Hawk 250 Time Lapse Video Feb 18th Ride

June 28, 2023 Hawk 250 Leave a comment

Here is a new video I just uploaded to YouTube. This is a solo ride I took on Feb 18th. I did take my girlfriend for a ride towards the end of the day because I felt bad she was home all day and I was out ripping the hawk. I want her to learn how to ride bikes and join me on my rides but the hawk 250 is a bit too tall for her and she doesn’t have health insurance so she needs something smaller to learn how to ride a motorcycle lol. At the end of the day I did over 100 miles and the hawk ran like a champ =).

Here are some random pictures from Feb 18th, ride with the hawk 250 dirt bike.

It was such a great day for a ride and I can’t wait for spring. I need to get new tires, you can see in the image below these are done. I’m 90% street riding with this dirt bike.

Stopped by a fellow riders house while he was working on his sprockets. If you want one of these Hawk 250 stickers, you can find them on the Zazzle Shop, click here.

The girl looking for Pokémon while I’m trying to get a picture of my hawk 250.

Hitting up some Pokestops to keep the girlfriend happy for being out all day riding alone lol.

The hawk 250 dual sport sure is a beauty. She rides well in any weather.

Hawk 250 Rim Swap and Ride with Girlfriend

January 20, 2023 Hawk 250 Leave a comment

The tires on my main street hawk 250 bike were done and I really wanted to ride but I’m not sure which new tires to go with for my hawk 250 dual sport. I have a second hawk 250 that is mostly for off-roading only and not registered. So I took the rim from my off-road hawk 250 and put it on my street hawk 250. It was a quick swap and then the girlfriend and I went for a short 50 mile ride to test everything out.

First I removed the front hawk 250 rim from my street hawk. This hawk 250 came with black rims which I prefer over the first hawks rims.

This is the color rim that the first set of hawk 250s came out with. Make sure to check those bolts on the front break rotor and add some loctite and make sure that clamps are pushed against the head of the bolt to prevent vibration from loosening them up.

My first hawk 250, mostly for off-roading because its not registered.

Quick rim swap and I’m ready for the road.

If your stock cluster stopped working or isn’t accurate, make sure to check the speedometer speed sensor, mine was pretty much stuck. I took it apart, cleaned it up, greased it and its like brand new. I didn’t get a chance to test it because the hawk 250 off-road edition isn’t ready for the road, it needs some new parts.

That same day my hawk 250 stickers came in and they are pretty cool. The quality from Zazzle is pretty good. You can find these on my hawk 250 fan shop.

Bek stopped by to watch me do some work on the hawk 250 and learn something haha. Then we had a nice BBQ with some cheeseburgers and and spicy chicken wings.

Just messing around with the hawk 250 on my property, I can have a nice trail here once I find the time to clean out this land of mine.

Hawk 250 locked up and can’t get out.

After changing the tire and taking some pictures of the hawk 250 around my house the girl and I jumped on the hawk for a cruise. Our first stop was the Stone Church in Ellenville, NY, but they were having a weeding and the hawk 250 didn’t get a invite.

We then went to a farm we usually drive by to see some horses, camels, donkey’s, you name it, they have it.

Next we ended up by the new Montreign casino being built in the Catskills. Its going up pretty quick and this thing is going to be huge. Can’t wait to come by with the hawk 250 when its open.

This is the old Concord Resort and Golf Course. I would love to rip the hawk 250 thru there but they had workers all over the place. This is where the new Montreign casino is being built.

Next stop was the Kiamesha lake in Monticello NY and a perfect spot to take a picture of my hawk 250 bike. This hawk 250 has taken us all around the Catskills and Hudson Valley. This was one of my best purchases of this year and we got a lot of use out of it. I couldn’t afford a real dual sport bike and this was a perfect fit for my budget, starting at $1399.

Some pictures the girlfriend took while riding on the back of the hawk 250. We enjoy taking out the hawk 250 whenever we can and there is so much scenic riding to be done around us and the great thing is you barely ever see any cars.

Thanks for reading this post and hopefully you enjoyed the pictures of the hawk 250 in the wild. Please share your hawk 250 stories with me and I will share them on this blog for other hawk 250 owners to read or future bike owners.

Hawk 250 – 100 Mile Bike Ride with Girlfriend

January 1, 2023 Hawk 250 6 Comments

It was a beautiful sunny day in the Catskills and the girlfriend and I decided to go on a nice journey and see how far we can get. At the end of the ride we did over 100 miles on the hawk 250 dual sport and it was a great ride, its really conferrable to me and I can ride on the hawk 250 all day long. I did some recording and will be posting some short YouTube clips soon with the hawk 250 in action.

Our first stop was just off route 52 in Ellenville, NY. This is just before the Sam’s Point hiking trails and I would recommend doing the hiking trails in winter for the ice caves.

Such a great view from up here. No matter what time you come, its always amazing. Plus the hawk 250 looks really good in the background =).

I was a bit hungry, so I got myself 2 hotdogs and in about 2 seconds they were gone and we were back on the rode with the hawk 250.

Next stop on the hawk 250 adventures was to the Rondout Reservoir near the southern end of Catskill Park, split between the towns of Wawarsing in Ulster County and Neversink in Sullivan County. We rode thru Ellenville and then jumped on Route 55a and did a lap around the reservoir which was an amazing ride with the hawk 250.

We tried fishing here in the summer but we came when it was so hot and definitely the wrong time for fishing and had no luck catching anything, we went home hungry for some fish.

What a prefect background to the amazing hawk 250 dual sport bike. We are loving this bike and got to see a lot of the Catskills and Hudson Valley and its great on gas and super fun to ride.

Put my new hawk 250 sticker on the front headlight section, its a bit off but I like it.

The girlfriend enjoying the view from the hawk 250. Wearing my baggy hoody and a heavy schoolbag full of tools and nuts/bolts, because you just never know when you will need some tools for the hawk 250.

She looks like a owl with that helmet setup.

Next we ended up by Route 52 in Neversink, NY. The old lady had to let her hair breath a bit and then it was back on the road.

Always time for more hawk 250 pictures.

Some pictures my girlfriend took while we were cruising on the hawk 250 on some beautiful scenic roads. You can see I’m flying at 42MPH =).

Went thru some country counties and plenty of cows and horses and all sorts of other animals around, so beautiful riding in the Catskills. Barely any cars on the road.

Riding in the fall is the the best. No need to deal with that heat and sweat and the hawk 250 likes the clean fresh chilly air.

It was a great day of riding, we did over 100 miles on the hawk and it was pretty much non-stop riding. We had to stop for a few pictures here and there. The hawk 250 did well with 2 people on the bike, going uphills it would do 40-45 and there were some steep hills and the hawk got us right up there. I also had my Go-fro camera recording some of the footage and I will be posting that on YouTube over the next few days.

Thank you for reading this post and please comment below if you are a hawk 250 owner, I love meeting new owners of this Chinese bike and how they are doing with them so far.
