UPDATE**
I spoke to CCW company leader Scott Colosimo via email last night and he told me that this vendor from Alibabba is in fact a scammer. These guys from overseas constantly steal CCWs images then represent their products on trade sites. CCW never sells to them, so let this be lesson to anyone wanting to get a good deal on a motorcycle from a Chinese trade website, if it’s too good to be true it probably is.

It also appears the CCW is in fact not an importer, they actually do design their own stuff. Scott sent images as proof of this so they are the real deal. Perhaps we will be able to review one of their bikes and create a member forum section in the future, they seem to be in for the long haul and personally I believe this is what we need in the U.S.

As of today the site was updated.

next month i will be back in china panyu same area where gap asia located i will try to contact mr.du let's see if he has the actual heist on hand so we can verify this issue. if ever i will take pics for proof.

i just got back from "guangzhou china" and confirmed that the gap company and mr. du are a scam, i called the company when i was in guangzhou and they don't manufacture motorcycles and no mr. du exist on the company. hahaha.

here's an update on hardknocks, the new hk3
fully assembled, it is street legal with DOT approved lights, tires, mirrors etc, I comes with the speedo, turn signals, sissy bar and license plate bracket already installed. The springer option will be the same as it is now. It is sold separately.
HK-3 is designed from the get go to accept multiple engine options (49, 125, 200, 250). Everything has been standardized, including the internal wiring and the frame. To convert engines all you have to do is swap out the engine mounts and a few components in the electrical cylinder. It's plug and play!

thats a hardknock Kelly kikker, there's still some debate whether the bike is street legal or meant for off road use. Some states have pulled the registrations but others will allow them as a custom garage built. I think they can be regged in NV.

The HardKnock is a kit you build yourself comes in 4 boxes and you assemble the unit. Comes in 100cc all the way to a 200cc and there are only a handful 250cc V-Twin units that I have seen on the kikker forums

Jers, that P-twin Liquid cooled 350cc softtail is ugly as sin but who makes it?
And man I want bubble tea and hot pot right now, I miss China

Uh, oh. I didn't realize that the Hard Knock is actually a Kikker. There are a few of those in Vegas(Registered) but each of the owners I have met are trying to sell them to get Heists...
