jmo, what I think your asking really does not exist

hawk= honda model xxx
bashan storm= suzuki model xxx
etc, etc.

the thing is these bikes are a mixture of some current parts that will fit on current bikes and also a lot of parts that have long been out of production by the big 4 jap makers. (available on the "chinese motorcycle" universal market).

i have been running my bashan blaze for 1 year over 6k miles and the spokes are the only thing i have had to replace. (and the oil). i have elected to change the chain and sprockets and speedometer because as you say, higher quality concerns but that info i have had to discover on this site (and really up to the consumers choice by option such as tires). the rest of the parts are specific to the bike such as the plastics so hard to say that it really compares to an existing jap bike.

unfortunately, it has been my experience that parts compatibility are replaced on a case by case basis.
