Im boutta start law school in another state with a dirt bike a truck n a concealed permit . Im ready for america baby
Yessir
What's a concealed carry permit? We don't do that in America.
Fuck yeah U.S.A.
The only thing that permit is good for is the instant background checks
Maga dawg
I've owned mine for six years 5k later this bike is part of three others and i still love my hawk
I just bought my first motorcycle today, and it's the Hawk 250 DLX EFI. THE BEST first bike ever. I'm so happy with it.
that is the most true statement ever. riding a slow bike fast is much more fun then riding a fast bike slow. my absolute favorite bike to ride in the whole world is a kawasaki ninja 250. i collect them. they are without a doubt the perfect motorcycle. they are full sized, they can go 100mph for the highway needs, and they look incredible. also the best mpg you can find on a sport bike. there is no reason to ride a bike at insane speeds and risk lives.
My first bike is a z125 pro my second bike (sold) was a kawasaki 400 which I loved. I thought that was all I needed. I want another one.
I hear ya, but going 140-160 mph is a feeling that you just can’t get from goin 90-100mph
🤣🤣🤣 and yet I felt totally safe doing it on my BMW1200RT! I live in the Arizona desert and one of these cheapies might just cure some boredom...
I couldn’t agree any better with that statement.👍
2:08 - *almost dies* "ooh"
😂😂😂
I love the hawk 250 ! I had crashed it so many time and it still ran great ! I even driven it in the rain / storms which I don’t recommend but it was so reliable if you keep up the maintenance great bike for the money !
Be careful out there ahaha glad you're loving it as much as I am. Looking for a second bike right now since it's winter and used prices are sooooo low right now it's wild. 2010 drzs for 3k available around me
I’m Buyin one tomorrow but it’s pre owned ! Can’t wait to ride
Man I’m in Chicago IL I have to rebuild mines just wires and clutch cables and plastic cover replacements but indefinitely got caught in the rain and had to take a rode home with 0 turns I was slipping and sliding everywhere only had goggles no helmet. I’m blessed and my Hawk 250 green is currently in the garage 🤣
When my hawk breaks down it is easier to fix because I’ve tinkered with it and know the bike. I can get parts from China DIRT CHEAP and do the work myself. When my KTM breaks down I’m not messing with it. I have to make an appointment at KTM and they wait for parts to be shipped. After 100 dollars per hour labor, I’m broke. Also, try picking up a BMW 1200 off road and 40 miles from help. It’s great off road but I cringe if I have to go over 60 MPH. I live at elevation so the EFI version is for me. Pay the extra 200 dollars and get the DLX. For the price of a DRZ 400 you can get 2 Hawk EFI and a small trailer to get to off road venues. The reason I ride dual sports over dirt bikes is National Parks won’t let you ride non plated bike off road
What's the issues going over 60?
@@Billyjoegrand92 it’s mort dirt than road. It’s really light as it’s a basic bike without a radiator, electronics and a coffee maker. After being light it’s tall and has a high center of gravity.
Finally, a review after some amount of ownership
It's a great bike it does nothing amazingly but for somebody who wants to learn how to work on bikes a little bit it's perfect. Hard to find a good reliable motorcycle for around $1,000 these days lol around me they're selling 30-year-olds beat to death dual sports for 5K lol
my 3 cars all got catastrophic failures, ones barely holding on and my daily right now. its actually cheaper to get my bike, gear, and license than to fix any of them so imma try to daily this in a few weeks until i can save up to fix my cars.
I’ve loved your content and for someone just getting into this hawk quest, you’re a leader in the field! I’m excited to see your next chapter bike.
thank you bro I appreciate that!!! right now I'm thinking about maybe a cheap SV650 as my second bike
Just ordered one for this my daily can't wait!!!!
I'm looking for something to ride back and forth to work on and I can strap my tacklebox too and hit my favorite fishing hole. Don't care if I get there fast.
Buy a Lifan XPEC 200. My 2006 200cc Lifan GY5 has been excellent. NEVER a problem Oil changes, valve adjustments tires batteries. That is it I would buy a Lifan bike again in a heartbeat.
Ha, you made a lot of sense . I learn something today thanks.
i sold all my old bikes and bought a new 2020 rps hawk and a new 2020 ninja 636 and love both bikes, super awesome😜👀💀
I've always wanted a motorcycle. I rode dirtbikes as a kid. Now with gas the way it is, I'm having to get a motorcycle out of necessity instead of want. Because of this, I don't have the money saved up to treat myself to a nicer bike. This is going to be perfect for me.
You got it exactly right man! Be sure to weigh your options and don't get something too tall for your height. If mpg is your focus I would stick with a fuel injected bike, but even a carved 250 should get you around 70 or 80 mpg.
A motorcyle especialy a dual sport with knobbie tires is not cheaper to operate than a used small car at all. Not cost effective.
youve been great!
Very good job 👏
I seen a few videos on this bike nobody complained they all said low maintenance and they I think it's good enough for a small city as well I think they go up to 60 mph from what I remember when I checked one out online
Hoping to get one soon. Wanting to keep the miles low on my Xterra. Just wanting something to get to one of my part time jobs across town.
