Yeah it is a little 😌 But if you have a 12 year old boy/girl then they could get it because you can adjust the max speed on the electric dirt bike 🚲 and then they could use it
Yeah, I love these. Honestly, someone could just make a YT channel where they order weird stuff off Amazon, Aliexpress, DHgate, and review them. I'm sure they exist. I've seen a mechanic oriented version that basically does that.
I have 1600 miles on my Hawk and never had a single problem. I change the oil and do weekly maintenance on it though. Carb, sprockets, chain, Speedo upgrade is required from day 1. (Or go with this DLX). Got in late 2020, since then I have assembled 4 others for people in the neighborhood. Affordable, and rather reliable for what they are. I mainly drive to work but have taken it hill climbing every year and has been on a motoX track a few times with light jumps. I wanted to hate this bike but you just can't. Easy to title. $8.00 in fuel @ $3.99 which lasts me 2 weeks with regular every day driving to work, stores, etc.. When I build these I always force the mandatory mods otherwise they would hate the bike.
tip for future: Use fuel line to fill your batteries. 6mm fuel lines fits perfectly on most of these acid bottles. tip for future of your future: do not reuse this fuel line as fuel line. Knowing you, I need to make it clear.
I only recently started watching your videos because at 38 I only recently started learning about bikes. If you say mid-life crisis I swear... Anyway I love your videos and of course I'm jealous of the beard. You have a great personality for a TV show honestly. Also I love that you share a scripture during every video. Keep doing the work you were called to do friend. I think you can go much further than TH-cam :)
At 1:04 They misspelled "cross country". It does not need a hyphen in this this situation because it is being used as part of the name of the bike and not as an adjective before a noun.
You should buy 2 identical crate bikes. One that you bolt together, pour gas over and just ride, and one which is built by a pro mechanic who drains out the crate oil, checks all the things like valve clearances, and specs it up using a pre road inspection sheet. Then test them against each other.
Your idle is most likely the valves needing proper adjustment, you'll also get a decent bit of power with them properly adjusted. You should have been able to pull wheelies on it in 2nd without working for it. Unlike most engines this one wants the lash set when the engine is dead cold.Manual calls for 2thou for both but most people shoot for 3thou on the exhaust. The 2 other quick and easy idle issues will be intake: the tube from the air box to the throttle body being bent to shit and partially collapsed( I bought a Hawk to be a cheep ass so my cheep ass fix is Simply Orange single serving juice bottle caps with the tops cut out shoved into the cheep hose works great) and double check the airbox isn't full of random bullshit like packing peanuts, plastic bags, mice etc. Also cut the intake portion of the airbox open a bit more, you can see where it should have opening but half is filled with modeled plastic. The second easy fix for a shit idle is check for and correct any shorts in the CDI and or plug wire, even if its running great you probably have one and will gain a bit of pep from fixing it. You can "port and polish" that head in a afternoon with a harbor freight rotary tool, it's stupid forgiving of ghetto engineering and it has a noticeable effect on the bike. Heck just tearing it down, scotch bright and properly lapping in the valves, because that heads not seen it in the factory will have a positive effect.
I bought the standard hawk 3 years ago it has nearly 10,000 mi I swapped rear sprocket to a 40T replaced the carb with a 30mm jetted it and put a pod filter on it I also put on a eBay crf230 aftermarket exhaust. I can run 55 no prob. Top speed 72 via GPS but it's ringing it out. It's ok for easy light trails and backroads. It hasn't been perfect but it was worth every penny for $1,300. I've got a yz250 and crf230 for real off roading and hitting jumps. The hawk has been my getting to and from work bike and weekend backroads.
Check the valve lash. Pretty sure it keeps stalling because they send those hawks with the valves cranked down. Mine was set to 0.0. Also the gap in the spark plug is not set from manufacturers. Set intake to 0.3 and exhaust to 0.4 should improve performance. Helped mine tremendously.
What an incredible improvement on the bike's performance in such a short time since you got the original model. Could this possibly mean that these bikes are going to become comparable to big name production quality in the immediate future on the next upgrade?
