Never too old.
Hi all, I'm celebrating my 75th birthday this month. I've been riding, off and on, for 60 years. I just sold my Columbia assembled Chinese bike (AKT Sport Classic) with 150cc Honda CG clone engine last month. It served me well (after some teething issues) for 4 years, but I'm leaving Panama, after 41 years, to go home to Texas.
I have my eye on a Hawk 250 Endure, and already this site has provided me with some valuable information.  I will do my own wrenching, and look forward to riding in TexasCrankyHank |

Welcome to here! It seems like you will be in good company with the Hawk as there are many members with Hawks. Have you been watching Motocheez's videos on youtube regarding his Hawk? It should be mandatory viewing to watch his technical videos (he has numerous riding ones, and several critical, mechanical videos) to see the ins and outs of the Hawk.

I wonder what 'brand' name the Hawk is sold under down there? They are made by Hensim/Haosen as far as OEM goes.
