![Mirrr x BUS5 - กี่เหตุผล (1000REASONS) [Live Session]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6Ta00hFr2qU/mqdefault.jpg)
I bought this bike one year ago because of this video. I installed Shinko tires, carburetor with a 110 jet, jt sprockets, and a exhaust. I now have 4000 miles on it. It's been a very reliable bike and I have no regrets buying it.
how we looking now?
@@diegomendias7597 I'm at 5000 miles still perfect!
Top speed? I have some interstate on my commute wanted to make sure I dont get run over
@@aaronwright9121 mine will do 70mph , if I go on the highway I stay in the right lane. You dont have much passing power.
where did you get yours? Got a link
it's awesome to see that you aren't just shitting on the bike because it's cheap. That kind of attitude is really refreshing, and you actually care about people with more financial struggle.
Exactly why I respect this guy, he’s got the best clips too
That’s why I subscribed . He’s humble
Bro get a job
Absolutely
Yes!
I just bought one. The one thing I highly recommend 1st is change the oil to Rotella 15w40 JASO MA approved. The oil in it is super thin. Next adjust the valves. Intake .003 Exhaust .005. The sell them to tight. Hard time starting when cold. Top dead center compression stroke the rockers had zero play on the valve spring and actually was still pushing down on the valve loosing compression. Then the carb they run a little lean. Recommend 2 full turns. Go all the way in and then back off 2 turns. Also the factory spark plug Torch are trash. There was a shop/sales owner said 70% of the plugs would melt off the electrode. He now swapped them out with NGK out of the crate. After doing that it starts instantly and purrs when cold. Hot idles perfect instead of erratic idle. Awesome video!
Update 3/12/22: Since then I have done a lot of mods on this bike and can say it’s a different bike now. Zanella digital dash, Nibbi PE30 carburetor, Pod foam filter, Nibbi intake, Nibbi performance coil, deleted catalytic converter and spark arrestor, all lights converted to LED, drive chain upgrade, 17 tooth front sprocket, upgraded horn to HWY low pitch blaster, and where the reflectors are on the fork I mounted running lights. Top speed now 68-70 mph with a 250 lbs person flat ground . Stock was 60 mph. After break in, carb upgrade and freeing up the exhaust woke it up completely. I have 2000 miles on it and it’s running strong. With gas prices the bike has become part of my commute. Use my truck 2 days a week and the Hawk 3 days. 40 mile round trip to work and 10 of it is HWY. $600 in mods is completely worth it and drivability and dependability has improved 100%.
If someone doesn’t have the technical expertise as you do, I guess it would be a struggle.
I’m interested in getting this as my first bike. Not familiar with working on bikes so I feel like it would be difficult for me to assemble and do the technical changes you mentioned. Would you recommend it for a complete beginner?
@@fahdcoding8701 what he mentioned is very simple maintaince, at worst you could take it to any auto shop and pay them to do the setup, hell so long as you can change the oil and install the front wheel you could drive it to them and have someone once over everything, but if your willing mto put in time there re so many videos of people setting up hawks,tbr7s, tt250s, and magicians (all the same engine) you could brute force it in a afternoon with some very simple tools.
If you do feel like going to a shop I would call around and see who's going to work with you and if there's any motorcycle dealerships or atv dealers willing to do the assembly (I would not under any circumstance recommend buying them pre-assembled because they don't often survive shipping, they are much better packaged in the original crate shipped from the manufacturer)
@@wayne975 installing handle bars, a front axle and a speedometer are hard? If you have zero idea what your doing yes but if you can follow a video it's nothing, hell it ships with a video to tell you how to put it together
@@wayne975 please look at my comment from 5 days ago(granted the spelling is pretty bad I notice now), yes I know that because I myself said the same thing, also you state it's not something to be done by beginners, then reply to watch it videos for how to assemble it, which is it, can a beginner assemble it with instructions or not? I was saying so long as you're following instructions it doesn't matter if you've never held a wrench before you should be fine....
