Who Should Purchase Hawk 250 Bikes?

If you want an affordable street-legal dirt bike, you should purchase hawk 250 bikes. After years of using my Hawk250 duel sport motorcycle, I can say with confidence, you will love it. While the bike does have its flaws and you’ll probably need to replace the sprockets, it’s a bike that you can’t get too crazy on. I’ll admit, I was not the safest motorcycle driver when I had my Suzuki GSX. She was a beauty but allowed me to go at speeds I shouldn’t have. The Hawk’s top speeds are 65mph and I’m cool with that. That’s all I need for side road cruising and some fun in the dirt.

Benefits of Owning a Hawk Bike

There are a few different benefits I’d like to focus on today when it comes to purchasing Hawk 250 dirt bikes. They include:

Price – We live in some crazy times where job pay is not growing much but our bills are tripling. Different strains of Covid seem to be coming from all directions and our brains need a rest. One way to relieve some stress and anxiety is to hop on your bike and get some fresh air. Hawk 250 bikes are affordable and you can even select a monthly plan to pay it off. You can even get a Hawk 250 Enduro X-Pro from Amazon and pay with your Amazon Prime Store Card with zero interest.

Assembly – Another great benefit of owning the enduro bike is that it requires minimal assembly. Any Joe-Schmo can read the directions to attach a tire and handles.

Great Starter Bike– If you’re just learning to ride a motorcycle or want to, Hawk250 is a great started bike. Its top speed is around 55mph but once you change the sprockets you can get 65mph or more. I like that I can’t go faster, otherwise I might find the need to be reckless.

Street Legal- The first time I purchased a Hawk I did not do my research. The local DMV did not accept the bike as street legal and it was registered as an ATV. I purchased a second bike and drove 45 minutes away so I can register it as a street legal motorcycle. The drive was worth it but make sure that you do the same before going to any DMV.

The next time you ask yourself should I purchase Hawk250 motorcycle, the answer is yes. The bike is not perfect but it’s budget friendly, easy to ride and adjust to your needs.

Took My Hawk 250 to Gotham Mountain MX Trail

Leave a comment

I found this Gotham Mountain  MX Trails that are about 15 minutes from my house. I have been waiting for one of my buddies to have a free day off work so we can go and check this out. Its open on the weekends and it was $40 to get in for the day. They have a few different trails you can rip around. They also have a MX track which we didn’t go on.

We actually only spent maybe 45 minutes in there and had to leave because the red Hawk 250 dual sport wasn’t feeling the rough terrain  =). I will need to come back by myself or someone else with more balls to hit these trails and see what the hawk 250 dual sports can do.

We did the same lap 2 times because the first time my phone fell off and we had to go back to find it. I was having a good time and the trails were getting easier but my buddy wasn’t feeling it so we just hit the streets for the rest of the day. I will upload a second video of us riding the hawks in the streets and still having a good time.  This is why I love these hawk 250 dual sport bikes, we can easily switch from off-roading and back to the streets.

Checkout the short video below of our 2 laps on the Gotham Mountain MX trails!

Here are some pictures from the start of the day getting the hawk 250 ready for the trails. We had to do a quick carb jet upgraded on the new red hawk 250, it took about 10 minutes and we were ready to go.

Replacing Swing-Arm Bolt on Hawk 250 and Short Ride After

Leave a comment

A week ago I was doing some work on my hawk 250 and I noticed something didn’t look right with bolt holding up the hawk 250 swing-arm. The bolt was missing the bolt head, it looks like it just snapped off while I was riding. See image blow. That is the swing arm bolt for the hawk 250.

Hawk 250 Swing Arm BoltI have no idea how this happened but I might have I tightened the bolt too much and from all the vibrations the hawk 250 makes, it caused the head of the bolt to break off.  I was able to purchase a new bolt with the washers and nut from Ricky Sports RPS website, it was $20 with shipping.

Replacing the swing arm bolt was fairly quick. As I pulled out the old bolt, I pushed the new one in. Took about 3 minutes to swap out.

It was time to take the hawk 250 dual sport out for a cruise with the old lady to get some food. It was a beautiful sunny day in the Catskills for a ride on a motorcycle. Rock Hill Pizza is good spot for some fresh pizza or sandwiches.

We both had the spicy chicken cutlet sandwich and then hit the road again on the hawk 250 for a nice ride thru the Catskills.

Some random images of the hawk 250 from today’s ride with the girlfriend.

I think the girlfriend needs some better gear than wearing my large hoodie and a new helmet would be nice

We did spot a owl while riding, the girlfriend noticed it and started screaming and I had no idea what was going on, gave me a scare lol.

We just took random roads to get lost on the hawk 250 and had to make stops for some more photos 🙂 to show off the hawk 250 dual sport bike.

I always make sure to fill up some gas at the end of every ride so she is ready for the next ride.

I think it’s time for some new tires for my hawk 250. These tires have mostly been riding on the street and they lasted about 2600 miles. I can’t decide on what new tires to get so I might just get the stock hawk 250 tires again. I saw they are $50 each on TheRPS website. I mostly ride street and I think it would be smarter to get a different set of tires but I don’t want to lose the option of hitting up the trails.

Total miles for this ride was almost 50 miles. It was nice to get back on the road, it took about a week and half for me to get the part ordered and delivered to my house.

Hawk 250 Cluster

Total miles on the hawk 250 aftermarket cluster. I had around 1200 miles on the stock hawk 250 cluster. I’m loving the new cluster, it looks so good!

End of the ride picture, it was a short but relaxing ride. I’m loving the Hawk 250 so far, no major issues, just some bolts and nuts which are easy to replace. Make sure to always go over your bike and do routine maintenance to make sure nothing is missing or broken off. That is how I found the cracked bolt head on my swing arm.