This is the deluxe model, fuel injected, better forks and suspension. The previous video was the $500 cheaper normal model with smaller forks, rear shock and carbureted instead of EFI
You guys are a great time to watch. Plus, as a Christian myself, and a lover of beards and bikes in general, it is a great time to watch this.

Some of us are old enough to remember when we thought Japanese bikes were rubbish. Unlike the British bikes, they started, they ran reliably, they didn't leak oil all over the floor, their electrics worked properly. You wait . . . . . . .

Hey Sean...If you adjust the valve rocker arm clearances to .003” the Hawk will likely idle better. They set them too tight at the factory almost always. When I adjusted mine it idled and ran so much nicer!

Actually that's not how u do it you use the little red hose u can bend the hose to the hole lift the acid fill drop acid bend hose pack repeat each hole i have filled hundreds at work never spilled a drop..
Every battery I've ever bought has a length of tube to attach to the acid bottle then you put the buisness end into the battery and squeeze the bottle.. Also.. pretty sure the F is for FULL lol. Great video tho guys!
@@5855brot kind of like them not knowing what the F was for at the top of the gas gage. Lol but it gets them comments and thats what they're hoping for.
Quality batteries come with a multi port funnel or have the multiple ports built into the acid bottle 👍 but they're not nearly as good for baiting in TH-cam commenters though 😄
I make work benches out of the metal crate frame, they are fantastic work benches. If you get a few of them the neighbors love them to. Plywood and a few self tappers and your good to go.
Man, I really miss my Hawk now! 😭 Hopefully I'll have everything together to get a CRF250L by this November. Great video as always though, can't wait to see how you all "test" this one! Lol
@@jakelowe3526 I'm pumped to get my hands on one. It's what I've wanted from the get go, but I was too broke before so I settled with a Hawk. I've heard before that they aren't super powerful, but I'm alright with it. I'm mostly around country roads and trails anyway. Plus anything is an upgrade from a Chinese engine! 😂
I look at something like this for $2k and think...well, is it really worth it to skimp out on a bike? Then I look at the Honda CRF250L Rally for almost $6k and think...yeah, I'll run that $2k amazon bike into the ground haha
I was in the same situation! Honestly I have had great experience with my hawk & tbr7 definitely enjoyed riding them in the woods as well as the street....with that said you better be a mechanic like myself to knock all the dumb@ss off of them out of the crate
Yes I understand that, but which bike will deliver more power? That’s my main concern right now as I am searching to buy myself the best budget friendly dirt bike... hence why I’m viewing this video lol 😂 After watching these bikes videos with their acceleration/top end speed I’ve become worried..... I’m leaning more towards paying $5k-$6k for a “brand name whatever” 250cc Yes it will cost 2-3xs more, but I am looking for mean acceleration with a nice top end +75mph.. so that being said if I was to get this bike & modify it (with everything short of having “a bore kit”) what type of power increase am I REALISTICALLY going to see? Will I see any comparison to the $5k/$6k bike or just a small increase over the original setup? Please anyone with any insight please comment!! Thank you! God Bless!! 🧘♀️♻️🧘♂️ -Yim
@@YOU_CREATE_YOUR_OWN_KARMA_369 To go 75 on the freeway you really need 500cc or better. Most 250s can't reach that, and all will be running wide open sounding sketchy and shaking your hands numb and rattling your teeth. If you can stick to 55 or 60 the hawk can do it, but its not ideal.
When I had my less than mid life crisis and wanted to start riding a motorcycle for the first time legally I wanted a dual sport. I looked at these real hard and strive to hustle to get it, so I traded some guns ($400ish) for a Suzuki VS1400. Fixed and cleaned it up and sold it for $1,400, the guy had a higher number in mind and I could tell but told him $1,400. Then with that profit I bought a 2018 Kawasaki Z125 for $1,500 rode it a couple weeks and then sold it for $2,400. Then bought a 2009 Kawasaki Versys 650 for $2,000 that was salvaged and covered in pollen and dirt and I'm in love :). New beefy 70/30 tires new clutch, chain sprocket, new levers and foot pegs, rear rack from Ukraine, Givi top case and Harbour Freight moto netting on the rear sides ;) going to ADV it and camp
Well it's easy to have patience when you're so rich and bored you have thousands to blow on motorcycles and four wheelers from Amazon to make TH-cam videos.
