The best Chinese dirt bike?
I see the Hawk everywhere on Youtube but there are so many more motorcycles now X-Pro models the Brozz etc. What is the best for the money in your opinion?

DIRT??? Apollo
Street??? KPX250 if you're looking for cheaper, at least go with a true 250cc with a 6-speed.

If more for off-road I would go with the Templar X 250. The Templar is Technically an off-road only bike but some have been able to get them Registered and Tagged. https://amzn.to/3uflDEL
For street and off-road I would go with the KPX 250. The KPX is a street legal bike, so no issues getting it registered and tagged. https://www.venommotorsportsusa.com/...d-street-legal Both these bike have similar engines and power. Both being 6 speed. Templar X is carbureted and the KPX is fuel injected.

I'll give a 3rd vote for the kpx250.. but I'm biased as our group has 5 and we run kpx250.com where we document the bike. I find it 'good enough' for even our crazy trail riding, and 'good enough' for the street and our stupid long highway trips. There's better bikes for both of those things, but if you truly are in the middle like us then you can't beat the quality for the price. I went the TBR7 route before the kpx, and JerryHawk went the Hawk route and I think we both appreciate the improvements made on this bike versus those:
