$2200? Hell for that money I would just get a TT250. More or less a Hawk, but with some upgrades. USD front forks, adjustable rear preload, counterbalanced engine so it;'s a bit smoother, CARB legal - which means it's legal to register in every state.

just a heads up, I tried to register my TMEC 200 and they declined my registration saying 2 numbers in the vin didnt decode. whatever that means.

I dont know if thats just a freak thing that happened to me, and i havent contested it yet cause i havent had any time, but it is annoying that I have a bike that works and should be legal, but my local govn is telling me i cant ride it.

Just take my damn money and let me ride.

Who knows what's going on with the computer system or if they even know what they are doing. One other idea to help your cause is to do a pencil etching /photos of the vin number from the neck of the bike just to bolster your argument. J.A.Suggestion

Change of plans. ,,,,,,,maybe. The car lot dealer I had mentioned tgatvwas selling hawks ,,is now selling bashan storm 250 ,,,an said I can get one in the crate for $1600. An they will register an license it right there (for a fee of course) I'm going to pay with a card. So I have some recourse should the registering doesn't go thru,,,,, but they assure me they can do it ,,an they've been in business a very long time ,,,,Please chime in with thoughts on the bashan storm? And the price ,,before I pull the trigger .

From what I understand, the Bashan bikes tend to have less issues with registration than the Hawks do. Either way, good choice and good luck!

Sorry. Have no idea why pics are sideways,,

Megadan · 07-10-2017, 10:24 PM

Congrats, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you on registration. The sideways pics happen sometimes with mobile uploads, not a big deal. Have fun with the assembly. Nice color.
