I recieved my BSR Raven yesterday and set it up last night. Agreed, the battery needs to be upgraded. I have purchased several mods but wanted to get the feel of the original of the bike to see what I am gaining(first timer). I originally ordered a Hawk so all my mod parts were ordered ahead of time. I found out that there was a back order so I switched to the Raven. I was told that all the parts that I had ordered would cross over, carb, sprockets, jets and LED headlight. I am actually pretty impressed with it. I have no idea how they can manufacture, ship and sell these things for 1500 and make anything but I won't complain.

If you're new to dirt bike riding, or motorcycle riding in general, these bikes are good to learn on, and since upgrades are cheap you can upgrade your power as you upgrade your skills.

$1500 shipped?

Yes, free shipping from Txpower sports. I didn’t have such a good experience with service and shipping but it did finally show up. It all depends on what frustration is worth.

JerryHawk250 just messaged me that the Hawk exhaust mods are the same also.
