TX Powersports
I bought my Hawk 250 through TX Powersports. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, is a Manny dealership. When I first got my Hawk, right out of the box, it had a few, little problems. They fixed two of the four problems. Ok, I'll fix the other two problems. With only 31 miles on the odometer, and under the 90 day warranty, the rear hub failed and destroyed the rear wheel and swing arm! TX Powersports said they will not cover it! If you watch MotoCheez on YouTube, he talks about the same problem and how Q9 Powersports took care of their customer!
When I buy my next bike, it will be through Q9 Power-sports! ![]() Be safe out there!

Sounds like they don't know what they sold you. The Hawk is a 5 speed. Your top speed is about right for a new bike. Once broke in and tuned it will run much better.

Yes that's definitely posted in the wrong thread. Lol Venom is one of the best dealers to deal with.

Ok, as someone that actually picked up my bike from Txpowersports, I can say that the crates (boxes) aren't in very good shape when they load them on your trailer. My box was in pretty bad shape when they loaded on my trailer with a forklift. I can only imagine what contrition they arrive in after riding across the country on a freight truck.
I will say that in person, Manny seems ok and they took care of me very well. He provided all the paperwork, gave me a temporary plate, and filed all my paperwork with the state in the 20 minutes or so that I was there. Now I've ordered some misc parts from them and the parts take awhile to arrive as they drop ship them and it can be hard to get fast accurate shipping information. Csc and Peace are awesome in this regard, but they dont carry some tao specific parts (like my headlight assembly). Ok just my view on how at least one of these places works. Not bad, not great, just what I expected for a 1400.00 bike. I'd buy from him again, but then again, I'd pick it up myself.

I hope you paid with a card, so you can dispute the charges.

I think if you sell these bikes you should have parts to go with these bike. Was told on back order ,and dont know when they are avalible. Not the dealership i was hoping for,have to order parts from difference dealer. Sad come on Manny get your ---- together or get out, hopefully out. Keep this great site going ,and thanks for all your help and support. Many Thanks to all on this site,and enjoy your china bike. Safe riding to all!
