you can borrow my pick up... of course you'd have to swing by connecticut to grab it. Tolls and gas would run you $700.

I was thinking of going after it, but I have too many bikes, no room and the round trip is about 5 hours. I told a friend about it, he won't make the drive. He would rather sink money into junk KTM's LOL.

The Apollo I have has a good engine, but the rest is junk. That bike looks good and is already registered, so it could save tons of time and money. Thing is, I already have my heart set on putting the Apollo engine into the 85 XL250 I have with a blown gearbox.

I may call the guy to see what's up just for fun.

That's a lot of parts for $400

Mag00 · 04-01-2017, 01:26 PM

It's sold, hope one of you got a good deal on it

That Apollo would be the perfect donor engine (if it actually needs a new engine). You could make some money on the deal!! A fully street legal, fully assembled Hawk offered at $1200 (let them deal you down) would be a good bike for someone.

Can't remember if I mentioned this, but Superiorpowersports shows the Storm for sale, olds...

Some people had less than stellar customer service but others had great experiences; either way, they have the Storm according to their ad:

How bout the TGB, if the Chinese can do it!

HB...you can show him

Does anyone know whether or not the storm has a balanced engine?

Thx

BigWeld · 04-01-2017, 06:13 PM

It does

rwl6935 · 04-01-2017, 06:21 PM

Thanks!

I'm trying to order one from safewholesale.com

Hopefully this transaction goes smoothly, unlike the power sports max transaction. That's got to be one of the worst places to deal with. I'm still waiting for my title and he's seat. unreal

* replacement seat damaged in shipping.
These places take your money then forget you offering zero support.

culcune · 04-01-2017, 08:12 PM

saferwholesale is hit or miss, according to the several posts I have seen over the years--just be aware.

I had a few issues with Superior power sports but they have corrected these so far. My bike is due to be delivered on Monday. If you have not already ordered, I would give them a try.

rwl6935 · 04-01-2017, 11:12 PM

Brian, which bike did you order?

I went with the Brozz. I really like the more on-rode tires, and the digital speedo.
