From California
Hi
Just a quick introduction. I plan on purchasing an RPS Hawk 250. It will be registered in OR, as CA is just ridiculous with rules. The intent of my purchase is cheap, economical solution to getting around town (NOT freeways or highways) and do some light trail riding while scouting pre-hunting season. |

Welcome aboard Who are you planning to order the Hawk from? They're a few dealers you want to stay away from.

But you never know, I think it all depends with Internet purchases. And Who processes the order . |

I have a few parts, but waiting on some more to get in.
I've done the K&N filter and box mod. Once my front 17t sprocket and chain get in, I'll install those along with the rear 45t, while I'm at it try and screw that darn chain guide in the right spot. I got a sweet deal, actually from a local CA guy who obviously didn't the know work required to get these bikes "up to snuff". 3.6 miles on it, he was asking 1100 I got it for 800. Looks brand new. Oh, going to harbor freight to get my motorcycle jack, so I can change the oil IMMEDIATELY, and bleed both brake lines of the crap in there. I should be able to ride it in a couple weeks, then take it up north to register it, the bring her back down LOL. |

Welcome SithLord!
Welcome to the forum SithLord! Can we expect a Star Wars theme bike? What color Hawk are you going with? Like there is a choice!?!
Ride Safe!