Im not very religious, but I fully respect his praying before riding on the street, he obviously realizes the danger.....notice how he doesn't pray before dirt riding, the safer way to ride!
Amén🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yeah well, I rather pray knowing that there is a creator listening than not doing anything and wishing I had done it.
You dont have to be religious to be spiritual.
Modern religion is a joke anyway, but I definitely believe in a higher power
Belief in goat herders beliefs, uneducated and walking across the desert does not serve us well in this day and age. In fact it keeps the whole world down
Amen
To be honest, for 1400 bucks that thing looks pretty decent
I have been thinking about getting one for a few months. Sounds like they are reliable! Cheap entertainment!
Bike Ryder I owned one. It’s cheap it drives and it will not take a beating at all. But for driving around town it’s great.
@mike brink,
Yeah, I saw a chinese 450 copy of a ktm/ husqvarna and its $5000. Theres no way when you can get a nice used KTM for that money.
@@lordofthestings yea any chinese injection model seems to come with a crazy price tag and yea same as you if I were to by off road it would have to be propper brand I.e ktm husky yam ext ext
do not buy it. the front forks are trash the frame is trash and breaks and bends from normal riding. bike runs ok but not good. Has no power.
You would be %100 better off buying a used 90s name brand bike.
Unless you only ride 4 times a year and only on the road
dont buy this crap
My car was stolen and I have enough to buy this.Thank you for the review Sean.
hope you've found your car by now
If you got this I hope it's done you well! Hope you're doing ok!
Did you ever buy it
@@vl3s551 it probably got stolen too
How's that bike treating you?
It’s an old school engine, low cost. DIY saves money as well. There’s a TH-camr, MotoCheez, who has made a series about the Hawk and the improvements he’s made along the way.
Here in Philippines, we actually created a huge community of riders owning the same Chinese sportbike (the one on my profile pic.) I tell you, it was a blast of fun when we ride together and even just hang out on 7/11. Fun is not always on horsepower.
Thats what's up!
Pinoy repp'n 💪 you know what if its reliable in the Philippines.. that just made up my mind
I wanna get a group of guys together for something like that
whats the displacement on the bike?
True.
is it hyosungs? those are so cool
Remember those "toy looking things" you mentioned on the video you posted in the second channel? Those were meant to go on the forks to hold the speedometer cable and brake lines, the speedo cable got smashed without it, not a fault of the bike itself.
and install the front signals ya fookin tool!
My thoughts exactly, a crushed brake line will b next if you don't install cable guides ASAP!
But he owns a bike dealership!! Lol
Ted Smart I installed the back ones fine and the front ones backwards so when I press left it says left on the back and right on the front
@@ecgwyo Don't think he cares too much about that bike lol
My daughter bought one un 2018 just to run around at college with, saving her car for trips home. She's got 6300 miles on it now and she rides the crap outta it. She had made some modes, carb, cables, shift lever, kick starter(she used an 1983 Kawasaki 250 for that) and changed the rear sprocket. It's still running good and it's on and off road alot. Also remember those 2 toys in the box, yeah those are for your cables in the front.
Do you need a license for it ?? Please let me know.
@@jaydentimsans425 Anything above 50 cc requires a motorcycle license (or endorsement). So yes.
I have to think after spending the time and money for those mods, maybe you would be better off to go buy a used Japanese bike.
Also, at least you're likely to find someone locally it will work on the japanese bike.
Can you get it street legal in California?
I ride a hawk 250 in the Virgin Islands everywhere, other than the clutch cable breaking and it getting stolen three times it’s been great.
They returned it lol
Must be pretty decent if that many people are trying to swipe it.
I’m in the Virgin Islands looking at this review right now. I wanna get me something small as I live on the north side and wanna have some weekend fun
I get my $1,400 Stimmy and this shows up in my recommended.
hmm.
😂😂😂
I Kno right
Do it. I did. I don't regret it at all, even though I do need a rear master cylinder out of the box. I'm not even mad, at that price. Literally a 15 dollar fix.
