thanks, will yours maintain 55mph(actual) easily or does it rev high rpm at 55?

It maintains 55 just fine that actualy were its happiest at. when its doing 55 it says about 60 on the speedometer. I've gotten it up to 65-70 mph GPS verified depending on how the road is. I dont remember what rpm its at though at 55 I have not riden it in about 4 months. But it's not crazy high rpms. I want to say its around 5500 to 6k. it will go all the way to 10k before the rev limiter kicks in. I do remember it likes high rpms though it seems happiest above 4k rpm. if you get one don't be afraid to rev it likes it.

This model just arrived in the CA. warehouse 10 days ago. There is none in TN. at this time. There will be a dealership in Nashville setup but the price will not be the same as online sale prices. I am sorry we couldn,t help. Thank You for your interest.

Good news on the warehouse for me!! I wonder if I could convince someone to put it together. I am not sure if the Yuma MVD office still requires to see a bike in person like they did with my TMEC (it was 49 state street certified after all), but Musictrek was able to plate his Brozz in Phoenix before he even had it out of the crate using a private office that contracts with the state's MVD. Years ago, when I went to plate my TMEC, I started off at one of those offices locally, but they said I had to take the bike in for a physical inspection. The reason I would want to get my plate is if Don could send me the paperwork (it would have to be notarized--remember that conversation, Jerry?) but I could pick up the bike with a plate to bolt on and ride it back to Yuma. Yes, taking the side roads of course...

As far as top speeds go, that is great to hear it can hit 65 to 70. Caesar with Small Engine Velocity was hitting 60+ GPS verified with literally dozens of miles on the odometer from new; he said it had more throttle, but it was not broken in yet, so he didn't want to push it. I mean, and not to discredit all the Hawks out there; heck most any other brand including Bashan and CSC, it seems they can't hit 70 very often, and those are 223cc +. Again, not starting anything, but it is nice that the 200cc Lifan is hitting 65 to 70. Then again, when the Lifan GY200-5 was the Hawk of the mid-2000s as far as sales went, it came stock with 17/46 gearing, and people were hitting 65 or more, but I cannot recall if GPS was in vogue, so perhaps were people relying on their stock speedos.

I bought my Hawk and a UTV from Don. I had a great experience with him both before the sale and after. That was over three years ago and he will still will pick up his phone or email me to talk. He had bad dealing a few years ago when the Bashan Enforcer first came available. He was told they were in stock and had made some sales only to find out they were still in customs. Yes it pissed off a bunch of people but was something that was out of his control. That's why he waited to confirm the KPM200 was in and not damaged before updating the website. I would buy from him again.

This is my first experience with Venom and it has been a pleasure dealing with these guys. Believe me I was probably being a PITA with all the questions I had asked. lol But Moose and Vince had answered every question I had asked and kept me up to date on the progress on my bike delivery. Which BTW should be coming today.

I just have to set up an appointment for delivery.