Only thing ive heard about this bike, are to upgrade the shocks or whatever.
Good video!
I have the 21 Hawk 250 and the 22 Xpro x24 I love them both. But would recommend the x24 for a ready to ride street bike
Those look awesome!
Very nice video! And I’m getting mine next week! First bike and I don’t want anything too powerful and stay on backroads and in town plus I only like dual sport bikes. Can’t wait man. I got a helmet and all as a motivation
Perfect bike for that! Just remember to change the oil right away and tighten all the bolts periodically for the first couple hundred miles!!
Buying the helmet and gloves was my motivation to keep saving as well. I am hoping to get the hawk within month now. Good luck with yours have fun!
Hey do you think of just upgrading your powertrain one day?
I’ve been wanting one of these since the days before they became big on Amazon. And this week I will finally be getting one
I wantcone so bad . I got the cash toooo ..:/
Did you get the paperwork yet. I heard the cons for buying a hawk is that they don’t send the paperwork
@@lukeyarnall7021 yeah I got my paperwork a couple days after receiving the bike!
@@Karnol428how was registration in your state?
what do you recomend yo fix first
whenever u upgrade...i'l b happy being the second owner it looks luvly👍
I'm actually looking to pick up an SV650 soon, you wouldn't happen to be in the northeast right? If you're near rhode island I'd love to sell this to someone who's seen the channel!
I’m getting one in less then a day 🎉🎉🎉
Cannot be sold in California! Doesn't meet air quality requirements in Cal??
All seems helpful.
What about the interstate or at night?
I’m from ky thinking about getting one of these when tax time rolls around I’ve rode a couple bikes before mainly small 125 cc dirt bikes and mountain bikes this seems like a good beginner road bike for a novice
its a perfect first bike for someone who already knows how to work on bikes a little bit, easy upgrades and you can do all the maintenance super quickly since everything is so simple and easy to get to
How fast can this bike go from fabric
How can I make it faster?
How fast is it?
Is it good for only city?
15 (almost 16) getting this to put less miles on my car and also use while im still 15 to get to work and to friends, cant wait
The turn in is definitely different. As far as street goes I've had several sportbikes, definitely can't flick that front end like a 17" wheel. That said, I daily a DLX here in upstate ny and love it.
Hey what size Shinko tires do you have exactly?? It would be very helpful since I have the same bike. Thanks!

I also put in heavy duty tubes which I recommend as well, stock tubes are thin

Hi, love the videos from RI. What was the process to get the bike registered in Rhode Island? Did you have to get it inspected and get a vin check? Did the dmv make it difficult to get the bike registered?
I just had to get it insured before registering it, made an appointment for the Middletown DMV and walked in with my bill of sale, and manufacturer certificate of origin and they created a title for me and handed me my plates, title came in the mail 30 days later
@@BodieMoto Sounds good ,I just ordered my hawk earlier today cant wait for it to come in
@@eze5204 Definitely worth it!
Top speed??
What are you going to ask for it and where are you at?
I went to cycle gear and the same happened to me. I got a nice jacket though
Did you assemble the bike your self . I’m looking at buying one already assembled as Amazon offers that option nowadays.
Did you have to change the brake fluid and the oil right away along with the spark plug ?
I know it’s been a while since you commented but I figure I might as well reply. Oil is recommended to be changed before running at all. The oil that they use is practically vegetable oil, so you gotta replace it immediately. The manufacturers recommend 10-30 or 10-40 standard. They also recommend to replace the spark plugs, and I think Bodie actually mentions which NGK ones specifically to use in another video.
Dude.. i recognized that road. I lived in RI for 15 years.. unless it looms really familiar.
Hi bodie! Awesome video! I'm about to purchase a hawk 250 myself, but I had some questions if you don't mind answering. So, I am going to install the nibbi carb, the sprockets and the digital speedo almost right away, but I'm curious on if I have to break everything in stock, or can i just go ahead with the aftermarket installs right after the bike is out of the box and being assembled. I want to avoid having to take the bike apart again if i dont have to, and the forums ive went to seem to just be super opinionated and not much help 😅. I really love your setup and everything looks awesome. Please let me know if possible!
Also, did you end up re-jetting the carb? I've seen people just put em on right out of the box but im not too sure i wanna do that 😂 I live in the southeastern michigan area so my altitude is pretty low, being around 750ft. Not sure if that matters. And did you do the CAI setup for the nibbi carb or use the stock airbox. Thanks!
go ahead and do those mods right away! Just dont go tooo hard on the engine for the first like 1k miles then after that let her rip. Just make sure you Loctite all the bolts and be careful to do all the important stuff right. And as for jetting I'm using whatever came stock in my nibbi carb, I didn't even open it up! I have links to all the stuff in my description if you want to make sure it will all fit (don't forget the gaskets for the exhaust, and they take some elbow crease to install) Have fun out there and be safe!!
