Why “Astronautic” nothing is going into outer space?

**xpowersports** · 03-22-2013, 06:18 AM

Previously, BASHAN is a state-owned company which belongs to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
Bashan had a motorcycle assembly plant, then one entrepreneur bought this motorcycle company.
So the name is Astronautic Bashan. That's it.

Hi xpowersports. First of all, thank you for taking your time to post here. I'd like to ask you a few questions:

1. Bashan's motorcycle range is a little disappointing to say the least. No multi-cylinder, water-cooled, DOHC or 4 valve-per-cylinder engines in any of your bikes. Am I right in saying that in China, Bashan is considered a bit of a "山寨" motorcycle brand similar to Sukida, Jinlun and Baotian etc?

2. That being the said, does Bashan intend to improve its product range or is it happy with where it currently stands?

3. As someone working in the Chinese motorcycle industry what are your opinions on motorcycle bans? Do you think it's going to get worse or are local governments going to relent in the future?

I have found Bashan's alibaba site, but cannot link to it since I am using a tablet. However, there seem to be quite a few bikes, and several are listed as EPA/DOT for the US, as well as other bikes offering EEC certification. I hope that is more in line with what Bashan is offering vs. their website. Mathew, can you fill us in?

yeah and here is the link to contact their "sales manager"

Mr. Min Zhou

The only new offering is the same old copy of a Honda CBR 150/250, that every single manufacturer in China sells.

The distributor for the USA is Peace Industries.

My first contact with Bashan is my neighbor's friend's ATV - common small-displacement ATV, but its engine make me laugh - standard 200 cc liquid cooled pushrod that is not painted in common silver or black, but in light BLUE, with golden Chinese characters on engine side cover.

Perhaps we should continue this discussion in this thread - http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/sh...85%AC%E5%8F%B8
