No you don't want that, this is better, etc, etc. Who is a reasonable dealer that knows what they are selling and doesn't assume I know nothing and they have to steer me to what they are selling. I had a price from an SSR dealer on a 250 for $4980! Yamaha shop 60 miles from my place is selling 2018 XT250's for $3999. I just want a decent little putt put to play with, geez The Hawk and Bashan bikes are more what I am looking for, they seem to know nothing except what the paper says, and they seem to be all about selling but really don't know their product.

couldn't help myself and contacted txps where i got my 2017 hawk from. i think they are the main seller of the rps brand. anyways....i inquired about the 2018 hawk details. he said they wont have any 'major' differences compared to the 2017. he also mentioned the hawk dlx will come out in about 6 months. i have been confused all along here and must have missed some context.....i was under the impression that the 2018 model will be the dlx, but txps just told me 2018 250 hawk wont have any major differences and just learned that the hawk dlx will be significant changes but will be in 6 months....no comment on the dlx specs. maybe i will get it out of them.....
edit: their final reply word for word about the dlx;(i wont bother them anymore hee hee) "Hi we are not sure yet only thing we know that it will be a DOT bike and EFI..." Last edited by imapdog; 05-03-2018 at 09:18 AM. Reason: efi confirmed |

If they would upgrade to the digital speedometer and put at least a 45 tooth sprocket on the rear would be a big improvement. Stock speedo is not even close to correct and the 50 tooth on the rear is just way to low geared.

I purchased through Killermotorsports. Nothing but good things to say from my experience.

So I finally got an email back from them. They didn't answer a single question. Just Thanks and a picture of a stock Hawk on the left side. No picture of the Hi-flow exhaust. lol I replied back asking about pictures of all the upgrades that you are advertising on your web site. Waiting on that reply now.

I doubt you will get a reply back. From what I can tell though, the DLX looks to have a massive 15cc larger engine, stiffer fork springs, and a bunch of parts you can add to a normal Hawk. Until more official info is released we will be guessing. Stock photos of the normal Hawk and even the RPS Viper (???) seems to be all we will get.
As of right now I have seen nothing that will make me give up my normal Hawk. Especially not for double the price.

I saw that. Hate deceptive dealers. And they wonder why they get bad reviews.

I agree, Jerry, that they should at least try to improve the areas that many people have complained about. Change the rear hub to a bolt on sprocket like the TT250, and either a smaller rear sprocket, or even a 17 tooth front sprocket.
