Well I found that 6th gear I was looking for......

[closedquestion]

So I was in Portland today running some errands. One took me near the huge powersports super store. Well, they had a brand spanking new 2016 CRF250L sitting outside. I sat on it, sold! I've been rebuilding my credit, and thought I would give it a shot and was approved. I'm not much of a mechanic, and while the Hawk is an awesome bike for what it is, at the end of the day I want to ride, not turn wrenches. Fuel injection! Turned the key, fired up and settled into a beautiful idle. Sold! Six gears, sold! 5 year all included warranty, sold! So, I'll sadly be selling the Hawk. I will make sure and point it's new owner here. You all have been so helpful in getting my Hawk up and running. Many thanks!!!
