I recall two of my friends at GM complaining about the stylists wanting to add two more tail lights, and engineering wanting indium-bronze lined con-rod bearings. The stylists won.

According to the owners manual on page 41 it tells you how to maintain your O-ring chain. Maybe I should request an O-ring chain since I didn't get one. Sorry Adam didn't mean to get off topic.

Not that I find them horribly offensive. I just think that they should look what the Japanese folks are doing with graphics and do that. Nothing worse than wearing a mullet when a flat top is in style.

Far as I know, Hawks never came with o-ring chain. This kind of information often gets into owners manuals and catalogs by mistake, as the catalog and owners manual are printed quite often before all the spec. decisions have been made.

This is what I would do.

But then they will be forced to increase the price of the bike and it will no longer look attractive.The stickers only cost a dollar to make.

I would rather pay more and have a better product

I know. The manual is actually half way decent compared to one that came with my daughters ATV. I needed a translator to translate the English. Assembly instructions would of been nice. There were a couple of pieces I was like . Thanks for YouTube. Now lets get back on Topic. Solid color graphic. Maybe an actual Hawk on the Tank.

I guess my feedback would be while not horrible as far as graphics go they do cheapen the look of the bike. For some reason looks like something I'd buy at Toys R Us as opposed to a serious motorcycle.

I agree with the other comments that money would be better spent on upgrades to the hard parts.

I must be more conservative. I was thinking of a letter "H", about 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 with short wings, either going up at about 22 degrees, or down, and longer, at about 15 degrees, done in gold.

Gold would look good on the red. Silver on Black, Green And Blue. Maybe just the Hawk Head with short wings going down.

Those graphics on the Hawk are horrendous. The body lines of the Hawk are what make it look the way it does. Send them a few pictures of higher end bikes like the new Zero Motorcycles or motard bikes. They are clean and nice. They would be better to save the money on the stickers, yes it is only a few cents on the dollar per bike for them maybe, but if they invested in a single go to buyer site for all of their parts for the bikes so any motorcycle shop in the world could order parts for them, those shops would service the bikes and help make their business successful all the way around.

YES--the more subtle, the more 'serious' a bike looks. Chinese bikes, as GeneralTso mentioned, look like 'toys' with all the graphics they throw on! The Bros 150 graphics are what Haosen should be aiming towards, not the kid-stuff that many bikes come with (I am guessing the higher ups at Haosen are fearful that other companies putting gaudy graphics on their bikes to make them look like toys are stealing sales from them!).

If you have to have graphics, the TMEC Denali 200 graphics are more 'mature' IMO

I bought both the red and the black ones but I can't decide which to use.

[JerryHawk250]

Maybe something like this.
