I saw a ton of posts from 2015 saying it can not.. but.. at the top of this forum, it now says PA is SUCCESSFUL STATE NOW AS OF dec. 2016. does that mean Street legal? and if so.. can it be confirmed. could someone email me and let me know if PA is allowing the 2017 Hawk 250 to be a street legal motorcycle before I go buying one only to find out I cant ride it legally to work and back. thanks for your time all. my email is Musikisserenity@gmail.com

Here's a thread from one of members that recently registered his hawk. Contact him to see what he did. http://chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=19231

If I lived in one of those questionable states I would certainly choose one of the dot approved bashan bikes.

I wanted everyone to know here. That Washington State will register the Hawk. No problem at all. Brought my MSO and bill of sale in. You don't need to do a safety inspection or anything. Walked out with my street plate, and ORV stickers.

I recall a few members a while back reported on plating the Hawk in Washington State. It is good to hear from new members periodically 'checking in' with current registrations in random states just so the info is out there that it is still 'safe' to plate them there! Congrats on your new bike, btw!!

I already kind of made my own posts on this, but I may as well add to the collective information here.

Nebraska = successful. 2017 RPS Hawk.

Take your MCO and Bill of Sale to the DMV with proof of insurance. Pay around $120-130 bucks. Done. No inspection needed or any hoops to jump through.

Just finished registering our two Hawks in Indiana and it was pretty smooth sailing. Some notes on how to proceed:

You will need all the documents from your dealer: Odometer Statement, Bill of Sale and Certificate of Origin.

Fill out and bring with Indiana forms 205 (Title App) as completely as you can and 23037 (Owner Affadavit).

If you buy them from a different state than Indiana AND pay taxes, there is another document regarding this you will need. FWIW, APSC did not charge sales tax on our bikes so we just had to pay at the BMV.

The bikes must be inspected. We hauled ours to the BMV and they just checked the VIN; Police can also be scheduled to stop by and inspect them but they might be a bit more thorough.

The BMV agent may not be able to find the bikes at first if they classify them as "Offroad", they should be classified "Motorcycle" and then they will find the Haosen 250 in the list.

DONT BE TEMPTED TO RIDE THE BIKES BEFORE REGISTERING. The Odometer statement should match the bike. If its written for 2 miles and your odometer is different it could cause a bind in the paperwork.

Do your own homework and be prepared. Be relaxed and pleasant! Having all relevant paperwork ready and filled out, the bike available for immediate inspection (or an approved inspection from a law officer) helps the BMV and means you likely won't have to make a repeat visit!

Our BMV agent was relatively new but his colleagues helped him out and they did not seem at all confused or surprised by the process or had cause to question the paperwork. So I would say Indiana was definitely successful!

I know this probably isn't the thread for this, but you didn't happen to see the magician in that list did you?

I'll be working the transfer tag angle this week. I made it to Phoenix with three of the four bikes, the Hawk will be here the week before Thanksgiving. I'm going to be taking all the paperwork for the bikes to a 3rd party tag place in Phoenix. I'll let you guys know how the transfer from Georgia to Arizona tags go. There have been several successful new registrations in Arizona, but I'm not sure anyone has transferred in yet.

Emerikol · 10-31-2017, 08:33 AM

So here's the update so far: I was able to transfer the tag and title on the Hawk yesterday. It was a bit of a climb because the bikes aren't really 'mainstream' and the lady struggled a bit getting everything correctly identified and listed. I now have an Arizona title and a two-year tag for $86. It would have been $25 cheaper to go to the DMV directly, but the 3rd party place I went was tons more convenient, and definitely worth the $25 service fee. So far, the Hawk has been the only bike I've been able to get sorted out, but that's because I didn't have the right paperwork with me for the DR, Ural and Camper. Once I get the paperwork put together, it should be smooth sailing for the rest of the wheels. Have a Happy Halloween, everyone!

3rd party is the way to go. Worth every penny not to have the hassle of the DMV. It's there form of income so they will do what ever it take to get your money.

Emerikol · 10-31-2017, 12:08 PM

I absolutely agree. I'm going to get the Ural registered today, hopefully that will go a little easier than the Hawk. Then it's just the DR and the Camper. The Missus is on the fence about registering her bike. She's considering selling it, and her registration is good until Feb. I don't think she should sell it, but I'm probably a little biased...

No problems whatsoever in Virginia. Walked in VA DMV with MCO and bill of sale, walked out with tags.

Thanks for posting. I added Virginia to the list.

And welcome to the forum. Lots of good info in the dual sport section. Warning this site can be hazardous to your wallet.

I think once it's in their system it makes it easy for future registrations. Good luck with the Hawk. No regrets from my purchase.
