I'm surprised that you can't get that bike street legal there...... I'd take it if you weren't so far away.

I wish you good luck with the sale, Ron. That is a very reasonable price.

Many rural states will skip the federal regulations and issue plates based on a minimum of street-legal equipment--some states will even issue plates to ATVs and UTVs provided they have a minimum of equipment, which usually consist of (and depending on individual states), one mirror, one brake (I am going off of Arizona's list), a headlight, taillight, and that is it (don't quote me as they might have added a couple things the past few years here). The bottom line is that Haosen and/or their importer Ricky Power Sports, at this time, have not gone the extra certification route, and have only obtained the 'off-highway' EPA certificate which essentially means these bikes are federally recognized as dirt bikes. The fact that many states will issue plates is a 'bonus' but while the legality is sorted out, those states that will not issue plates will leave people with a 'dirt-bike' rather than what they were planning to have--a street-registered enduro bike. I am surprised that a state like New York will issue plates for the Hawk seeing at how socialist its government is (vs. most other states), but I guess in this case, the technicalities are overlooked and the rural parts of the state win out here vs. New York City's harsh socialist agenda. And equally surprised that a traditionally rural state like Alabama is giving a hard time and NOT issuing plates, as well as New York's neighboring states like Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Confusing trying to think of the logic...

The ONE upside of this game is that we know in advance what we can and can't purchase that's legal here....but at a higher price than everyone else because of added equipment to the bikes to pass the clean air regs. Fortunately, those are modifyable! ;-)

I would buy it too but see below:
16 h 27 min (1,127 miles) via I-81 S 16 h 2 min without traffic This route has tolls. Middlefield, CT Follow Jackson Hill Rd to CT-66 W 4 min (2.0 mi) Take CT-15 S, I-287 S, I-78 W, I-81 S, ... and I-59 S to 7th St in Tuscaloosa 16 h 33 min (1,125 mi) Take 24th Ave/Greensboro Ave to University Blvd 2 min (0.3 mi) Tuscaloosa, AL Sorry man, 1127 miles and a truck that gets 12 mpg means 200 gallons round trip, $400 in gas $100 in coffee, can you take in apart and ship it in envelopes? |

Here ya go
https://www.greyhound.com/en/ecommerce/schedule 175.00 new Haven CT to Tuscaloosa . Now how much fuel will it take to get back home on a 2016 hawk?. Good thing gas is cheap now. Sleep on the roadside (meet intersting people, on the bus and under bridge campsites). McDonald's value meals, your set Oh and keep that "pistol"near by.
