New in Oklahoma.

Hi everybody,

I just picked up a 2015 Hawk 250, and I'm turning it into a "Sudo Mini-Adventure bike."

Already Replaced:
Sprockets 17 Front/ 45 Rear.
New Full Bore M-41 Front/Rear
Windshield "Universal Type"
Hard Tail Trunk
Repainted the Plastic to match Trunk

Welcome aboard, and I can agree with "how good they can be" leaving you smile ear to ear

So far with the ~70km I have put on the Mrs. China bike I have been grinning ear to ear even with the few *'mishaps'* along the way. I will say... the bike has gone over every path and 'obstacle course' I dared take my heavier KLR 650 on, the little 197cc Chinese Dual Sport passed everything with ease ... although I'm looking for better tires for "Muddy Off Road Riding"

They (Chinese dual sports) seems like every other "Dual Sport" I have ridden, with the proper initial setup/tuning/mods done to the motorcycle and if the rider is motivated enough, you will get to any (within reason) destination you want to go

*The 'mishaps/problems' with the bike was due to the shady seller I bought it from... all of those things seem to be 'fixed' for the moment, as you have read I did put ~70km on the moto after I 'fixed' everything*

Hey BigDog, did you have any issues getting it tagged in OK? I've read other folks say that their states wouldn't tag it, but haven't seen anything about OK.

Hey BigDog I'm hoping to do the same!

Never2Old4Dirt, I went to my local tag agent Monday and they were able to pull the Hawk up and assured me I could get it tagged. Mine should be here Thursday
