I have been reading this forum for awhile now. ....just had to join. Great info. I am about ready to purchase a CB....trying to decide between a Hawk or CSC TT250. I would probably buy the Hawk if I could find a reliable dealer. If anyone has a recommendation, would love to have some advice.

Do you want it assembled or unassembled?

Unassembled works fine for me. Would rather inspect it as I assemble. I am concerned about the timely receipt of the paperwork (MCO, invoice,....). But I'm sure a good dealer will get that done.

Welcome! Thanks for signing up.

you may find cheaper but apscusa is very highly rated around here.

BlackHawk · 08-31-2016, 05:09 PM

I second at. Give APSCUSA a try. I wore them out with questions before I bought and they never lost their patience with me and were great to deal with.

Thanks for the input.

I have heard that the current Hawks being shipped have black rims. Does anyone know if that is true?

BlackHawk · 08-31-2016, 05:16 PM

Yes, mine came in Friday and had black rims. Also MSO'd as a 2016

lprewitt · 08-31-2016, 05:28 PM

Thanks for the confirmation on the black rims. Would rather have the silver rims but getting a 2016 model is good as well.

After some additional research and reading on this great forum, I am seriously considering ordering a 250 Storm. I like the idea of a balanced engine and the inverted forks. The bike looks great, as well. I know they are hard to get. Hopefully, i can find a dealer that can confirm that the warehouse has them in stock. Would love to get the version that has the 21/18 tire setup. Anyone have an input on a Storm versus a Hawk? .....such as ride quality, vibration, reliability, parts availability, power, speed.

I recommend that you ask that question in the Dual Sport forum, where it will have a larger audience.