You’re supposed to buy food and pay your bills with that “stimmy”, not piss it at Chinese toys on Amazon. God I hate people and this parasite government handout culture we live in.
@@DucknCoverin it was a joke buddy. Lighten up.
Your presentation is unique; humble, funny and complimentary. In a world of satire and constant criticizing your approach demonstrating alternative views on what would be a issue or a negative is refreshing. 👍
That's probably due to his Christian upbringing
Well said and I totally agree. Seems like a really good dude and I really enjoyed him quoting scripture. Refreshing in this nasty world we live in
*Beard:* “Could this thing be a reliable mode of transportation?”
*Speedometer:* “I don’t know dawg.”
The Speedos quit working. Mine stopped at 1800 miles on my hawk. Replaced mine with a digital amazon special. Ive got an Nx125 and a nx 650. But around town and on back roads I find myself choosing the hawk. I have modified mine. New carb, jetting, ported head. Removed a baffle in the muffler and of course a uni filter. After all that work it might have 20hp. Now a year later i have almost 8000 miles on my hawk. Its been a blast.
Today's Chinese bikes use an updated Honda CG125 engine, with larger displacement and an updated counterbalance. This engine was developed in the 70's for developing countries that rarely do maintenance and only service their hard working motorcycles for repair. It was an engine designed for long maintenance intervals, reliability, low cost, and minimal servicing. Today, it's most common to be found in the 230cc variant with electric start and backup kick start. The engines are super reliable, parts are easy to come by, and maintenance is easy and well documented. The build quality and plastics might be sketchy but it'll likely be a bike you can pass down through the generations as a cheap learner.
Rejetting the Hawk 250 & moddidying the air intake makes a huge difference in power. In fact it feels almost twice as powerful. The problems ive noticed arent engine problems they have all been problems with the transmission, clutch , chain , wheels and cables. My speedo never worked from new. I have 4228 miles on it and have spent more replacing broken parts with better parts than the original purchase price. It has sat 95% of the time ive had it
Hmm so what mods should I get and where should I get them? I really want this thing to have better acceleration AND top end speed
Looking forward to your response, thanks.
Weird. I haven't had any clutch or trans issues with mine. I run Rotella 10w40 in it and change it every 200 miles though. Tried a few other oils but got some clutch fade when in city traffic.
We have a Husqvarna 501, 300 and that same Hawk. The kids like the hawk because the Husky's are savage. That 300 2 stroke is a monster. The hawk is very manageable and goes every where we can with the husky's. You have to be a good rider because you don't have the power to onion out so the kids don't get into as much trouble. We ride in the mountain areas of Idaho and Montana, and the sand dunes.
People always get hung up on brands, as long as you’re having fun who cares what brand you’re on. Just have fun
Idk, maybe the people who don't want endless warranty claims from subpar quality components made of Chinesium pot metal? Just a guess.
@@phantomshtter Yet, people aren't having those issues...
Amazon taking over the world kinda scares me 😂
Amazon will fall one day, just like everyone else
You mean China? Yea. However, it is changing RIGHT NOW.
Yep... there's a tracking devise built in it
Lol, he's only rich because people keep buying!
Just like a drug dealer, blame the buyer not the seller.
Amazon bought my favorite track to ride on to make a warehouse
Bought one of these used for $400 and cleaned it up, adjusted the valves, new carb and jet and the thing ripped! Sadly I didn't have space for it and ended up selling it for $900
I've had mine for 3 years and love it
Hugo know where i can find bolts with nuts for the valve adjustments !?! Any information is a blessing!
@@dustinketelhut6046 Txpowersport.com or call them the have everything for hawk 250
What's the top speed?
ROMEO 60
@@markmartin5364 60mph or kph ?
