successful ohio registration

had no trouble at all in ohio. Bring mco and bos to title department, needed no inspection. typically with an out of state vehicle, you must have a vin inspection. took my mco and bos to title department, paid taxes, and title fee. then straight to dmv. no issues with registration there. added the hawk to my current policy with progressive, no trouble there. had title and tags in hand within an hour. I purchased my hawk from txpowersports.com, and actually had a great experience. had the bike within 7 days of purchase, paper work within 14 days of purchase. registered and riding the road the next day. I bought the hawk and a tao db10 for my son in the same order, had an issue with the tao. leaking oil from left side engine cover. obvious factory defect in the cover. contacted "Manny". he asked a couple simple questions about the bike. he agreed to ship the parts at no cost under warrenty. received my tracking number the next day. parts should be here Saturday. sorry for the long post. first time posting.

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

If at first you don't succeed, try doing it the way I told you to...

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!

I would look around for a better company to order your new HAWK from jerryjoe... "360PowerSports" is also owned by "TXPowerSports"... always hit and miss customer service from "Manny"... most days it's the customers fault for ordering a China Bike... you will most likely never get replacement parts or anything under the "warranty policy"...

Can find them for less $$ with slightly better service from other companies from I hear

Best of luck whatever you do

pa registration.

i have just recently come across the Hawk 250. I am looking for a good starter bike and I have some basic mechanic skills. so the hawk 250 looks like the right choice. its not old, beat up and questionable. or too expensive to dump (since it is possibly my first bike.) but when I just searched now to see if it can be registered in PA. 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 just got my Hawk tagged in Kentucky

You can add Kentucky to the list. I had no problem getting my bike tagged in Ky.

They had to do a sheriff inspection of the VIN because it came from out of state.

Now for some warm weather so I can actually ride it lol.

Im hoping you can add illinois to your list soon from what the local DMV says im good to go once my paperwork arrives. MCO and Bill Of Sale and the new hawk will be titled and plated. The DMV even priced it for me 95 title 41 plate and 6% tax on purchase price. But the financial state of my state could have alot to do with the ease of it here. No notary no inspection just papers and cash. Ill update once i get my papers.
