Iam going to try to get them to cancel my order seeing I ordered a Storm and there trying to send me a Will. I dont hold out much hope but I guess I could refuse the shipment but from what Ive read they wont refund your money for not taking there bate and switch.

Does anyone know if the DB-03 can be registered in Colorado? I don't see The EPA or DOT label's in any pics I can find?

No offence to AZ but if the order is not a storm 229cc (250 cc class) ,you better get on the horn and straighten it out! If you used a credit card you can stop payment.
I believe the Bashan storm is the BS250GY-18 (DB-08K-250)

I received a 2014 year model (built on 10/2013) it has a 'Red Hologram' / 'Highway Legal EPA' plate on my DB-03-200 (197cc engine) frame... I had trouble registering it at first but it was from the seller not filling out the paperwork right... should be able to register it in CO no problems... but it depends on lots of factors with these China Bikes and the worker at any given day/location/BMV...

The DB-03 comes in 200 and 250 flavors, they could still get the DB-03-250 with the 229cc engine

This kind of bate and switch seems to be there business model. I called today when I found out and the guy on the phone didnt want to talk to me. Making me call back to talk to the sales person who stole it to me. Oppps I mean sold it to me.

Ya but I cant find out if I can even register it? In Colorado you have to have a EPA and DOT plate on your frame. The bike has no back pegs and a tiny 1.8 gal tank.

I posted the pics of both the EPA and DOT plates directly off my DB-03-200, the 250 will have a similar plate I'm sure, an 8L gas tank is closer to 2.1 gallons of gas, and I can tell you for a fact my bike also has passenger pegs...
Even in this factory pic you can see passenger pegs on the WILL 250 right below the exhaust and around the brake line

Storm = inverted forks, rear rack,front and rear disk brakes
Important features, these are what you expected to be purchasing by choosing the storm.

Passenger foot pegs on the DB-03 are here btw... mine has a counter balanced engine... if you find a rack that fits... let me know... I've been looking for one too (not that hard tho )

Ok now I can see it. Thanks. Seems like the Will 250 would still be better then a Hawk 250 as far a longevity and smooth ride? I wonder which bike has a better rep? I cant find much info about the Will 250? With a rack it could be ok. Is $1500 dollars with a one year warranty shipped a good deal or did I get ripped?
