RPS is showing the Magician

If you go to www.therps.net RPS is showing the 'Magician' there. Member Azhule's favorite retail operation shows them on their site as being available, but they use RPS's stock photos, so not sure if they actually have them in stock, or if they do, have not assembled the one(s) they have. https://www.txpowersports.com/cheap_..._sale_s/28.htm

It's nice that rps is being honest and transparent with the specs.

8.2 hp. (Rps site says 14.1 ?) 1.8 gal tank, 32in seat, 53mph speed.

On second thought who knows?

This page ('Features') is for the Magician http://www.therps.net/Magician.html
However, when you click on 'Specs' it seems to be cut and pasted from the Hawk specs. Going back to the features, it mentions "The Magician is a lightweight version of the popular Hawk 250. This unit may not have the Hawk's aggressive acceleration, but is better suited for casual riders, with superior gas mileage." I wonder if it has a more street oriented sprocket(s) as it appears to in the photo, although the only photos of the bike do not let you zoom in. The Hawk comes stock with very off-road oriented sprockets, hence the "aggressive acceleration"?

On the US EPA off-road certification site, the Hawk and Magician fall under the same certificate, meaning they are closer than they look, at least engine-wise.

As usual with these Chinese motorcycles, clear as mud

They are giving one to MotoCheez to set up and review.

He talks about in the comments section from that video on the tube
