I believe you can do a little bit better on that price. Shop around some more unless you have a specific reason to purchase from them. For example here it is for $1,400.00 with shipping included.

Some people report problems dealing with Killer Motorsports so that is the kind of stuff you need to consider before placing an order.

Don't you love it when non-bike people write ads?

This compelling engine delivers the maximum power possible and keeps the engine purring by using a highly sophisticated air cooling system.
Nice looking bike at a fair price. It's important to note that it's counterbalanced.

Several owners have posted threads here on the Bashan 250 bike. It gets generally good reviews.

Most modern motorcycles have an internal weight which counterbalances the movements of the crankshaft, resulting in less vibration from the engine. Some of the Honda clone engines lack this feature.

The link you posted has that line, and a pic of the counterbalanced motor:

Look at the finned portion at the front of the engine, in front of the oil sight glass; that's where the counterbalance device lives, and I covet it.
