Has anyone bought of these yet?

A couple reported buying and waiting for one, but never heard from again. It seems to be a nice bike, but as with most every Chinese motorcycle, there are good, bad and ugly sides to them, although Bashan's dual sports have been getting good reviews overall, so wouldn't expect too much bad or ugly from this relatively unknown bike. It is on the same EPA/DOT certificate as their other bikes, meaning it has the same engine.

At the very least it looks nice.

They are distributed by Roketa, and I could only find one video of the bike since it is under the 'Roketa' name.

I like the mags! cool bike. I assume it is the same/similar pushrod motor as the hawk?

Very nice looking bike. However, it says "Sports Man", lol. Guess that's an upgrade from some of the old bikes, seems like I remember one that use to say "cool boy". The chinese terminology and graphics crack me up.

It looks just like the engine in my Brozz. Pushrod (and counter balanced), by the looks of the valve cover in this screeshot.

When Chinariders was founded by Frostbite, the Lifan GY-5 was the Hawk of the time. It had very prominent side stickers that stated 'Cool Boy'. Those stickers were removed seemingly within minutes! In fact, after 100 or so posts, one became 'Cool Boy'. The GY-5 also came with a handlebar pad that stated 'Auspicious'. I recall a little cartoon man or alien on the pad. Those were easier, and quicker, to remove.

I mentioned before that I came across the name of this bike, CR250, on the EPA/DOT certificate. Manufacturers oftentimes have lists of bikes certified with the same engine, even though many bikes do not actually make it to our shore. However, most of the bikes on Bashan's list have shown up or are planned for N. America. The point being, they are certified with the same engine, in this case the counter balanced engine as found in your Brozz.
