New BMS CRP250s Here - Starting Setup
Well, the two BMS CRP250 enduros we ordered got here yesterday. We decided to do them one at a time, so we got right to work on uncrating the first one. It made the trip just fine -- no damage, no scuffs. Here's how it looked in the crate after the outer cardboard came off.
Unfortunately, the weather in northern Minnesota is NOT cooperating! Yesterday it was 16 degrees, and snowing. Our garage is not heated, so we had only one reasonable option -- put it together in the living room. We put the front wheel and the handlebars on temporarily so we could wheel it into the house. Then, we started taking everything apart so we could put loc-tite on all of the bolts. So far, we are very happy with the quality of construction and components -- nicer than we were expecting. We hope to finish this one up tomorrow, and then do it all again on the second one. It's still snowing, and supposed to get to -8 degrees, (below zero!), tonight so the second one will be built in the house also. I'll post again tomorrow, and let you know how it goes. |

Mine is nearly done, so it got moved to the dining room. We brought his blue one into the living room this afternoon. I have to say -- it makes for very nice working conditions. |

What we like, what we don't like
We've got the first bike almost completely finished, and are starting on the second bike. Here's a list of likes/don't likes. I'll start with list of stuff we're not too happy with since it's a short list.
Don't Like
Do Like
We'll keep you posted about our progress. Here's some pics of good stuff. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] |

It ius very much like the TT250 with the heavy duty front hub etc.
I think if you can get the spares guy would buy the rack of the back. these are not sold in China and Bashan is not far from me( Chengdu) lol but they don't sell locally (I have seen a couple from wholesalers that have an odd bike to clear etc, was a street bike EFI $400) |

Yes, very nice. How much is the cluster?
Also I’m interested in the cluster used on the new Bashan Brozz. http://www.chinariders.net/attachmen...1&d=1521667460 Is there a way to find this one anywhere? It looks like it will fit the Bashan Crp. |

This is another pic of the Brozz cluster powered up. If you can find this part that would look very cool on my BMS CRP.

Sorry to kind of hijack, but I thought this might be of interest to California members and it is about the CRP 250; the North American rep for Bashan confirmed in an email that BMS themselves are going through CARB certification for the CRP 250, and should be certified in early 2019!! I had tried to get an answer from BMS directly last week, after seeing a California-based online retailer who have a video on youtube featuring the CRP and claiming the same. The woman at BMS had limited English skills, and kept mentioning green sticker (which is California's off-road certification, such as for the Apollo 36 dirt bike), which is why I emailed the Bashan rep who I figured would have some kind of knowledge of this. At any rate, I can add the CRP to my wishlist!!

The BMS bike should be at the least, the same quality and have the same specs as a Bashan bike--higher quality/specs depending on how BMS contracted with Bashan who is the OEM (a VERY good thing if you have read up on Bashan the past 4 or 5 years here on Chinariders). On a side note, a retailer here in So. Cal. claims they will be CARB approved for California in early '19, although not sure how BMS can get it through CARB considering on the US EPA site, the bike is certified as a Bashan bike on the list of models EPA/DOT approved (i.e. Storm 250, Brozz 250, DB-41h, Shark 250, and a few other models that are not necessarily marketed here as that is what manufacturers do--throw on a list of bikes in case they sell them here).
I guess the question is, although it is marketed and branded as a BMS product, what is on the certificate of origin, and the manufacturer plate(s) on the bike? Are they street geared like the Bashan bikes (17 tooth front/44 tooth rear--at least please count the rear since you will have to remove the cover to count the countersprocket)?