Boy I am so thankful I ran into this bike today. This is the first review video I had to watch and with all the positive comments I’m definitely getting this bike and tuning it up! Thank you all 👍
I had one of these and did light modding, new shift lever, Carb, Jets, exhaust, and had to replace rear shock (factory one broke on a poor weld.) I rode this thing all over the fire roads and trails in AR around Jasper. It was a blast and kept up with my buddy's KLR 650 everywhere minus the highway. I would recommend these to anyone who is wondering if they would like Dual sport riding and doesn't want to spend Honda or Yamaha money to find out. Sold it for about $200 less than I bought it for when I moved overseas.
Srk: the bike is super reliable
Brand new bike: speedometer stops working
Hell, I'm shocked it had a speedo for 1400
Do you think it might have something to do with the "dropped" during the off road testing he did.....same thing happened to my DRZ but it was the drive for the speedo. Good chance to test that amazon warranty.
@@n95265 the novelty toys he was confused about in the leftover parts box were the cable routers for the forks. Notice his cables are just hanging out to be caught, pinched or crushed.
My klr650 has broken the speedo 3x over 80.000miles... Not a biggie in my mind. Cheers
@@STho205 that might be why his speedometer stopped
The speedometer was such a common failure that CSC replaced it with a digital one on their version of this bike. The CSC one is more expensive, but they do assemble it for you and do all the registration paperwork, which saves a lot of time. Mine arrived fully assembled with a temporary license plate already on it.
I've been pretty happy with it. It ran a lot stronger (but noisier) after I did the post-breakin valve adjustment. I also put a smaller rear s
procket on it to lower the revs a little at higher speeds, because I commute and spend most of my time at 40-50 mph. I don't really know the top speed because I get tired of the buffeting (due to no windshield) well before it runs out of acceleration.
I'm curious if anyone has ever successfully kick started one of these, or if the kickstarter is basically just decorative. ;) I've never been able to get mine started with it. Admittedly it might be bad technique, since this is my first bike with a kickstarter.
Thanks for bringing the word....it gives your post honesty and strength
And that's because of you guys had I not seen this video it might not have popped back in my head for some more years. since watching this video two or three months back I have gotten my motorcycle endorsement by taking my msf course through Harley-Davidson which was awesome riding that Harley-Davidson street 500 and now I'm just saving up for my hawk DLX appreciate you and your content.
My speedo went out when I had put roughly the same amount of mils after I did my break in heat cycles and such. Ordered digital tac for it and it works great!
Fernando Ramos did u use cable headers
Nice honest out of the box review. I’d love to get two of these and ride with my son down the road and back on some trails and fire roads. 14hp not a lot but yeah you can work with that.
Thanks for sharing your experience and advice. I can’t wait to get mine on the road. Great video. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for this video. It has sent me down a path for the perfect dual sport that won’t break my pocket and is brand new.
Bigger mikuni carb with Jets and pod filter really opens these up . Feels like 5hp gain for around 100$. Also remove every bolt on the bike and loctite them. I have 3k miles on mine with no breakdowns just maintenance.
Danny Bushaw (know where i can find bolts with nuts for the valve adjustments !?! Any information is a blessing!
@@dustinketelhut6046 pls explain what you msan
Could you provide a link for the carb you got? I just ordered a bike and would love to get a carb for it.
@@justinzullo1917 no need for a new carb if you have a dremel. If you wanna get a new carb it's called a PZ30 on amazon or Ebay. More importantly the main jet needs to be upgraded to a 110 or so depending on your area.
Myself and 7 of my buddies all bought the Apollo 125cc pit bikes back when we were in high school. It was some of the most fun we’ve ever had, rode the hell out of them on the trails and back roads. Held together surprisingly well for the amount of abuse they got😂
How big of a person can a 125cc handle?
To be honest there's a lot of people out there just getting a crappy attitude because it's not some glamorous bike and honestly I don't think that people that have a 100 bad-ass bikes should be reviewing these but u but you changed my mind on that You gave this an open minded look and I really appreciate the positive outlook thank you so much this may be in my near future
i cant believe you reviewed this. this was gonna be my first bike... HARD NO GO I REPEAT HARD NO GO!!!
