Is the rear tire and front tire both $90 individually or both for 90 I’m confused the picture shows both
@@riverstonehomegroup1167 individually
Riders may not believe me but my Hawk is more stable on the highway than my Honda XR650L…for me that is. I couldn’t figure it out at first but then I did. My weight is about 170 which balances out to a lower center of gravity on the Hawk…just feels solid at high speeds. Since the XR is heavier and taller, my center of gravity is higher and creates a top heavy feeling at high speeds. I’ve been riding for 40 years now.
I can agree with you on that, My xr650L hates to be ridden above 65 though it will do it
Be careful though the Chinese Hawk sometimes has crappy frame welds. Inspect it well!
Very cool and good information
thank you!!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
Ha! Looks like a similar journey for me. I just bought a great e-bike which I love. You are right though it's not great for roads, so I just bought a 150cc Chinese scooter and while I'm waiting for it to arrive I'm already looking at motorcycles haha
Good review. I Plan on getting this bike to learn how to ride and do Doordash on to save for a better $6k+ bike.
Thank you for the vid and bike tips! Now that the price of the Hawk is within a few hundred of the Hawk DLX, I am considering the DLX. MOTOCHEEZ and HANZ DID IT! and others on TH-cam seem to prefer the efi and say the DLX is more responsive, torquey, and quicker. MOTOCHEEZ compared the efi version to a carb modified Hawk and said he felt the DLX still performed better, even after the carb mods. Love the look of your red Hawk though! That is definitely the nicest looking stock color combo of all the Hawks!
yeah it seems like the DLX performs a little bit better with the added benefit of being ready to go without mods and an even better fork.. can't get mad at that! I chose to go carbed cause I wanted to learn how to do this stuff but next bike will surely be EFI.. I'm already looking at supersports every single day haha won't be long before you see a "I upgraded to X" titled video lol
I don't recommend wasting the money for the EFI version. Is it better? When it works it can be. When it doesn't, then the bike is scrap. The so-called Bosch system isn't Bosch. It's also only warranted for 90 days and a search shows no replacement parts. Can you go aftermarket efi? Yes, but you'll need a tuner and there are no maps so you'll also need a MAF reader costing several hundred. Replacement of a failed system can easily cost more than a new bike.
Also, with the EFI bike, you can't change out exhaust since the EFI needs a remap when you do. Don't quote me, but I think that only the CA version of the DLX has MAF bungs that can maybe adapt, but not sure.
Or? You can just stay carbed. I recommend you do. I have 50 years of riding both carb and EFI bikes. Carb has distinct advantages for low-cost and longterm longevity when replacement parts streams are suspect.
More fun to ride a slow bike dast than a fast bike slow. I found the vintage 750s to be a good balance. My 1976 CB750 is more than adequate, and thats after 3 years and 15k miles of riding. Nothing wrong woth a 250. I'm looking at a Hawk 250 just to have a cheap enduro.
If you do, trash the LEAN carb and get a Nibbi n28 ! It will bolt right up to the factory manifold. If you do nothing else, it will give you the best BANG for the BUK.
Did the mods affect your mpg's ?
Hey bro what kind of jet should I go with in the nibbi carburetor
Sounds great with that gearing and exhaust. I managed to score one of these for 700 bucks used and it rides great I just hate the quiet sound. I find my cluch to be stiffer than most bikes but I’m not sure if some greasing would fix that
thats a steal!! my clutch got alot lighter over time so maybe it will just break in a bit, its never as loose as other bikes though, the exhaust is a little loud but it was for sure worth it
😎💪🏾
Hellooo.
Just wanted to ask a quick question .
Whats the difference between xpro hawk 250 and rps hawk 250
I just went to buy one from Amazon and I got a message saying it's not DOT approved and unable to be registered in Texas....kind of bummed
I know this video is 11 months old now, and I probably will not get a response but here go's anyway. When you purchase a motorcycle from Amazon, do they notarize the MCO? The reason I ask is because my state requires the MCO be notarized by the dealer/seller or the DMV will not process the paperwork for registration. Thankyou.
I recommend Chinese scooters for the same reasons.. you’ll learn how to work on them and whe; you consider that most people don’t know what A clutch is anymore, they ease them into the whole “two wheels in traffic” thing with out the gears.
