It was a beautiful Sunday day in the Catskills. I decided to check on the hawk 250 to she if she will start up. Last time I turned it on was on Feb but didn’t really ride it, just changed the oil.
The hawk battery was dead but I was able to get it started with the kickstarter in about 2 and half minutes. Check the video on my hawk_250 instagram account.
I had to fill up the air in the tires and do a quick maintenance before the ride.I took a nice 20 mile ride around the Catskills and froze my ass off lol. It was about 40 but with the wind it felt like 20s and I only had a light jacket and jeans. But it was still fun riding the hawk 250 on the open roads.
The roads were full of sand from all the dumping the trucks did during the winter and I could feel the hawk wanting to slip and slide lol
That’s the only update for today. Checkout some pictures from today’s playtime with the hawk 250 dual sport.
Some rice and beans after the ride. Then I gave hawk 250 a quick rinse to get the salt and sand off.
The above image show my JBWeld on the gas tank valve. It started leaking last summer and I didn’t have a welder so this seems to be working. Not a deal breaker for me, I still love my hawk 250.
If you are not on the Hawk 250 Facebook Group, you should come over. There is a bunch of cool active hawk 250 owners and everyone is helpful and super nice. Checkout some hawk 250 rps club pictures below submitted on the hawk 250 facebook page. I also posted their comments under the images to just mentions a few things they upgraded on their hawk 250.
Robbie – “Did mikuni carb, muffler, sprockets, air box, led headlight, and led brake light, luggage box. Heavy duty rear tube”
Ryan B – “Not many mods. Just the Digital Cluster, LED headlight, rear storage tube, trickle charger, USB charger with voltage meter and painted the rear exhaust shield black. She is going to have a Harley friend soon”
Gary S – Very cool looking green mean machine
Brad H – I think has the best color, but I could be biased because both of my hawk 250 dual sports are black =)
Jacob W – Nice looking blue hawk 250 with its black hawk cousin.
Steven B – Very nice looking color on this hawk 250
Nathan M– Now this is one cool setup this guy has, it shows you the hawk 250 can handle anything, take it hunting or just for a cruise in the wild.
Tom M – Another slick looking green hawk 250 dual sport.
Justin C – Nice blue hawk 250 taking off. My next thing to learn, how to wheelie the hawk 250.
Daniel H – Now this is cool, father and son doing some riding. Will the dad get the son a hawk 250 when he gets a bit taller?
Brian L – “2017 Hawk. Air box mod and original carb modded with 110 jet. Have not touched idle mix screw yet. Stock exhaust for now. 16/43 sprockets now installed. Burrito tube added. H4 LED light and a usb charger kit installed. Cycra skid plate installed with home made brackets and longer bolts. A little custom paint work.”
This is a very nice looking hawk, I like the customer changes and the color upgrade makes such a huge difference, great job buddy
Jason A – Nice looking customized red hawk 250 dual sport.
Clay C – Another Red Hawk 250 Rps Bike, must be rough riding in the sand lol
Chris H – Some nice mods on this black hawk 250
Robert C – Sharing his green Enforcer
Andrew M – Seems the blue hawk 250 bikes like to be only on one wheel!
Ronald H – What a beautiful view with the blue hawk 250 and the clear sky. I wish we had trails like this in the Catskills.
TMP Saturday Graphics – “Took the Hawk name off the seat and handlebar pad, didn’t like the font. Plan to make my own tank graphics sometime down the road. Right now it has the Hawk 250 logo stickers from this page’s profile that was on the bike when I got it in Dallas.”
Nicholas C – Seems like the black hawk 250 is the favorite =)
Sam T – “Sealed battery, vm26 mikuni 120 jet, exhaust, 17-50 geaing, digital gauges, rear tail light swaped to smaller one with fender delete, fuel filter installed.cbr500 clutch and brake levers and front spoke covers and soon to have 50cal ammo ca saddle bags and harbor freight box mounted.
Now this guy knows how to have fun with the hawk 250, this should show you it can take abuse. My and my buddy also got our self in a deep muddy situation and the hawk did well and survived.
Octavio M– Stock blue hawk but he loves it!
Derek S – “New carb, New spark plug, New unbreakable levers and new master cylinder, Spoke skins , Air box mod, Enduro guards, Radio, Lithium ion battery, Replaced all bibles with LED including headlight”
This guy also knows how to have fun with the hawk, he is always sending me pictures of the green hawk in the wild and having a fun time.
That’s all folks, I will update this post or maybe do a new one as more members share their pictures with me. If you would like to write up a review of your hawk 250, I can do a seperate post for it. Just email me your review and any pictures you want shared and I will do the rest.
Hey riders, just a small update on the hawk 250 out of stock issues we recently had. I was just emailed by Manny from TX Power Sports and he has let me know that the Hawk 250 dual sport bike is back in stock. Currently I think they only have the black hawk 250 in stock, please email them to confirm before ordering but I think the black one is the best color choice =).

Please also note that I was told by TheRPS.net (Ricky Power Sports) that the Hawk 250 3 and the Hawk 250 2 are not from their company, they are not the company importing and distributing those hawks. It looks like other companies are trying to jump on the hawk 250 fame and make a quick buck.
It looks like the engine is exactly the same but the other parts look different and I don’t know if they are cheaper parts than the current hawk 250 has but I know my hawk 250 has been a great bike and THERPS did a good job with it.
I also heard some people ordered the Hawk 250 2 from Safer Wholesale and they had a lot of issues and delays getting the bike, I haven’t got a update if they even got their purchase yet. So please beware of buying the Hawk 250 2 and the Hawk 250 3 from Safer Wholesale or any other websites selling them.