This seems like a legit bike for commuting around town. Throw some street tires on it. Put a storage rack on it. The price is great.
Motocheez, Goodol'boys and Hawk 250 are three youtube channels with great videos on the Hawk 250. I've been beating one(couple videos on my channel) for about 4yrs with minimal maintenance. Loctite and rechecking factory assembly are the golden keys to a happy Hawk 250.
I've been thinking about getting one for cheap transportation and hunting plus the fun. I've been riding motorcycles for 53 years, and I still love that single cylinder 57 Triumph I had. this bike brought back a few memories. I do believe I'll have to get one.
After he said we took this thing off road it went to a state farm ad 🤯
Mine went to old spice
Dawn dish soap cleaning a duck.
I'm looking to buy this thing soon and I'm really glad I found your video. I wanted to see how it is first and it seems to be handling quite well. I want it because it's pretty and seems fuel efficient.
Time to test your warranty! The big question now is, will they send you a new speedo or a replacement bike and consider what you have as a throw away! :-) Take care and God bless! Thank you for all you do and share with all of us!
Prayers up! Thanks for the vid...gives me options for my first cheap bike!
I bought one, was pondering it then watched this back in Dec 20.. I have made some upgrades.. BUY THE WARRANTY !!!! Thats all I will say ... I used mine.. Could not be happier...
The Chinese bikes have come a long ways in the past 10-15 years. Obviously they are not "big 4" quality but for the price, they get the job done. We've owned a couple. Biggest complaints - replace the carb with something better and if you're doing a lot of rocky desert riding, upgrade the tires.
Good Friday morning Sean! Thx for all your vids....so helpful to me as I’m just getting into bikes!
Jonathon Coffey The comment didn’t necessarily mean this particular bike sir but referring to his vids in general or do I need to break that down for you?!
@@CutandShoot5x5 I wouldn't respond to him he's just going around saying negative things hes what they call a internet troll
I like the drone shots, good job!
Thanks for an honest review I'm gonna get one
Bought this bike a year and a half ago, for the first month or so it was a pretty rough wear in period. The electric start wasn't reliable at all and it was very easy to kill the bike in first. After that frustrating period, it's great. I've changed the sprockets but haven't done anything else to it and I love it. I would reccomend this bike to anyone on a budget for a street bike or to any learner's who might be looking for a good bike to work with. I wouldn't recommend trying to use this bike for the highway or for popping mega dank nooners down your streets, but other than that give it a try.
Edit: forgot to mention this, the speedometer sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, but it's very easy to know your speed on the bike as you have to shift gears every 10mph or so. 2nd will take you up to 30, 3rd around 39, 4th 50, and 5th 60-65 if you push it
Hey man, I wanna learn how to ride motorcycles or bikes and I’m looking to buy something. Is it still worth it?
@@datboiLJ_ Id say that it depends. The bike does sit very tall compared to other motorcycles, so if you are a shorter guy then the seat height may make it too uncomfortable to properly learn. However, the low price is very nice for a beginner bike as you can learn the basics on it while still having plenty of fun without worrying about getting bored, as you can just upgrade to another bike! In my opinion this is the perfect beginner bike as long as you don't expect too much out of it, it can't go on the highway as it caps out around 55-60mph if i remember correctly, but its perfectly fine for pretty much everything else. If you have any questions feel free to ask, i loved my Hawk and it was the first bike i ever rode.
@@SnowWhite-mi8mk so how short would you say is too short? And I heard the speedometer is not the best is that still the case?
@@datboiLJ_I'd probably say like sub 5'8-9 might be a little uncomfortable, at the least 5'7. And from what I remember the speedometer wasn't completely useless, because it worked for long enough for me to get used to the gear system and how fast I could go with each gear. The rpm's were still 100% accurate, plus the actual speedometer itself wasn't even all that bad, only off by around 10mph after I put in sprockets. Before the sprockets it was only off by 5~ mph from what I remember
@@datboiLJ_ although I have since sold the bike and moved up to a ninja 300 so I'm not sure how well it's fairing currently
That bike looks really nice tbh and from the videos I've watched and seeing the different views of ppl just like him. I can't wait to get this bike after I come back from the army
Dont do it bro trust me
@@bobbycigarillo why????
