.

Dude, you need to bite the bullet and go a head and get the rx3 if you are truly going for the commute thing. It will be far more comfortable. Your experience with the rx3 will encourage to stay with the m.c. commute. Sell some stuff, save , throw some boxes at ups in the mornings and you will have the cash in no time. What does it take, like $4200 out the door, right?

I commuted 33 miles a day on my TMEC 200--year round. I commute on my 150cc TGB scooter today, but have been thinking of getting a Hawk or Magician, or the Brozz for commuting duties. Or to cross off my bucket list riding from Yuma to Cabo San Lucas on a cheap Chinese motorcycle

I guess my thinking is that if I had a rx3 just sitting there, I would be more inclined to commute with it versus just a Cheapo dirt bike.

Please, no double barrel response

Been there. If you don't do it for yourself, no one else will....and in my case, if the X finds out you have extra, she'll take it anyway. Just make sure in advance you can register the Hawk where you live. Be nothing worse than spending the money that you scrape together just to have it sit.

Most generic Hondoid parts (brakes, cables, throttles, carbs, etc...) can be purchased online from places like Amazon or EBay.

Plastics can often be found at Taobao; there is an excellent tutorial on this site about that.

The Shark has standard forks and looks like a single piston front brake, its price is $1,558.00 delivered.
The Brozz has inverted front forks and looks like a twin piston front brake, that’s $100.00 more.
The fender and headlight, some body parts are different.
Both have a digital tach speedometer combo, that has a gear position indicator.
I did not check but I believe both of these made by Bashan have the FMVSS decal and EPA certificates for on the road use. The TT250 is what $1,100.00 more?
The Hawk and Magician are cheapest, however neither, so I have read, have the FMVSS decal and may not have an EPA on the road certification either? In that depending on which state you’re in you could end up with a motorcycle you cannot get a license plate for.

I can verify that if you assemble the rear of the Hawk yourself there are two stickers on the cargo area. One says Made in China, the other says Off Road Use Only. Thankfully Oklahoma doesn't care about any of that as long as it has lights, mirrors, etc.
