The Taotao is 49 state EPA/DOT legal as an 'on-highway motorcycle'..the Hawk is EPA legal as an 'off-road motorcycle.' It has been sucessfully registered in many states, although it appears as though some are changing their mind. I am curious about the Taotao, but the Hawk is a known bike. Not to mention it has rear disc brakes which may or may not be a deciding factor for you. If you are comfortable going the out of state route, it makes it that much more difficult for you.
