Plus it will make your speedo needle smooth as silk.

Great tip!

Holy Crap, these guys are just across town from me. I had no idea. I may have to go take a look at a new Hawk 250.

I've had my hawk for about 3 months now and except for the speedometer cable that was damaged in the crate I have had no issues. RPS replaced the cable under warranty and all is good. The Hawk is a fun little bike, I would not want ride it on a long trip but then again I wouldn't want to zip around on dirt roads and across cow pastures on my cruiser either. The Hawk is a fun little bike that does what I wanted it for and at a very reasonable price.

Glad to hear the good report! They aren't available here but without a doubt, the Hawk is probably the best 2 wheel bang-for-the-buck on the planet....if you can get it registered in your state.
