its going for 1000 us dollars, but i like how they charge a 199 handling fee if you pick it up, or 299 shipping... hmmmm

My complaint about these bikes are that they are dirt bike oriented, not enduro. I can only imagine how uncomfortable they would be for riding any kind of distance or commuting.

I think that an importer needs to pick up the asiawing products such as what 'Pobiker' was able to import. I think an importer called Odes used to bring them in to the Orange County, Ca area (not the rich OC, but the industrial area of the OC), but Odes does not seem to be in business anymore.

Bruce or Tom, did you see anyone representing Asiawing at Indy?

it would be nice if i could find one in the usa in the next month so i can get a bike more similar to trubattleax's 250.but if not it will be the 200cc roketa. not disappointed either way.

I'm holding out for something bigger than the 200cc bikes. It needs to be streetlegal though. I did a search for PowerMax 250 but didn't really find anything.

mdsuave13 · 03-16-2007, 02:13 PM

just fyi, the 250cc bikes make 1 hp more then the 200cc bikes.. its basically a 200cc bored out to a 238cc... no other changes from what i've been reading on them.. it makes 1 more hp and 2 ft lbs of torque... WHOAAAAA!!

mdsuave13 · 03-16-2007, 02:14 PM

i think what could be done to the 200cc's to make some more hp would be to bump compression from the lousy 9:1 to 10.5:1.. that would gain you at least 3 hp...

SamM · 03-16-2007, 03:21 PM

The 300 will be out soon enough. Give them a year or so and they be making 650 bikes.

My big question is...How many posts to Chuck Norris status?

ambassador · 03-16-2007, 05:53 PM

mdsuave13 · 03-16-2007, 06:26 PM

well its impossible to have chuck norris status, i'm still worried chuck is going to come to my house to "prove" that i'm not cooler then him by roundhouse kicking me in the face, then doing a 12 o clock wheelie while sitting on the handle bars of my chinabike...

i ride trubattleax's bike and this one is very similar. his has an awesome rear shock. that is more important to me than the displacement.
