Hawk model/year differences help

o2jmpr · 05-26-2017, 03:27 PM

What are all the different flavors of the Hawk 250?

I just received one today and it has black rims, oil sight glass, helmet lock, burrito tube (maybe more) things I wasn't expecting to get. I'm really confused as to all the different options from different retailers!

There's only one Hawk 250 distributed by RPS and manufactured by Haosen. Post pictures of what you got. Some dealers are selling what they call a Hawk 2 (AKA Enforcer) but that is manufactured by Bashan.

o2jmpr · 05-26-2017, 05:12 PM

It's not a Hawk 2/enforcer cause the rear side plastics are colored instead of white and the turn signals are clear instead of amber. I know it's a Hawk 250 and not a Hawk 2/enforcer, Hawk 3/Shark, Hawk 4/what-the hell-ever name their gonna come up with for that one. But this Hawk just seems nicer with add ons. Maybe they changed them for 2017?

Forgive me if I'm overlooking the obvious. I'm a new guy here and haven't had much time to search.

Sounds like they added the burrito tube.

**JerryHawk250** · 05-26-2017, 06:06 PM

Need pictures, lots of pictures.

What are the first three letters on the VIN? L0W?

Miniminimike · 05-27-2017, 01:35 AM

It's first 3 of vin is L0W. It's a great looking bike. Came in black. Decals not installed. They came in a bag. It was built Jan 2017.

My Hawk was a 2015 but I bought it May of 2016.

I thought I messed that up.

hertz9753 · 05-27-2017, 02:17 AM

I messed up my post but is a late model 2015.

Megadan · 05-27-2017, 04:57 AM

I am curious now to see what my Hawk will include since it was part of a pre-order. I would really love to see this factory included burrito tube.

nice looking bikes

i noticed they are missing the one thing.......MUD

o2jmpr · 05-27-2017, 11:39 AM

It looks just like what miniminimike posted. It also came with decals not applied (Awesome!). It's still in the crate though. We just pulled away the cardboard and plastic so far.
The bike is actually not mine, I bought it for my father-in-law so it's not available for me to take pics and I don't have the MCO or VIN available yet.

Thanks for the info everyone.

It was L0W on the VIN. It's a really nice looking bike. I am quite impressed and would like to order another one before they run out or go and change things again.

You have the same bike I have except they added the burrito tube.

The Hawks are good solid bikes. Just need to tune the carburetor and either remove the cat or put a good free flowing exhaust. The rest of the mods you can do later on.

I just took delivery of 4 hawks (manufacturing date 1/2017) and 1 magician (we got the bulk discount). Here are a few of the pics, will post more here when I get home:
