Holy crap! 46¥ thats just under $7 that's a good deal!


As for the Bashan Enforcer, it seems to be a great bike, almost identical to the hawk, and it's suppose to be easier to register. Its 17-46 ratio is definitely gear for street use, but is acceptable for offroading. I bought mine for mostly off road use so I'm going to swap the 17 to a 15, and it comes with very aggressive knobbies.

Although if you are looking for mostly on road riding and budget isn't a huge factor then I'd probably recommend the slightly pricier storm or the brozz, something with the counterbalanced engine.
I think I still have bookmarked a site selling the Storm for $1200+shipping I would have gone for that except I wanted the bigger wheels and aggressive knobbies.

I'll have to hunt them down on an old hard drive.

I'll post as soon as I find them.

Yeah...I'm narrowing it down to the Storm, Brozz and the Enforcer..for now.

The place in Mesa, AZ that carries them is out of stock. I'm gonna call them to see when they will have more bikes in and inquire about the Brozz and Enforcer.

I may have to order, if they don't get them in any time soon..not that I'm in a huge rush.

So, if I have to order one, who's the best to deal with as far as honesty, integrity , no hassles, etc...?

Thanks, all.

The Brozz is almost sold out. The last few are green. What about the Shark? Spec'd like the Brozz (same engine, gearing, wheels, etc) but has standard forks and is priced about $100 less. The Hawk is still one great buy, but does need upgrade(s); namely the carb. Gearing for the street unless you intend on climbing Half Dome. The Enforcer is, as Goldilocks would say, "just right." All the goodies of the Hawk, but has a better stock carb and is geared like the Brozz; but looks like the Hawk.

I have seen that before. What i was told is that is basically a hawk with inverted forks. It seems to also have the 19/17 wheel combo.

This is identical to the Storm and has the counter balanced engine.

Mine is supposed to ship from there today and I was told (last week) they only had red and green. The Red has grown on me but I really wanted orange. Who knows

It is a Bashan Storm that Don renamed. Motobuys did the same with their Storm.

Unless Superior bought some and is storing them, these are the last of the last at Kandi USA, the US distributor. Alan Tang of Excalibur told me after being at Kandi.

Is APSCUSA reliable and honest to deal with?

Who else is good when it comes to ordering a bike? I don't want any BS when it comes to getting the bike and paperwork.

Thanks!
