Interesting find on Superiorpowersports' site

The problem I can see is, well...it is superiorpowersports

If you look closely at the ad, besides the usual 'Californians need not apply', it seems that people from New Jersey and Pennsylvania also 'need not apply.'

This seems confusing because assuming these are 2016 models, and are the BS250-GY-18D model as shown in their ad, they fall on the exact same certificate as the Brozz, the Shark, and the Storm models (among others listed but not imported here) so should NOT be a problem to register. My guess is they are being over-cautious as opposed to those dealers who had shipped Hawks to 'forbidden' states, like rwl6936's current Hawk issue involving Powersportsmax and New Jersey. It kind of makes them seem ignorant, but if you are from NJ or Penn, and are sure you can register them (Bashan's first three VIN letters, 'LHJ' show up on NJ's list of AUTHORIZED bikes) you would probably have to have one shipped to a friend out of state since superior will not ship one to you. How ironic!!

I vaguely maybe recall some sort of nonsense like that. But NJ expressly has a list of approved bikes on their DMV site. I have not seen anyone from Penn lately, so have not bothered to check out their site and what they will allow or not allow, but now I might want to try looking for something

That bike looks very familiar. Where have I seen that before?

Let's go ask Don...

A few manufacturers got into trouble about 6 or so years ago--American Lifan and Wildfire are two I recall that got in trouble federally. Keep in mind that Lifan was an OEM for a few brands, as well. The situation you are writing about might be related or even some kind of fraud with another brand (What!? Chinese manufacturers, distributors trying to pull fast ones???

) If it involved Lifan being an OEM for someone (I actually believe they were the OEM for Wildfire), that might be where the 'L' came in. Lifan's is 'LXA'

How is the enforcer using the brozz,shark,storm certificate when the engine is not the same?

Good point! That is what threw me off with the first two buyers of the Enforcers confirming the engine was NOT the same; ski_rush above being one of the two. Come to think of it, no one has been able to buy an Enforcer since! I wonder if there is a slight possibility that has something to do with it? I know for sure there is no other listing for the '18D' on its own certificate...

I think I remember that too. Some counter person rejected it because it started with an "L" (signifying China)..then if I remember correctly, some supervisor got involved and got it straightened out???? Sound familiar?