@@tristanh11 I have a chineese 80cc 4-stroke gasoline motorized bike and over the almost 3 years I've had it. Only 12 miles per hour about maximum. I've had to work on it a bit. Have time, money and be able to work on it yourself or it will put you in the poor house.
I had a Yamaha DT 250 Enduro as a teenager. It was a 2 stroke with plenty of power and really cool sound. Miss it.
The fact that you kept the video very unbias. Even when you own a dealership earns my respect. Insta sub
Thanks for doing this review! I bought basically the same bike here in Mexico. Only real differences are mind has USD forks, a rear disk brake and some lights. Its been pretty decent, I have ridden it 3000 miles and treated it like a normal enduro bike. The suspension bottoms a lot and its underpowered but otherwise pretty decent for the money.
Perfect 1st bike to learn on, or for weekend fun. Hard to find used 250's for that price.
Easy to find..
Richard Kafka was my first bike basically. Did 3600 miles of learning on it and bought a 650. Transition went well.

Nice that you give aBible quote. Thanks for sharing.
Great information and breakdown of a bike that I may be purchasing in the near future thank you 🤠👍
More about the hawk please do some upgrades and give your opinion, thanks keep up the good work
Talk about a trip down memory lane. This was my first bike back in 2016. It was actually a good bike. I dropped it numerous times and it kept running. I got it for 1,100 back then and sold it for 1000. Sucks to see the price went up though. Great video btw!
john know where i can find bolts with nuts for the valve adjustments !?! Any information is a blessing!
dustin ketelhut Your best shot is to go to a local hardware store that carries all different kinds of bolts. Take your original one with you and maybe they will have an exact match. Most name brand stores and motorcycle dealerships don’t carry the parts the looking for since it is a Chinese bike. Hope that was helpful, good luck.
@@Dirtysouth171 what about buying it on Ebay or something . ??? Idont trust Amazon or something
A few months back I bought a new TBR7 which is very close to the hawk, same motor just few cosmetic difference. Yes they are slow, poorly suspended with a somewhat cheap look but, they are also reliable as long as maintenance is kept in check and cheaply modified for better performance which also increases the fun factor! I`m also impressed with the little Chinese bike, a bargain for the price!
Just got mine in a trade with 90 miles on it 👍 can't complain it was basically free rides just fine..just gotta take care of it...got a couple buddies who beat on these and they're still going...
I dont know how many gears that thing has but I bet you could do some sprocket work on it for dirt
I live in pa, crazy I knew you were here too just by looking at the scenery 😂
Like you channel...I have a hawk 2020 had little over 9000 miles on it .done a lot of mods will do 93mph. On highway I love it .
I bought this bike about 3 years ago. Got the mikuni carb and jet, a digital speedometer, a stronger battery and some tires (about another $300) and it was a great way to learn the basics of how to work on a bike and ride a bike and build confidence before I threw down money for a "real name brand bike".
Would love to see a review with the SSR XF250 and the Lifan X-Pect 200 and this or the Tao Motor TBR7 250. Great video!
Compared to Japanese bikes from the late 80s and early 90s spot on and we all can remember how hard those old bikes were to kill..
nice review, thanks
Thank you for the review, but a special thank you for including the verse
I dig your enthusiasm about every single bike you present. It makes your videos on both channels very enjoyable. As far as the bike, I'd be very wary of a bike from Amazon... But, if price only, why not?
I compare the hawk to a early 90' honda xr250. That's what it meant to represent.
Exactly! Or a dr200
good honest review txs...
my dirt bike days are mostly behind me...I pre ran baja 1000 as a part of a race team four times that is the extreme end of off road. going off road on a trail having lunch and a chat about life in a field five miles up a creek in solitude....this thing would be the cats meow...
