New ChinaRider from Albuquerque
Hello everybody. I am a new rider with 1000km(I think?km?) under my belt, and on my new Magician 250. After breaking in the magician, I am super impressed. This thing is amazing on the street, and on the few "easier" trails I've taking it on. I upgraded the front sprocket to a 17T, have a fake mikuni carb ordered and on the way(although the stock carb runs pretty good at my altitude, roughly 6000'), and I am seriously pondering the exhaust/intake upgrades. Anyways, thanks to everyone who has contributed to this website(it has been a wealth of information), especially the magician/hawk guys!

Thanks everybody!.. This is my first ever bike, and have only ever ridden one other bike during my MSF Course (so maybe I don't know any better), but this Chinese motorcycle is incredible. I am a huge fan and advocate of these bikes. I took it up in the mountains today above 10,000' and she did not miss a beat! For the price, they cannot be beat!

Hey UV,
I'm also from Albuquerque and am new to the forum. I ride a Hawk 250 and while this isn't my first bike, I am new to off-road riding. If you are ever interested, it would be cool to pair up with someone for some rides so we're not out there alone and it's always more fun that way too. Anyway, enjoy your bike and maybe i'll catch ya later. Kevin |