On the hawk though, I was soo close to buying one a few years back but ended up finding a basically new rebel250 for less. Loved that bike and while it was definitely higher quality than any of the Chinese stuff I’ve owned, you can’t really find nice ones for $1500 anymore. However I’ve put 10’s of thousands of trouble free miles on Chinese scoots that we’re running $60 bore kits and other dirt cheap upgrades. They do fine if you respect and take care of em.
If you get the dual-sport itch again, I highly recommend the Xpro Templar X 250. My first bike was the CSC TT250 which is a variant of the Hawk. The Templar is more of a real dirt bike in its capabilities, and feels like an upgrade in almost every way from the TT250. Some of the parts are of aftermarket-quality like the pegs and the shifter, comparable to what I had to add to the TT.
And it's a true 250 so you do get more power and a sixth gear to match the Rebel. With a $2000 MSRP, it's a steal if it ever comes back in stock. The body panels match up with the 2007 to 2009 Suzuki RM-Z250.
Well I do recommend these bikes for one reason that you didn't mention. It is a world of difference riding where you are and in a major city. These bikes are good to see if you want to put up with traffic. You have to realize that there is a 4 thousand pound car next to you and they are texting on their phone and you don't exist.
That's a really good point, visibility on these bikes is great
Where did you get this hawk 250 from. Great video
Amazon! Link in the description
I had a kx 250 but got a hawk recently because it's cheap and I need a way to the gym and work for now, I'm 19 and broke as hell. It gets the job done but to be completely honest it's way underpowered and heavy as hell. I can't wait to upgrade to a 600
Get a Nibbi n28. It will bolt up to the manifold. change the sprockets to a 17/45, and it will be a whole different bike.
@@johnvolstad5870 I got the 600😄
I'm on my moms channel, that's why there's s pic of a lady but I just recently got the hawk 250 for my beginners bike and I love it, it's so cheap on gas and really reliable, the only thing in not a fan of is the gearing, I feel like I already need something bigger and faster, ut says 80 on the speedometer but I dont feel like itll reach 80 stock
Yeah you definitely want to change the gearing, I run 17 in the front 45 in the back that's pretty popular for this bike so you can actually get a usable range of gears, definitely recommend that. The stock speedometer is terrible though I wouldn't even pay attention to that, an upgrade is worth it and it's a lot easier than it seems. This is my first bike and I was able to do almost all the mods my self besides swapping my tires and rear sprocket
Should I get the hawk or the Honda navi? The reason I'm leaning hawk is because I can take it to and from school more with the speed of traffic.
the navi is basically a scooter, no clutch or anything like that, so its basically if you want a motorcycle or a scooter lol
@@BodieMoto the Navi would virtually be indestructible and need close to no maintenance. I'm just worried about the hawk not being able to go 250 mi stretches without breaking down.
I just bought a Trail Master TM38. Has EFI and water cooled engine. A KTM knock off. Break in is rough. Trying to get it in neutral is hit and miss. Tires on pavement suck. Too much vibration. Chain sucks but I'll use it till it stretches. Rear shock needs adjustment. Speedometer doesn't work. Yup, typical Chinese bike. If it doesn't get better after tire change and break in I'm gonna sell it.
What would be the main difference between EFI Fuel injection model and carb model, I’ve been deciding between the two for the past 2 months and don’t know which to choose. Fuel injection has better front shocks but can you do more upgrades with carb version?
Yeah the carb version is the one you want if you're gonna upgrade stuff, it's possible to flash the EFI but its complicated right now. I believe people are working on solutions though. The carb model is nice for a first bike since you learn how a carb works and it's so easy to get to that you can mess with it all super easy
which area of MA are you riding? it looks like a nice place to ride
Swansea area!
Your lucky bikes aren't allowed on the beach where I live😔
ah, you did do the sprocket upgrade judging by the links in your description. You still don't think it's fast enough?
I guess its fast "enough" for everything outside of highway riding but I feel like I am ready for me or maybe part of me is just chasing a bit more speed.. I would like to have to nice highway cruises, maybe an R7 would suit me a little bit more while still keeping me under 140 mph lol
Haha, I know exactly what you are saying. I was looking at a BMW R1100GS before buying the TBR7 which would have been the same price and almost bought it. Now I am so happy I am starting with a slower 250cc bike. You ride your motorcycle like you drive your car, just like they told us during the range course. I drive like a maniac, at least that’s what others tell me. If my first bike can easily hit 100mph+ I’d probably be dead in a month 🤣
You know what they say...it's more fun to drive a slow bike fast than drive a fast bike slow lol.