Just so you know, the little red tube that comes with your battery acid is for filling the battery. I did that once before and found out after the fact.
The red tube is the vent tube that goes on the side of the battery. The long clear tube is the one for filling the battery. It gives enough length to be able to start with the tube in the hole in the battery before tipping the acid bottle up and then you can tip the bottle back down when full before moving the tube
It's like rule numero uno not to even start the bike with the shipping oil. I guess considering the old Hawk's odometer said 26.9 miles you're not expecting to put any actual miles on it.
Exactly right. Best thing is to swap in conventional oil, run it at higher rpms for 30min - 1h or 10 min at full temperature, then change it with decent synthetic oil and a new filter if applicable. All cheap engines really need to be "broken/honed in" with a first oil change for longevity. If the engine has self learning efi, running high rpms without transmission load during break in also helps it get base mapping to run/idle better 👍

Thank you Sean & guys for the fab videos, its great to see you guys after all the rubbish were dealing with ,after servicing my carburators & attaching airpod filters to my Honda cbr1000f 1987,he sounds Amazing ,however, I still need to apply for my full licence, then I can ride on the streets😎😎😎
That green style of metal is parkerized. Parkerizing is a method of protecting a steel surface from corrosion and increasing its resistance to wear through the application of a chemical phosphate conversion coating.
I have 500 miles on my hawk DLX now with a few videos of it on my youtube. I had to adjust the throttle cable and clutch cables to make it idle right and be responsive like I wanted. Its a great bike to commute around town on. They take some tinkering and are built very cheap but thats to be expected. I changed the setup for adjusting the chain. You can change sprockets to pick up a few MPH to be more streetable. Another reason it may not idle right is because the valves need adjusted. Its very simple to do and they are normally way to tight from the ugg a duggas in the china assembly plant.
@@lethargicstove2024 65mph is pretty much all you will get on stock sprockets. you can gain low end and lose top end or the opposite if you start messing with different sprockets.
the chinese bikes are becoming better and better, I have the Lifan Xpect 200 that I learned to ride on, the brake pedal was the first thing I bent, bought a new one and bent it again, sure I could've saved for a name brand and waited even longer to start having fun, but I honestly would probably still not own a bike yet if I waited
I litterly love your videos I get happy when I get to see that you uploaded. I have always wanted a dirt bike since i was 7 and now I’m 13 and I can’t get one because of money issues or financial problems I don’t really care what type it is it could be the worst but I would still ride it because I just want to have fun and my dream is to ride dirt bikes and pit bikes. My dream pit bike is the crf110f but I know for sure I will never have that in my hands even. Especially when I can’t even buy a 500-600 dollar dirtbike like the Tao Tao or Apollo. I love looking at dirt and pit bikes they make me feel like one day I will get one. My dad can’t buy me one because he has bills and not only that we are in a bad situation right now. But who cares about what I got to say you make the best content and I love when you get a new dirt bike because it makes me feel like when I finally be able to work in 3 more years I will finally get a 600 dollar dirt bike. I know that my dream won’t come true about the crf110f. But that’s ok. That bike is beautiful and you deserve it for sure. Keep up the work you put in these videos. Have a good day. Also LIKE SUBSCRIBE AND TURN ON THE BELL FOR BIKES AND BEARDES.
Why in the Hell is the camera guy talking, doesn't he know that it freaks us out to hear his voice right in the middle of your awesome dialog. Anything he wants to say can wait until later. Man this guy.
I'm thinking of getting my first bike and I know I want a dual sport/adventure bike. There's a local bike store that sells cheap Chinese TaoTao street legal dirt bikes for 1800-2000 and are 250 cc. What I really want is the new KLR 650
This is like the Hawk you tested before but the “DLX” comes with (1) EFI, (2) stainless steel exhaust, (3) digital cluster, (4) 80/20 tires versus the knobbies, & (5) upside down forks. And no, it’s not a dirt bike. It’s a dual sport just like the cheaper Hawk.
