Bashan BS300
Interesting site.
See the BS300. I don't know why they have it stuck in with the dirt bikes. Maybe a DS 300 will debut sometime? ![]() Their faq says they will re-label the bikes to your company's name so you can be an OEM. Sorry about that! :oops: Here is the link: http://www.chinabashan.com/Product.asp?CatalogID=12 |

Be your own OEM?

I didn't see any pricing. The iformation seems to indicate that you can get a 1-off sample or you can buy a whole container.
I am always curious how you get the samples and if you could get them titled and licensed. |

I'd hate to be the bearer of the "emperor has no clothes" explanation, but did anyone else notice the BS200GY was a rebadged Lifan GY-5 without the "Cool Boy" sticker. Also, all of their bikes have the model designation of BS which is a little too close for confort

Hey man have you been in the ludes!
Cut the BS! ![]() Actually it is quite different than a GY-5. Frame, fork and swingarm angles. Exhaust routing. Really cool large dual front disks. Rearset foot controls and pasenger pegs. But the big question is, is the engine really a 300cc based on the name of the bike. And that may be what you were pointing out. It is hard to tell if it is really different. The bike that is a redressed GY-5 was sitting right next to a GY-5 when I bought mine. It is the LF200. http://www.americanlifan.com/lifan2/lf200.html They really are close to the same thing. Anybody else notice that American Lifan has redesigned their site? (BTW - I love the Spicoli quote in your footer ![]() |

Actually, my drug of choice is beer, and yes, I have learned my lesson (a very mild lesson if you read my "crash" story) and I rarely even drink that, anymore :idea:

Were they ever able to get DoT/EPA approval for those. I had one as a kid it was great. Awesome bike to hang off an RV or just a farm runaround bike.

I thought patents expired after 15 years? It's funny how I used to hate the Chinese way of blatantly copying everthing and now with bikes and scooters I don't. I'm so ashamed :roll:
