Even if you call to confirm, I guarantee, you won't get a straight answer out of them, and/or they will try to send you something else.
As far as registration goes, I am fairly certain the Hawks have been successfully registered in New York, if you were thinking of one for their very low cost (there are a few compromises, but MANY happy owners who have fiddled with the compromises--i.e. replacing the stock carb), so don't rule them out.
The Enforcer that nickdowny mentioned is near-identical to the Hawk, but is EPA/DOT certified for 49 states, but the Hawk should be good to go in NY in spite of its EPA off-road designation--check the registration thread.

Thanks I ended up ordering a CSC TT250 I talked to a sales rep and liked what I heard so I placed the order. I'll keep everyone updated on the progress.
I didn't order the Bashan because I was having a hard time finding what I thought would be a reliable dealer. Every time I did a review search I found horror story after horror story on dealers sending the wrong bike, damaged products, and horrible customer service. I found mostly positive info on CSC so that was the other reason I went them.
