thank you! I realize these bikes are mostly going to be bought by beginners like myself so I tried to pass on everything I learned. Sometimes people who make motorcycle videos assume the viewers know all the little things already lol forums and facebook groups are outstanding for this bike though, tons of people really taking their time to give good detailed information. Look for those places as you get more experienced!
I really been thinking about getting a hawk recently and your videos definitely made me come to an agreement that I do want one. Its been 10 months since you uploaded, hope you doing alright man
thats awesome man! have fun with it, and I'm still doing good I only stopped making videos when the winter happened last year, they I got into mountain biking and cycling so I've been focusing on my health. I was getting terribly unhealthy eating fast food everyday but now doing cardio all the time ive dropped my resting heart rate from 85 to 58 and lost 30lbs. I'll be back to motovlogs eventually!
Hi, great video series! I got my RPS Hawk July 4th - truly Independence Day 😁- and I love this thing. It's my first ever bike and it's just enough for me. Do you have a recommendation for a new shifter lever? Mine keeps bending in just enough to block 2nd gear.
I have a hawk 250 to i love it its goten me up some really steep hill climbs . I also have a yamha fz1 motorcycle you should try the yamha fz6 as a beginnr bike its very comfortable upright like a dirtbike very fast with 100 horsepower and there only like 3000 dollars
yes! you just have to buy a new rear shock and then you can even lower the front forks a bit. Highly recommend bringing it to a shop to do this as suspension is pretty important in terms of safety!
You couldn't be more right about testing the limits of the bike and going WOT. I pretty much have no fear on my TBR7 (which might be a bad thing) whereas with my Yamaha 750cc it's a whole different animal. I have no idea what the limit is on that bike and I don't believe that I have gone anywhere close to it. Just recently I went on the highway gunned it and for the first time I felt like if I didn't hug the tank with my legs tightly I was going to fly off the bike. It made me want to just grip the handlebars for dear life but I have watched enough videos to know not to do that. I see now why they stress hugging the tank during the MSF course, there is a point where you feel like the wind combined with the speed of the bike is going throw you off and my TBR7 comes nowhere near that point. That is one thing that the Hawk 250/TBR7 doesn't prepare you for and squeezing the tank with your legs is crucial at high speeds. More so for your own piece of mind to quell the fear that comes with the feeling of being tossed off the bike.
quick question, i’d have a hawk for commuting to work, it’s a straight ride, 55mph+ road would it be stupid to buy a buy that tops out at high 60s? (trying to save money on gas) thank you
if you're going to be spending alot like 15 or more minutes at 55+ its going to be rough. The bike is revved up really high at those speeds, you would need to switch to street tires and mod it up to make it work for you. Even then honestly you will be better off with something with more power and bigger windshield to protect from the wind. This bike can cruise at 60mph but I wouldn't want to do it everyday, I'd get something a little more highway friendly
I wish I was in an area where I could actually enjoy one of these joints. People out here can’t drive for shit and I’m not riding this out here lol Keep up the vids my dawg!! 💯💯
Hello Im here looking for help. I have a used 2020 Hawk Dlx 250. Just got a new battery for it. When i turn on the ignition nothing turns on. I have been able to jump start it a few times but then it turns off. Any help will be appreciated
as an owner of a tbr7 (borderline same bike), its manageable. my girlfriend is 5'6 and she can do it, your only issue will be planting your feet flat on the ground at stoplights
I like your casual and honest bike reviews. They answered all my questions and taught me things i didnt know as a beginner. Thanks!

@@BodieMoto Glad to hear you doing good💯
NIce Video. Been thinking about getting the DLX EFI.
I'm still loving my hawk. But this cold weather had my front tire keep getting low so its time to get a new one
this cold weather has been keeping me off the bike entirely... I need to get back out there!
Have fun out there. Fall tree colors are very aesthetic.

Between $4300 for a CT125 and $1700 for a Hawk, I'd take the Hawk for street use.
Good Content bro! I’m in the JBTV community and I do similar content.
My neutral light stays on on my bike. Ever happened to yours

Hey do the parts you use for your hawk 250 work the same for my hawk dlx 250?
Is it possible to lower the bike/seat? I’m 5’10 with shorter legs longer torso as well and don’t want to look stupid. 😅

yeah thats part of the reason why I really want to save up to get a track toy to really work on my skills
Hey i bought the rear tire that you have in your link but i didnt know it was a 18 inch tire but will it on the 17 inch rim?

Hey thank you for answering, so when you say “mod it up” can i make it work? or am i better off not doing it?

brooo you have no many good tracks around you that you don't even need to ride on the street, if I was you I would look into track riding for sure

i keep seeing your white gloves in your videos and each time i keep searching for them online, What kind are they?
these bad boys right hurrr amzn.to/3cHsQoi
Hey can you plz send me the link to the new battery you got for your hawk mine cuts off on me
I went to a local battery store, just bring in the stock battery and tell them you need something similar size. The one I got is too small
I went to AutoZone got an AMG
What kind of gas cap you have and where can I get one
stock gas cap that comes on the new hawks
@@BodieMoto you took that tube off? I hate it
@@poeenglish5958 it fell off by it's haha I replaced it with an inch of spare carb tube
am I able to ride this bike? I'm 5'4" 🥹 fuckn short bruh!🤦🏻♂️
