just ordered a magician 250
after much research a second thoughts I finally pulled the trigger on ordering a magician 250. I know the hawk is probably a better off road bike but I am a short legged dude. I ordered it from txpowersports and I hope this goes smoothly. thanks to all of you guys on this forum, reading your posts have helped me to get a Chinese bike.

Did you make sure the bike can be registered? It, like the Hawk, is certified as an 'off-road motorcycle' according to the EPA, although it seems that well over half the states will plate the Hawk (which would include the Magician, by default, since both are on the same certificate). If you are good to go, congrats!!

@shortlegrider, Good luck man! I got it from there fully assembled, had to out front tire on, mirrors, handle bars, muffler, as well as pull out the battery to place the acid in there, fender had to be out on as well. For some reason, the bike will not start for several attempts. When it finally starts, it makes an odd sound on the back tire. I can't seem to even move the bike without the engine on. I put it in nutral and the back tire seems like it is locked up. Also, the seat wont open up the storage area. If you have these problems solved, PLEASE let me know the solutions.

Also, if you got the bike as you describe, it wasnt fully assembled. Fully assemled means all of those parts would have been installed already.

Hey shortlegrider. Congrats on you purchase. I think nh is fine with hawk or magician. Where about in NH? I bought a place in Dalton in February. Hopefully I will start to build next year.

Congrats shortleg! Pics as soon as you get it then pics during un-crating and after final assembly, that's the only way to properly thank everyone for helping you to decide on a China bike! Good luck and have fun with it. Make sure EVERY moving part is properly greased before you ride.