That is spot on 👍🏽
Im gonna get this for a joy ride along with a scooter I have. My scooter goes 50mph so I don't really care about going that fast I like to stick to back roads anyways 👌🙂. Also gonna try offroad with it I think
Get off-road tires i tried and slide everywhere
Hello, I want to know if I need a motorcycle license to drive in NJ? Thank you
Yes you do
What do you think the top speed straight out the box no upgrades
50 mph
Naw 60ish I got mine a lil past 60 5th gear pull pretty good
How tall are you and what’s your weight? Sorry I know that’s kinda out there. It I want a reference
6ft 220lbs, short legs long torso
In answer to the question, Me. I want an inexpensive, fun, brand new motorcycle. 60yrs and still riding.
Bingo!
I'm a bigger guy at 250 pounds and got a 40 minute commute on 50 mph highway, looking for a cheap motorcycle to get to and from would this work out with the mods and gear size changes
how tall are you? with the mods it would handle that just fine if the flow of traffic is 50-55mph. The issue is if everyone is going 70+ you might feel a little unsafe and try to push the bike to its max to keep up. It struggles to get to 65+ so if you believe thats its safe for you to ride on that highway at 50-60mph then the bike will handle that just fine with all the mods. Faster than that is really pushing it though, especially for 40 minutes at a time
@@BodieMoto im 5'9 and im in nyc so max is 60 for short stints when no ones on the road but realistically its 45 to 55. Would do some deliveries too and have the bike pay for itself. How did the bike handle those speeds before the mods though?
@@chrissantana2858 might be a bit tall of a bike but for all those things you mentioned the bike is perfect for that and will handle it just fine. I started modding my bike basically on day 1 so I can't comment on how it is unmodded, I wouldn't recommend buying this bike without having some time to buy and set up all the mods
@@BodieMoto copy thanks for the info and quick reply 👍
When I get my Hawk we can go riding I can’t wait I’m going to murder it out in black ha
So this does have a key ignition that comes with it?
yes
@@BodieMoto THANK GOD, I was worried it didn't have one, thank you for your time and reply! :]
Should I put 17 45’s on my dlx 250 with the fuel injection?
If you want it to be a little bit less torquey with a little more top end the yeah, I don't know what the stock DLX sprockets are though. If you're already hitting 70mph GPS right now then I wouldn't bother with sprockets
@@BodieMoto haven’t got it yet, so I guess I’ll ride it around and see if I’m in the high rpm’s. Like you said I like to have a nice low rpm cruise don’t care much for torque
@@BodieMoto and hey thank you bro keep up the vids, you’re helping out so many people out there and you’ve got great bud quality🙏🏻
This motorcycle is street legal bro? I’m asking because i want to ride this motorcycle in New Jersey Good video!
Yes it comes all ready to be registered, mine is titled and plated with no issues
Did you ever get it ? I’m in New Jersey too and would like to know if it was hard to get on the street
Hey just wondering if you still enjoy the bike, any issues or regrets?
I'm thinking of buying one and making it into a vintage style tracker
Would this bike handle wheelies?
still loving the bike, right now I don't right it as often because its cold but when it was still 55+ everyday I was riding it almost every single day, plenty of people online do wheelies with this thing but I would say you probably have to be careful letting down the front end, the front suspension isn't super high quality so I would try not to abuse it, but it wheelies fine for people who can wheelie low CC bikes well!
@@BodieMoto Warning. The steel they used for their rims is very poor and thin. I Taco'd my front rim.
How tall do you have to be to ride the bike
I would say at least 5 foot 9, even then it's gonna be tough it's a really tall bike
I’m 12 and my dad is getting me and my bro and him the bike do you have any ideas how me and my bro could ride it? We are both pretty much 5 foot
And until we have our motor license we’re gonna be driving it on my dads 10 acres
@@aidenthegoat1053 are you sure it's this exact bike? There's a smaller version that would be way better for you guys. I believe it's called the hawk 125 tell your dad to look into it. These might be better when you're older!
Well my dad said he wants us to have the bikes so when we’re older if we need to get to his house we can
My only question is whats the gas mileage?
Around 60-70 miles per gallon
@@BodieMoto hot damn
i hope you can shift better now my dude
Do you need motorcycle license for this
Yes
maybe the bad rep ,comes from blowing stop sigh , like you did.
Where lol
No horsepower. For beginners