I do hope Shaun at least gets the DLX running and assembled properly before he compares it to anything else. They had a Taotao kids atv that was assembled so poorly and carb horribly misadjusted and blamed it all on thr quad being junk.
Joe Anthony when you have the disposable income Shaun does.... Nothing is a waste. His cash to spend as he wants. Exactly how many Chinese one bikes do you own or have you ridden to base your opinion on again?
As a technicality, the DLX model is EPA/DOT certified as an 'On highway motorcycle' in 49 states (Californians need not apply), whereas the regular Hawk (and its cousin, the Magician which is nothing like the Hawk other than it uses the exact same engine) is EPA certified as an 'Offroad dirtbike'. Many states will street register and plate them based on the fact that it comes with all the street-legal equipment one needs to plate dirtbikes, and its MCO is misrepresented by stating 'Motorcycle' vs. 'Dirtbike' (shhhh, don't let the EPA know, LOL) on it. There are some states that will street plate converted dirtbikes but only after jumping through a few hoops and it takes time, like up to a year(I believe Colorado is one such state). In theory, with the DLX, one should be able to get it plated everywhere but Calif. with minimal hassle.
The other blue bike has normal forks, the one you put together has upside down forks, upside-down forks are the more performance style forks while the normal one are for, cheaper, more like trail riding or smaller bike forks
China does you the liberty of getting the first scratch on it for you and due to the lack of torque specs, extra nuts and bolts to replace the ones that fall out.
There are actually specialised tools on the market that can be used to remove bolts. You don't have to use a disc grinder every time you want to remove one. By the way, in America, don't you have shotguns to open boxes? Seems much quicker and more practical compared to using a chainsaw.
I usually use a strap from the roof beam is best to hold the handlebars up and then step the back end off the pallet . And don't get any acid down your jeans lol I used to work for a sinnis dealer here in the uk .and you usually end up with half a dozen bolts left over lol
did i just watch someone intentionally try to get a chainsaw caught in their clothing. seems like a fast way to get a ride in an ambulance i suppose lol

Actually that's not how u do it you use the little red hose u can bend the hose to the hole lift the acid fill drop acid bend hose pack repeat each hole i have filled hundreds at work never spilled a drop..
at worst have a small funnel around
Chris Phoenix left the chat. With a soft name like Chris.
Hilarious, thanks for the funny video
The ending had me Rollin
Who the hell disliked this video already lol this guy is great!
Charles Huang ?
@Charles Huang gtfo with that crap here
Charles Huang Huh? Explain please
I have been binge watching the last couple days and can not stop!
“Looks like some chains saw marks... don’t know how that happened.” Lol
...or just put some oil in the sump....idle will improve too....
HAPPY 500,000 SUBS... WELL DONE... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK...
Thank you so much. It’s all because of people like you
8:08
Yeah hear him groan "There we go", yet he completely missed the hole in the shock.
I noticed that too hilarious xD
Every battery I've ever bought has a length of tube to attach to the acid bottle then you put the buisness end into the battery and squeeze the bottle..
Also.. pretty sure the F is for FULL lol.
Great video tho guys!
7:10, the tube is on the floor. That was the dumbest thing I've seen them do on this channel in a long time.
@@DeadBaron No, he drops the red acid tube from his left hand at 4.27, so he just wants to look stupid, and it worked......
@@5855brot kind of like them not knowing what the F was for at the top of the gas gage. Lol but it gets them comments and thats what they're hoping for.
@@theroamingokie5438 I like their videos, but trying to be as dumb as possible, that sometimes gets a bit annoying.
Quality batteries come with a multi port funnel or have the multiple ports built into the acid bottle 👍 but they're not nearly as good for baiting in TH-cam commenters though 😄
I make work benches out of the metal crate frame, they are fantastic work benches. If you get a few of them the neighbors love them to. Plywood and a few self tappers and your good to go.