Whats up fellow hawk 250 owners. Recently I have been seeing new hawk 250 bikes come with a sticker using my Hawk 250 logo that I had created for this website. I didn’t give anyone permission to use my logo for those stickers. I contacted Ricky Power Sports and they said they are not using my logo. I’m wondering if its another dealership. Its not cool that they didn’t even at least contact me to work something out. I have spent a lot of time on the logo design and building this website to spread the word about the hawk 250.
The logo below doesn’t below to Hawk 250 RPS, this is a logo I had my designer build for this website and if anyone wants to use my logo, they should contact me to work something out. Thank you.
Here are some links to the hawk 250 upgrades I did on my bike.
Whats up guys, its not throwback Thursday but I was watching some of my videos and I found this funny video. This was maybe a month in of my having my hawk 250 bike. My blue hawk 250 cousin and I were just messing around, trying to do some burnouts and taking off quick. Well I took off to the sky when the clutch slipped and I panicked lol.
Give me a break, it was only a few weeks in and I was a noob lol. If you can see my cousins face while I’m going down, its priceless.

The Hawk 250 Needed Some Repairs
There wasn’t major damage other then my back taillight breaking off and some scratches. My chain did get locked up in the rear sprocket and I couldn’t get it out and I didn’t have any tools on me ( That was the last time I took the hawk 250 out without my tool bag lol ) So I had to leave my cousin there to watch my hawk while I jumped on this blue hawk 250 to go home and get some wrenches.
At this point the bikes weren’t registered, we had no insurance and he was just sitting on the side of the road. Good thing these back roads were learned how to ride the hawks on has barely any cars driving by
I finally got back to him, got my chain loose and we went home to check the damages. With some power tools and 30 minutes later, the hawk 250 was back on the road looking meaner than she ever did haha
I have some pictures showing the damage somewhere on my computer, when I find it I will update this page.
Thanks for reading and I hope you are having fun with your hawk as much as I am..
Just a quick question to hawk 250 owners, Has Anyone Purchased a Hawk 250 from eBay? I see a lot of them for sale on eBay and the sellers have great reviews. I would like to know if anyone used eBay to purchase a hawk 250 dual sport bike and if they had any issues with getting them? I’m doing a quick review on eBay and buying a hawk 250 on ebay. So please contact me if you have any more information I can add on this page.

Whats ups hawkers, I had a few people email me about the skid plate I have shown in the hawk 250 shop, I haven’t been able to purchase this item for my hawk yet, waiting for the budget to allow it. A very helpful user from our hawk facebook page was nice enough to take his skid plate setup off to show us some pictures of the setup and what you will need to do to make this work, this is a very simple modification.
Its not a direct bolt on, but as you can see its very easy to make it work and I’m sure there is 100 different ways to mount it and make it work, so if you don’t mind tinkering with your hawk then this should be very doable for you.
I will also be doing a video and guide on the hawk 250 skid plate once I order it. Below are all images from o Brian L from our Facebook Group, click here to join.
Specs on what you will need to mount the hawk 250 skid plate
Hardware. Two 1/4 by 2.5″ long bolts. One 1/4 by 1 3/4″ bolt. Some washers, lock washers or just use nyloc nuts on all 3 bolts.
Orange washers in pic come with the skid plate hardware.
Brackets are 1″ aluminum. 1/4″ thick so it wouldn’t bend when tightened down. Front bracket is 6.5″ long. Back is 4.25″ long. Aluminum bar stock should be available at virtually any hardware store as well as all bolts. Mine was scrap I had laying around so Used what I had.
Slightly bigger than 1/4″ holes drilled in front bar. Holes are 2 1/8″ apart from center to center of hole.
Bolts pass through the skid plate and bracket with the frame sandwiched in between.
Back bracket rests in small v section under frame and merely tightened up the bolt until skid plate didn’t move anymore.
Removal was a lot easier than I expected. Merely removed front bolts and bracket and slid plate forward until back bracket slid off the V section under the frame. Took longer to move bike away from my bench and get tools out than removing the plate.
What’s up fellow hawk 250 owners and future hawk 250 owners. I wanted to make some clothing with my hawk 250 logo and possibly using images of the hawk 250 but I don’t have any high quality images of the bikes, my hawks are bit too dirty for using to get high quality pictures. So for now I’m just using the hawk 250 logo from my website.
Currently I’m using Zazzle to create these products, if you know another company that is good but maybe has lower prices, then please let me know. Zazzle is more on the high price but I hear the quality is good. If you purchase any of the items below, contact me when you get them to make sure everything is OK or if I need to go kick some ass at Zazzle lol. Thank you for your support and for visiting my website and I hope you enjoy the content on the hawk 250.
It’s going to be a year in November since I got my hawk 250 and it has been fun building this blog and sharing my friends and I adventures with the hawk 250 dual sport bikes.

Short post, I was busy working on my gazebo project for the last few weeks but I missed the hawk 250 and had to take it out, this is my off road hawk and it needs some work, I didn’t check the chain and it was loose and when I hit the log the chain came off, it was a quick fix and up the hill I went. Once I have time to clean up my yard, I will have some nice trail to ride around my house. Check the short youtube video below of my hawk 250 in action and please like and share the video. I’m trying to hit that 1000 subscribers on YouTube so they start paying me pennies again lol.
was just emailed by Manny from TX Power Sports and he has let me know that the Hawk 250 dual sport bike is back in stock. Currently I think they only have the black hawk 250 in stock, please email them to confirm before ordering but I think the black one is the best color choice =).
