Are they junk, Yes! but by what standard?
My opinion is they are not well engineered, and have many shortcuts, compromises in the design. My buddy bought a Magician for his girl to cruise around on. Its fine for that. I was surprised to see the lower cradle unbolts from the frame. Again its fine for. beginner to cruise the trails on. Better than a grown up learning on a pitbike in my opinion as it fits her frame.
If you follow my posts you will see what has to be done to make a hawk into a bike that can take whatever abuse I dish out.
I a nutshell.. The frame isnt bad, infact surprisingly strong.
No excuses for the bike. except for well it was cheap after all.