I hope these stick around cause I really want one of these and the idea of a bike being delivered to my house tickles me to death lol
Dude Amazon could make a powersports dealer
I bought mine a month ago I use it for transportation everyday replace things on it but other than that it's pretty reliable
WoW!! You got my thumbs up at Job 19:25!!! Also I do really dig your topics
What's hilarious is the early honda aluminum frames were heavier than the steel frames they replaced. Took them a few years to lighten it up.
Srk videos are legit
Could you provide the actual amazon link to it where it shows that option for the extended warranty? The links I have found at amazon don't show that option.
“It’s not what you ride but where you’re going” got so much out of that
great video thanks!
Sees speedometers broken... also Sean, “actually seems kinda reliable”
I own the Hawk DLK EFI 2019. I love it. Do wish it had a 6th gear.
I wish my harley did also. Big motor just for 5 gears..... or they can at least make the 5 gears bigger that way it doesn't rev so high at 60 miles an hour.
I hope that you will review gpx motorcycles!
I enjoy your honesty, and humor!
I had one growing up on a farm it was a blast to ride very very reliable bike too sold it a while back but I wish I still had it
I fell out of my chair laughing when the speedometer was broken 😂😂
Lol
It was funny,, but not THAT funny
So how long do you think it'll be until you can just order direct from the dealer and not go to a dealership at all if you choose? That would be great.
I've had two of the predecessors. One I bought new in 2008 - Portland Oregon, and another 2008 that I bought in 2015 from some guy in Pasco Florida. Change the jet, change the sprocket, but leave the exhaust. You'll get 70 mpg at 55 mph, with a top spd of 88 on the highway. I've had mine everywhere from Tillamook Oregon to Tampa Florida. Great commuter bike and fun off road. And yeah, I broke my speedo cable the first time off road, but the warranty covered it.
Coo isn't it small for tht far.
Bikes and Beards, I absolutely, love love love your videos!!!
I love that bike man..
Commas, man. Commas.
Just shove a 450cc engine in there then tell your friends to race you with on similar cc to stalk of the bike to mess with them.
B.J. Builds shit would break when it idles
I was going to buy one of these but went with the Pitster Pro XTR 250 instead. After researching "China" bikes the Kayo brand seems to be the best. All of them use the 223cc Honda clone engine. I'm very happy with it though. 1200 highway miles and zero problems. I've uploaded a couple videos on youtube if anybody's interested. "It's not what you're riding" as Sean says.
I have a tt250 made by Csc. It is almost an exact replica of the Hawk 250. The speedo cable constantly breaks on that gauge cluster. You can purchase a digital one that the 2020 hawks and Csc has been putting on theirs for a while that has no issues.
It's been fun watching Sean ride it, but not for me. Last year I bought a nice clean/running 1975 Honda CB750 for $2000. Not that much more than this bike costs. Maybe if you want an off road bike to trash and not worry about, this is a good option, but I'm sure you could get a used Honda or Yamaha for around the same price.
I had a bushlader, that bike made brake, I sold it got my self the gatoma 200cc, same power I kicked ass last week after racing the guy with a new Honda XR bushlader....
Good review for a low budget bike
Nice review
I put a digital cluster on mine for about $30. It's actually accurate unlike the stock unit, has a tach and doesn't use a cable drive. EBay exhaust for $80 helps them breath, or if your handy with a welder cutting the stock cat out works too.
Curious how the warranty works out. Other than that, it seems like a really good deal, especially for the budget minded.
Cool bike, I’m guessing it comes with a title? Did you have to have the bike state inspection as well,
This bike is sold in South Africa as a Big Boy TSR 250. It has a little more power in the South African variant, but only like 4hp more. It is sold with a 2 year 20 000km warranty, pre assembled, and has a PFI done on every bike sold. It really is a regular purchasing experience of a fairly competent bike. They have made a good name for themselves in South Africa and it is a good option for a cheaper starter bike.
i love the review