Man, I really miss my Hawk now! 😭 Hopefully I'll have everything together to get a CRF250L by this November. Great video as always though, can't wait to see how you all "test" this one! Lol
Highly recommend a 250l. Great bike..little less on the power side but great bike none the less
@@jakelowe3526 I'm pumped to get my hands on one. It's what I've wanted from the get go, but I was too broke before so I settled with a Hawk. I've heard before that they aren't super powerful, but I'm alright with it. I'm mostly around country roads and trails anyway. Plus anything is an upgrade from a Chinese engine! 😂
@@Whitingbolt may not be the most powerful, but it will run forever. Good luck to you and your future bike.
@@jakelowe3526 Thank you very much. You too, in whatever endeavors the future might bring you!
I look at something like this for $2k and think...well, is it really worth it to skimp out on a bike? Then I look at the Honda CRF250L Rally for almost $6k and think...yeah, I'll run that $2k amazon bike into the ground haha
I was in the same situation! Honestly I have had great experience with my hawk & tbr7 definitely enjoyed riding them in the woods as well as the street....with that said you better be a mechanic like myself to knock all the dumb@ss off of them out of the crate
Yes I understand that, but which bike will deliver more power? That’s my main concern right now as I am searching to buy myself the best budget friendly dirt bike... hence why I’m viewing this video lol 😂
After watching these bikes videos with their acceleration/top end speed I’ve become worried.....
I’m leaning more towards paying $5k-$6k for a “brand name whatever” 250cc
Yes it will cost 2-3xs more, but I am looking for mean acceleration with a nice top end +75mph.. so that being said if I was to get this bike & modify it (with everything short of having “a bore kit”) what type of power increase am I REALISTICALLY going to see?
Will I see any comparison to the $5k/$6k bike or just a small increase over the original setup? Please anyone with any insight please comment!! Thank you!
God Bless!! 🧘♀️♻️🧘♂️

@@YOU_CREATE_YOUR_OWN_KARMA_369 To go 75 on the freeway you really need 500cc or better. Most 250s can't reach that, and all will be running wide open sounding sketchy and shaking your hands numb and rattling your teeth.
If you can stick to 55 or 60 the hawk can do it, but its not ideal.
@@YOU_CREATE_YOUR_OWN_KARMA_369 power shouldn't be your main concern if it's your first bike dude. Get comfortable riding first then up the power.
Agreed
When I had my less than mid life crisis and wanted to start riding a motorcycle for the first time legally I wanted a dual sport. I looked at these real hard and strive to hustle to get it, so I traded some guns ($400ish) for a Suzuki VS1400. Fixed and cleaned it up and sold it for $1,400, the guy had a higher number in mind and I could tell but told him $1,400. Then with that profit I bought a 2018 Kawasaki Z125 for $1,500 rode it a couple weeks and then sold it for $2,400. Then bought a 2009 Kawasaki Versys 650 for $2,000 that was salvaged and covered in pollen and dirt and I'm in love :). New beefy 70/30 tires new clutch, chain sprocket, new levers and foot pegs, rear rack from Ukraine, Givi top case and Harbour Freight moto netting on the rear sides ;) going to ADV it and camp
The less than midlife
Ghehehe
I think i got that when i was 11 i'm 47 now. :))
Your patience is second to none I'd be chucking things around in frustration.
Well it's easy to have patience when you're so rich and bored you have thousands to blow on motorcycles and four wheelers from Amazon to make TH-cam videos.
Just so you know, the little red tube that comes with your battery acid is for filling the battery. I did that once before and found out after the fact.
i tried that but it did not work very well
The red tube is the vent tube that goes on the side of the battery. The long clear tube is the one for filling the battery. It gives enough length to be able to start with the tube in the hole in the battery before tipping the acid bottle up and then you can tip the bottle back down when full before moving the tube
Dude!! The red fill tube to get the acid into the battery without spilling was laying right next to the battery!! Nice.
It's like rule numero uno not to even start the bike with the shipping oil. I guess considering the old Hawk's odometer said 26.9 miles you're not expecting to put any actual miles on it.
