CCW tha Heist

[barnone]

your a box of rocks

Is that the best you can do?

I will try to explain it to you again,
If you order one of those 500cc engines and it is held up in customs, then the only way to get it released would be to have an EPA certificate number for the Spark 500, because that is where the engine is identified as compliant.

Hey guys,

Is this about the only forum around to discuss it?

Looking forward to customizing it!
Plans are:
G&D long exhaust
Jet kit (which jet should I use? 102?)
Sprocket (recomendations?)
NGK plug and wire set
Magnetic Drain Plug
Chain Guard

Otherwise some exterior mods are on the list too!!

Also is Weaver out of business??? Wanted my carb done but website appears to be gone

I do not speak for Zorge, but he and I both share a passion for the industry. In that over the years I have gained some knowledge of the industry. I share it regularly in that you can gain some insight, reading some of the threads is like an adventure down a rabbit hole, you never know where it begins or ends.

I have been looking at this thread for a while now as a result of a web search. I found Tha Heist on the web while I was looking for Motorized Bicycles. I did some searching and found there is a dealer less than a mile from my house. Who knew? never seen one of these bikes before. All the pics here I have seen look great and am planning on moving forward and go check these out next week. Trying to get a little cash together. So I guess the question I will present here is this. Is the 2015 Heist a good buy? Is it the same as the ones pictured here?

[MJH]

There are no 2014-15, the last year they imported those was 2013.
I could be wrong, however I download a list of motorcycle off the EPA website each year, I do that just to check to see who is selling what in North America. CCW has not had a certificate since 2013 for a road model.
So if you see a Misfit or a Heist for sale it be a 2013 or older, unless the EPA forgot to add them to the list, which is possible, but that is not that likely.

There are a few people selling vehicles with that 229cc OHV engine, only Bashan has a certificate for 2015 and they have a blanket one that covers both the 200 and 229cc Dual Sports, they sell those for about $1300-$1800, the Hiest is a cool motorcycle but pricey for made in China.

I am pretty sure that dealer can only title vehicle with the year they are made and that is actually in the Vehicle Identification Tag, there is a way to check it, it is coded in there by law.

And, I understand these bikes are not legal in California, so some sellers in that state have dropped them. That's what I was told by a dealer. Since I live in Hawaii, I was looking in to someone in the San Diego area, because that is close to a company that ships motorcycle to Hawaii via their ships.
