Hawk has CG250 (230cc). Blaze has CB250 (230cc) Blaze has rear drum. Hawk has rear disc. Blaze seat height is lower at 31.1 in compared to 35.4 on hawk. Blaze claims 11.4 in min ground clearance. Hawk is 8.3 inch. They share a similar supply chain though I suspect Bashan maybe slightly more integrated.

You can pick up the hawk up $1100 a piece if you buy 2.

To me the biggest difference is the Bashan Blaze is DOT and EPA approved so it can be registered in 49 states for street use.
