Hawk licensing in Michigan
I received my Hawk in June but was waylaid by back surgery in getting it assembled and licensed. Thankfully, surgery went well and I am up and mobile....Been working on the bike off and on and finally have it assembled and test rode. All is well. Last week I went to Sec of State office and had no problems getting it plated. The MCO arrived a week after the bike and it had it listed as "Enduro" in the type. SoS plated it as "motorcycle" and after paying a late fee of $30 (because I didn't register it within 10 days of purchase) plus plating costs, I was on my way. No issues here.....
My initial impressions of the bike is it is exactly what I needed. Rides super smooth, shifts well, etc...Granted I only put 10 miles on it as I still have another month of healing before I can get back to a normal life but I am well pleased. |

Welcome aboard
These China Enduro bikes are perfect for what they are, inexpensive transportation that will get you darn near anywhere you point your front tire ![]() I'm still trying to talk the Mrs. into getting a 2 pack of HAWKs, great bikes for the price

Welcome! Terribly sorry to hear about your back troubles; I hope you heal quickly.
When convenient, pics of your new Hawk would be great.

I'm glad the registration went well for you. I'm looking at ordering one myself and hadn't seen that anyone had registered in MI.
Ride safe, Dan |

For any one with back problems a hawk or for that matter just about any dirt bike is the answer. I have my shocks set as soft as possible with out bottoming. Street machines for the most part don't have a cushy enough ride until you get into the big heavy weights and then its the cost and weight that kills them for me. I seldom go off road but do ride a dirt road for a couple miles to get to pavement and my back can tell the difference.

Pic of my Hawk
Just a pic of my Hawk. Test ride went well. No problems. Super smooth ride with the road tires I installed. Well pleased with my purchase. I sold my Rowdy scooter because it aggravated my back/neck issue. This was sorta my last hope before giving up riding. I have my fingers crossed but so far so good....