@@BodieMoto Awesome! thankyou! And yep I've been doing research and have all of that in my cart ready to purchase! But did you go with the cold air intake setup for the carb, or use the stock airbox? Im assuming by doing the CAI method youd have to re-jet the carb but I could be wrong
@@DiMarcoMedia I still used my airbox, the tube is kinda hard to get on the carb but it fits. Seems like most people just get a cone and do a cold air intake though
@@BodieMoto Yeah i noticed that, but I think id rather do your setup if im being honest. So many people in the forums and on youtube have so many different setups but I like what you did. For now, I think im going to just do the sprockets, carb, and the digital speedo. I think the stock chain should be okay starting out right? Or should i change that out too?
Also whats your height/weight if you dont mind me asking? Im pretty small, being 5'6" and weighing 137lbs.... I worry that I wont be able to really touch the ground too much, once on the bike. I plan on taking trips with my girlfriend too and dont want to tip the bike or anything with her on it.
@@DiMarcoMedia I would switch out the chain after a few hundred miles max, not worth that thing failing on you and chains are pretty cheap. If you're doing a sprocket upgrade might as well do the chain with it. And it's a super tall bike honestly, I'm just barely 6 feet tall with shortish legs and I can't even flat foot in with a shorter rear shock lol So you're gonna be on 1 foot when stopped most of the time. I personally wouldn't ride with someone on the back but these bikes are made for third world countries where entire families pile onto the back so it for sure can handle it. Just be ULTRA careful, riding with someone on the back changes so much about how a bike handles, its worth watching a bunch of videos on this topic alone!! I don't have the balls to do it lol
so is this bike good for trail riding also considering its a basically a dual sport? thinking about getting one.
Just chiming in to share what I've read. I have been looking at the forums and comments on this bike for a few months now. From what I have seen and read it seems like light off road riding might hold up, but the experienced hawk owners don't recommend much more than a dirt road or smooth trail due to it being a cheaper made bike and the possibility of damage to the shocks. If you plan on going over rough terrain, tree roots, dirt jumps, etc then I would suggest buying a used dirt bike VS the Hawk. Just my opinion. Have fun!
I lost all the air in the rear tire on my bike going 40mph. Scary moment. Speed takes on a new meaning after something like that happens to you.
Same thing thing happend to me but when it was raining runing on a flat back home doing 40mph on my Apollo 250 wasn’t fun
does the hawk come with a title and if not how do you get one for it
From what I understand, you get them in the mail.
Can you U turn within 15 feet boundaries. Test: Enter a parking space 5,mph turn into the space right next to it turn out of it 5mph No stopping, no putting feet on ground. No going over the line. Driving straight down the road for a 1000 miles doesn't increase ones motorcycle riding and maneuverability skills. Maybe it helps with your shifting skills.
yess I had to be able to do figure 8's without putting my foot down within 2 parking spaces, I U Turn in the road all the time as well. I'd like to thing I've spent a fair amount of time practicing slow speed maneuvers (my bike is slow, all maneuvers are slow speed maneuvers lol) Always room for more practice though, maybe I'll set up some cones and do a video on that stuff!
*me sitting here with a helmet I bought three years ago........they have expiration dates 😳?
Seem like great shtf or backup transportation or farm bike is it hard to find parts?
Parts everywhere, the engine is a Honda clone
Mini moto
Chonda Chwasaki,Chuzuki
Love
Subbed👍
Ps
Loving my Navi!
on the nibbi carb, do i have to tune it?
Yes! I kinda got lucky that it was set up perfectly for my elevation already
@@BodieMoto is there any way you could possibly send me a video on how to tune it properly? if not, its fine.
What would be the top speed since I am a lightweight?
Stick about 60ish...but you are running 8k rpm to do it. Upgrade the sprockets to 17 /45 for 70 mph at 6.5k rpm.. nicer ride
@@Patrick.Erb.Home.Inspection thanks!!
Could you take it to different states??
Yeah absolutely, most my videos are from a different state that I live in
How tall is it ..Will a 5'7 person have any issues..
It's pretty tall, you'll be able to put one foot down but not both
Hawk vs magician? Which one is better ?
hawk for sure
👍👍
You should check more reviews.....I've seen 6k mile reviews
...okay? Lol
$1300 something now but 299 shipping google it
Not gonna lie I kinda want to buy it now
It's cheap enough to impulse buy lol
Can you have 2 people on there?
Absolutely, this bike is very popular in developing countries and is known to carry entire families on this thing. Personally I wouldnt but 1 person should be fine lol
Yeah not all the time just here and there
@@BodieMoto Yeah I want to get this bike just wanting to make sure I could put someone else on it would be sometimes not all the time.
Can I get away from the cops in it ?
only if you can our maneuver them, this bike isn't fast
Is this an electric bike?
no
I’ve had Yamahas Hondas and Kawasaki’s rn I have a crf 250r and a Yamaha 250x two stroke I would say this bike is way more reliable than my 2 stroke and honestly feels the same as my Honda these bikes are reliable just don’t beat tf on it
They have layaway plans now just to let anyone know just google 250 hawk on layaway ,,,but you can get different bikes as well
