Beautiful! Your bike was the one that made me decide that i was going to get a Hawk 250. It just looks so perfect with the Pro circuit T4!

Thanks guys,since I purchased the Hawk and joined this forum it's been an adventure and my main hobby. I have learned a lot so far,from all knowledgeble members here and I hope I can be helpful to others too whenever I can.The Hawk surprised me I did not expected it to be this good, upgrading it is becoming like an addiction.

Nice.

I have installed the 17t-39t sprockets and I think that is the best combination for street use.I was able to hit the 70 mph @7500rpm's.4th gear was 62mph@ 6200rpm.Now i can keep up with traffic without cooking the engine.

Finally another 17t / 39t, 70+ mph Chinese Unicorn on the road!!!

Isn't it an insane amount of fun passing traffic on a sub 250cc motorcycle

Welcome to the 70+ mph on a China Bike Club

Yes indeed,with the other modifications the carb ,K&N filter and full exhaust the engine is alive and capable now, there was some sleeping ponies in there that needed to be awaken.Next time I will find out what the top speed is.

That's less of a challenge when you only weigh one Azhule. Yes, I'm envious.

Nice. Makes me think I got something wrong then. Was running a 17/45 for all street but yesterday actually put on my 39t rear. While it is def much better, I dont think I come close to what your getting. On a quick run, I think I was at only like 53mph in 4th at 6000rpm. Havent had a chance to really run it in 5th. I do know my carb needs additional adjustment and I am fairly light at 160lbs, but this is a big difference. Any ideas what I could tinker with for a lil more closer specs to yours.

I weigh around 165,running shinko's 705 and the carb is jetted 115-30.when I tested it was on a straight not much wind resistance and leaning on the tank.I was about 90% open throttle.Next time I will see what is the mph in each gear with a w.o.t.
