Anyone here in Alabama familiar with CCW (Cleveland Cycle Works) 250cc Heist? It's a sweet little bike but only available from them to ship here.

May I ask why you would want a knockoff bike with a chinese motor for $3500? There are tons of Hondas, Kawasakis, Yamahas, and Suzukis with tried and proven motors, electronics and components. Not to mention the availability of parts and service and a dealer support. All of this for the same price.

The advantage of the knockoff bikes with chinese motors is the price, which is HALF of what the CCW goes for normally.

Just thought they looked cool at first glance, to get a bobber style bike that you didn't have to build.
They seem to be lax on the quality though, so I've been looking at other options as well.
I rode a Harley Sportster 1200 for years but just want a small, fun bike to ride around town on.
Not planning on any rode trips or even jaunts down the interstate.

Thanks for inspiring me... went to the local Honda shop and fell in love with the new Rebel 500
