Still only a CG in a fancy looking dress
Still just a basic cheap frame motor etc
USD forks and all things look good but it’s a show
At $2200 would be ok but it’s still all just like the others etc
It’s got a balance shaft thi

Why do you always bash these bikes? The quality of the Bashan is a little bit better than others, but regardless of that it is still a bike made in China.
I did not expect it to be the best or greatest but at 1600.00 to my door I was happy.

So I have spent a bunch on upgrades and changes. Why because I like to work on them and it is fun.

If you had any business sense you would be targeting the owners of these bikes by providing the parts that we want, like maybe say a new clutch kit to improve the stock one. Or oil cooler kits etc.

So as I was told growing up if you do not have something positive to say keep your mouth shut.

No matter what's underneath....It is a cool looking bike!

I have been eyeballing the DB-47 too. It would make a much better commuter bike thank my Hawk, and would allow me to leave more aggressive tires and gearing on it for off road adventures. I have no problems with owning two variations of the same bike lol.

Looks cool. Is that the stuck can on the exhaust?

wheelbender6 · 01-28-2019, 09:47 PM

I like the cast wheels. Maybe not the best for off-roading, but they make it look more expensive.

I am guessing it is. Sounds healthy, either way!

I honestly wouldn't even consider this an off road bike beyond a dirt road in the country. This is a road bike wearing ADV clothing lol.

Dan, you might want to look at this one instead. They claim top speed of 75 mph. I've watched a few videos with top speed from 126 kph (78mph) to 146 kph (90mph) I don't know how accurate the speedometers are but pretty impressive for a 200cc engine. Looks like a good Hawk engine transplant. http://shopapmc.com/New-American-Lif...line_p_58.html

The issue is my height. The KPR looks like a great bike, but I doubt I would be comfortable on it. One of the reason I like the Hawk style bikes is that I fit on them quite comfortably. I believe the top speed. Aerodynamics make a huge difference on that top speed.

That's the spirit, Dan! More motorcycles is always the answer!