Exactly right. Best thing is to swap in conventional oil, run it at higher rpms for 30min - 1h or 10 min at full temperature, then change it with decent synthetic oil and a new filter if applicable. All cheap engines really need to be "broken/honed in" with a first oil change for longevity. If the engine has self learning efi, running high rpms without transmission load during break in also helps it get base mapping to run/idle better 👍
Such wonderful edits to appeal to the humorous folks
I love these videos, what'd i really like to see is a race between this and the old hawk 250 to really show the difference in power
"Oh that kinda looks like chain saw marks...not sure how that happened." 🤣🤣
That's a mighty fine looking Honda CBR at the back.
yeah it is
Intro was epic, I can die happy now
"We will probably be a little nicer to this one" yeah right
Wish I had one of those bikes, specially the CBR :) Enjoy watching your vids. Subsciber from Philippines. More power to you. Ride safe!
14:04 F is for FREEDOM!
The bike recognized it's in the United States...Merica! F Yeah!
The red hose that comes with the battery and acid is great for pouring with zero spills.
Honda sells this in Brazil named as "Bros" but with the thin normal forks
he is a better mechanic than most of us, we know when there are left over bolts and nuts after full assembly
Mas conhecida como Bros no Brazil 😂😅
Kkkk
po ser uma 250 é mais conhecida por tornado kkkk
@@dy7FF e eu pensando que fosse 150cc kkkkkkk
Kkkkkkkkk Bros xing ling
Moto nos Estados Unidos custam barato demais meu Deus do céu que diferença bizarra imensa dessa porra de Brasil eita país desgraçado que eu fui nascer.Por lá a cada 5 meses de trabalho você pagando as contas do mês e tudo da pra comprar uma moto da hora por aqui uma moto é dinheiro de uma vida toda pra muitas pessoas
Can't wait to see part 2 😜
What is "F"? totally ignores the "E" and the gas indicator
Should have WTF.........LOL
Haha I came to the comment section specifically for this comment lmai
I swear you and yamminoob are the only ones carrying the whole motovlog/motorcycle videos 💯💯
Sorry but moto vlogging is dead and I like to think I hammered the last nail
You actually came through I was the kid suggesting it and you were one step ahead
I totally want this bike. Awesome vids , keep them coming.
Thank you Sean & guys for the fab videos, its great to see you guys after all the rubbish were dealing with ,after servicing my carburators & attaching airpod filters to my Honda cbr1000f 1987,he sounds Amazing ,however, I still need to apply for my full licence, then I can ride on the streets😎😎😎
That green style of metal is parkerized. Parkerizing is a method of protecting a steel surface from corrosion and increasing its resistance to wear through the application of a chemical phosphate conversion coating.
I have 500 miles on my hawk DLX now with a few videos of it on my youtube. I had to adjust the throttle cable and clutch cables to make it idle right and be responsive like I wanted. Its a great bike to commute around town on. They take some tinkering and are built very cheap but thats to be expected. I changed the setup for adjusting the chain. You can change sprockets to pick up a few MPH to be more streetable.
Another reason it may not idle right is because the valves need adjusted. Its very simple to do and they are normally way to tight from the ugg a duggas in the china assembly plant.
What’s your top speed
@@lethargicstove2024 65mph is pretty much all you will get on stock sprockets. you can gain low end and lose top end or the opposite if you start messing with different sprockets.
@@resatchel4389 pretty good just can't go on the highway
Been waiting for this one aye;)
the chinese bikes are becoming better and better, I have the Lifan Xpect 200 that I learned to ride on, the brake pedal was the first thing I bent, bought a new one and bent it again, sure I could've saved for a name brand and waited even longer to start having fun, but I honestly would probably still not own a bike yet if I waited
I litterly love your videos I get happy when I get to see that you uploaded. I have always wanted a dirt bike since i was 7 and now I’m 13 and I can’t get one because of money issues or financial problems I don’t really care what type it is it could be the worst but I would still ride it because I just want to have fun and my dream is to ride dirt bikes and pit bikes. My dream pit bike is the crf110f but I know for sure I will never have that in my hands even. Especially when I can’t even buy a 500-600 dollar dirtbike like the Tao Tao or Apollo. I love looking at dirt and pit bikes they make me feel like one day I will get one. My dad can’t buy me one because he has bills and not only that we are in a bad situation right now. But who cares about what I got to say you make the best content and I love when you get a new dirt bike because it makes me feel like when I finally be able to work in 3 more years I will finally get a 600 dollar dirt bike. I know that my dream won’t come true about the crf110f. But that’s ok. That bike is beautiful and you deserve it for sure. Keep up the work you put in these videos. Have a good day. Also LIKE SUBSCRIBE AND TURN ON THE BELL FOR BIKES AND BEARDES.
