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.

Thanks for the welcome.
I was thinking these guys:

But open to suggestions.

They were good to me, Got the hellcat from them. No problem.
But you never know, I think it all depends with Internet purchases. And Who processes the order .

I never heard of them but that could be a good thing. You usually don't heard about a company until they have bad service. Should be a good company to deal with. All the reviews look good. Q9motorsports is another one that would be good to deal with. I've bought an ATV from Killermotorsports, was good company until recently. Was taken over by new owner and now service sucks. I had great service from APSUSA when I bought my Hawk and UTV but others not so great when buying Bashan bikes.

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.

Sweet deal

Talk about being in the right place at the right time.

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!
