I believe Georgia is iffy with the Hawk (county by county). Remember, the Hawk is an off-road bike in the same class of bikes like an MX bike. Just because it has all street equipment, does not make it an on-road bike in the eyes of the law. The only way this happens is if you live in a state or county that will street register and plate bikes that have all street equipment (many states used to do this, and there were many dirt bikes with Baja light kits street plated years ago). The Hawk is in this class of bike if you happen to live in one of many dozens of states that street plate most anything that has a minimum of street equipment--I live in Arizona and would have no problem. Texas is another state. But Georgia has given people problems lately (some were able to plate early in the process, but the state might have caught on, although some from Georgia believe it is a county thing). If you cannot find out for sure--DO NOT ORDER ONE!
On the other hand, Bashan bikes are 49 state certified (Californians need not apply) so you would be good to go if you ordered a Bashan.