No Offence Mate, but hope You don't help the Bike Tech, or worse still repair the bikes !!!
I’m putting mine together now . It is The STRONGEST !!!
Why in the Hell is the camera guy talking, doesn't he know that it freaks us out to hear his voice right in the middle of your awesome dialog. Anything he wants to say can wait until later. Man this guy.
can he not talk tho
Why is this channel so entertaining?
Nice bike dont brake it! Bought a 200$ pitbike. Doing build series on it!
I'm thinking of getting my first bike and I know I want a dual sport/adventure bike. There's a local bike store that sells cheap Chinese TaoTao street legal dirt bikes for 1800-2000 and are 250 cc. What I really want is the new KLR 650
This is like the Hawk you tested before but the “DLX” comes with (1) EFI, (2) stainless steel exhaust, (3) digital cluster, (4) 80/20 tires versus the knobbies, & (5) upside down forks.
And no, it’s not a dirt bike. It’s a dual sport just like the cheaper Hawk.
I do hope Shaun at least gets the DLX running and assembled properly before he compares it to anything else.
They had a Taotao kids atv that was assembled so poorly and carb horribly misadjusted and blamed it all on thr quad being junk.
@@jasonjulian1 tthats how it is on everything they do, or change soemthignon the bike and compares
what a waste of money,
Joe Anthony when you have the disposable income Shaun does.... Nothing is a waste. His cash to spend as he wants.
Exactly how many Chinese one bikes do you own or have you ridden to base your opinion on again?
As a technicality, the DLX model is EPA/DOT certified as an 'On highway motorcycle' in 49 states (Californians need not apply), whereas the regular Hawk (and its cousin, the Magician which is nothing like the Hawk other than it uses the exact same engine) is EPA certified as an 'Offroad dirtbike'. Many states will street register and plate them based on the fact that it comes with all the street-legal equipment one needs to plate dirtbikes, and its MCO is misrepresented by stating 'Motorcycle' vs. 'Dirtbike' (shhhh, don't let the EPA know, LOL) on it. There are some states that will street plate converted dirtbikes but only after jumping through a few hoops and it takes time, like up to a year(I believe Colorado is one such state). In theory, with the DLX, one should be able to get it plated everywhere but Calif. with minimal hassle.
Free tip, when you insert the bolt for the lower shock mount, it's better if you actually get the bolt through the shock eye! 😂
cocain's a hell of a drug
🤣😂
The other blue bike has normal forks, the one you put together has upside down forks, upside-down forks are the more performance style forks while the normal one are for, cheaper, more like trail riding or smaller bike forks
Take that thing to a motocross track
That would be a hilarious video
Yeah that would be awesome
@@BikesandBeards yes it definitely would
I jist watched your recent and old videos. Your awesome.
In a couple months :Sean I bought a house ON AMAZON
China does you the liberty of getting the first scratch on it for you and due to the lack of torque specs, extra nuts and bolts to replace the ones that fall out.
There are actually specialised tools on the market that can be used to remove bolts. You don't have to use a disc grinder every time you want to remove one. By the way, in America, don't you have shotguns to open boxes? Seems much quicker and more practical compared to using a chainsaw.
Nobody mentions this guy has 90% of his videos titled “I bought ........ bike”
I usually use a strap from the roof beam is best to hold the handlebars up and then step the back end off the pallet . And don't get any acid down your jeans lol I used to work for a sinnis dealer here in the uk .and you usually end up with half a dozen bolts left over lol
I'd like to have one of those just as a spare bike.
Dude, I just love watching your videos. God bless brother!
did i just watch someone intentionally try to get a chainsaw caught in their clothing. seems like a fast way to get a ride in an ambulance i suppose lol
