Hello from Sc!
Hey everyone, new here. Also new to motorcycles in general. I’ve been looking into hawks and bashans for a good while now and I was just wanting to introduce myself. And get opinions on getting one for a first bike? I’m really wanting one, and part of the reason is the price tag. Now I’m not the most mechanically inclined but I can do some maintenance and I have some people that would help me with other stuff and I can learn pretty quick. I was mostly looking into the higher end bikes like the bashan blue eagle. Anyone have any experience with that particular bike?

Welcome Aboard!
 I'm sure you will get plenty of suggestion on what bike to get. lol To determine what bike will be the best will depend on a few things. Are you looking for off road, commuter bike. mostly street? How tall are you? Seat height will play a big part of the decision too.

The Brozz Blue Eagle would be perfect.

Hello and welcome, The blue eagle is a good choice, your riding style is similar to mine, mostly street riding with maybe a trail ride now and again. The only thing I would note is the seat height is pretty tall the way the bike comes and at 5' 9- 5' 10" you will probably be on your tip toes. I'm sure you could lower it a little with a little work or ride it the way it is. Personally I like a tall bike for both on and off road. Whatever you decide I wish you well, the Brozz Blue Eagle has been very reliable for me and I enjoy riding it.
