Looks like a knockoff of the Crossbone that was made in France for a while. Do a search on here for Crossbone.

wow, Thats looks sweet. This GK500 looks close but things like 300 more pounds and the qulaity I am sure is not the same will keep the two seperate. Not to mention the prices of each. I am sure the euro version is more than the china version, just a guess.

Is this crossbone vailable yet?

You may also want to check the dimensions re width. I suspect this is not what our friends on the east coast would call a "handy buggy". Also the frame is similar perhaps to what hammerhead was bringing out with there unit (different engine).

Not sure who makes the engine. A little wide but fun for the AZ desert I am sure. I am still glad I got the yamabuggy coming since it is a 5 speed with semi auto clutch. I will get the lows and highs without all the clutch work.

There is something to be said for the no shift though. I have the Roketa 250cc and it is just plain simple to drive. Gas, break, and steer. I am working on it this weekend. I bought a large tube of thread lock and I am going through the entire buggy. I have already replaced radiator hoses, gas lines, tires, changed the motor oil, changed the gear oil, Flushed the entire cooling system, replaced the electridfc fan, etc.. this year. It is almost ready for a few days of fun.

Still waiting on the yamabuggy though. Awsomebuggy said they wired the money and notified the shipper. I am not sure when it will leave the TX warehouse and make to phx. though. I can hardly wait. I am 40+ years old and I feel like I am twelve when my dad said he was going to buy me a dirt bike.

Can someone define EEC for me in less than 10,000 words Smile I have googled and went to some gov sites but still not real clear on this. Looks like there is a long list of EEC standards. Does EEC have anything to do with EPA? Sorry for the stupid question. Thanks !
