Cougar 250cc Hawk

The Cougar 250cc Hawk looks identical to the original Hawk.

Oftentimes, retailers will tack on their 'own' brand name onto the 'official' bike, which in this case is the Haosen Hawk, and imported by Ricky Power Sports, who dub it simply 'the Hawk'

http://www.rickypowersports.com/#!hawk-250cc/z4ztr

An example is this retailer who has 'two' different Hawks; Vento is an out of business Chinese brand, by the way, but this retailer evidently resurrected it

http://www.motobuys.com/vento-hen-enduro-250cc.html

They also have a 'Lancer' branded Hawk; Lancer is also an out-of-business brand of Chinese bikes:

http://www.motobuys.com/lancer-enduro-250.html

If you look back at the Ricky page, they show some photos of the Hawk with stickers (Lancer), and some without (Vento)

on their site, they show the bikes side by side, funny enough, and a price difference, too!?

http://www.motobuys.com/sportbikes.html

One retailer actually calls their a 'Taotao' branded bike.

The bottom line is to go with Ricky Power Sports, and in fact, one of their managers, Adam Rinkleff, here in the US posts on this site, and is the one who started this thread:

Do you have a link? The site I found, their distributor site, only has their bike lineup, but no prices.

I bought mine knowing I never wanted to get on the freeway and that I'm fat and the the bike would be slower so I'm ok with it.

I'm considering buying a Hawk. I emailed killermotorsports asking if the Cougar and the RPS Hawk 250 were the same bike.

I got a fast answer from Jimmy that they are the same, but geared differently. He said the Cougar is geared for top speed of 70, but the RPS only about 55.

$25 worth of sprockets does not explain the price they are asking for it.

The only cougar hawk I've seen here in the Ozarks, was a Republican ad-agency corporate vp in a stunning black cocktail dress at a party up in Branson, MO. ;0
