No, its a motorcycle i bought with a weird brand for my country, i think this brand is destined to Bolivia or Argentina, its a Motoline Thor 250 a copy of the Honda Tornado, so far im with it like 6months or a lil bit more and im happy with it, i use to have another model of the same brand and i think in Argentina ks know as the Motomel S4, a good motorcycle, over 18.000 miles on that lil bastard with no problems at all

Great looking bike , is that a "storage spot" or some kind of "dual exhaust muffler" on the other side of the bike?

I see some black hose or piping that leads to another bright silver thing that looks like a muffler on the 'left side' of the bike

Welcome to the forum! Wow! That’s a good looking bike! I like the brake rotors, the front forks and the bodywork! Keep us posted! Pictures are always appreciated!

Have a great day!

Thanks, right now im trying to test new gear ratios, getting a more balanced performance, stock this bike came with 16 and 50 teeth sprokets, planning on testing with 17 and 15 teeth frontal sprokets and a 43 teeth rear one and see how it goes in fuel consumption, top speed and acceleration

Toss a 43 tooth on the rear with that 16 tooth front and you will have a similar ratio to the 17/45 that many of us Hawk owners use, which is roughly a 2.7:1.

I actually chose to originally run a 43 tooth rear because it gives the ability to run 3 very distinct final drive ratios with a simple front sprocket change.
15/43 - 2.9 ratio, decently road friendly, but more off-road capable.
16/43 - 2.7 ratio. The "All rounder" decent both off and on road.
17/43 - 2.5 ratio. My favorite "road only" ratio. Good for highway riding, but not very low speed friendly. Still decently capable on light trails though.

This would be a good way to figure out what kind of ratio best suits you.
