Hawk DLX 250 Unboxing: Here's What You Get When You Spend $2K On a Chinese Dirt Bike on Amazon!

[@TFLbike]

Thanks for watching! Check out the delivery video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaqYqKp5gcqmjsk

[@loganholmberg2295]

Since you don't have a dvd player o to the motocheeze channel on youtube. He does a complete assembly vid and vids on how to fix problems on these bikes. He also has awesome japaneese mini truck content and I think hes based somewhere out of th Eastern US area around Newyork or Connecticut?

[@loganholmberg2295]

Note for his assembly vid he takes it on a test drive for the first 7 min and then he shows you how he put it together. 😅

[@terremoto..6809]

After watching motocheez videos i ordered a 2016 model i did most of his recommendation mods and so far has been reliable and fun for the money... I'd buy another one on a heartbeat but don't see my hawk dying any many many miles soon

[@3wheelmannc860]

Interesting for sure... most "E-bikes" (the pedal assisted kind) are well north of $2k with very limited range and speed. If this thing is reliable...another option opens up. Need a service/maintenance network if there are issues though.

[@billymc2681]

Watching this video reminded me of one of the first jobs I had when I got out of the Army in 1991. Jobs were hard to come by back then but I was able to find part-time work at Carter's Cycle and Marine in Huntsville Texas. They hired me to put together 4-wheelers, dirt bikes, etc... I think I got paid $25 per. And yeah the first Big Bear I put together took like 2 days! I did put together and all new Yamaha TDM 850. It was always sort of my pride and joy. It was the only one that dealership was alloted. And to think that I put it together straight out of the crate. Unfortunately, the TDM was a little ahead of its time it didn't sell well and was cancelled after a year or two. You guys are pretty bright I'm sure he won't have a problem putting the bike together. But if it were me, I would at least search to see if the build instructions have been downloaded somewhere before starting.

[@robertyoung8289]

Have a Coelman BT200 coming this week (in a box). Thanks for the modivation.

[@kasinko]

I absolutely LOVE your project goals with this, and I am subscribed to this channel specifically because of this bike. I love Honda CG clones :P The engine is a 229cc pushrod engine, by the way. Just like everything, rounded up for marketing. Oh, and don't be one of those people that ask "Why doesn't this pushrod engine breathe well at higher RPMs like an overhead cam engine?". This is a weird lazy workhorse engine by design, it is built for daily use in the low and mid range. It doesn't scream like most of the bikes anyone is used to, even for a thumper! Sounds happy putting about, though.

[@loganholmberg2295]

Yeah go to motocheeze channel. He does a complete assembly vid and vids on how to fix problems on these bikes. That should help you with the issues you are going to run into. He also does vids on modying them to go faster and off roading with them in the Eastern NewYork area?

[@edm3184]

They usually have those videos online.. they also have usb dvd drives for like $20 now, too ;)

[@abqcrutch]

I'm pumped for the "build." My son and his friend bought Chinese road bikes w/125cc a few years ago. They loved 'em. Hoping same for "STRONGEST!" Lol

[@AlphaTugboat]

what kind of oil do you guys recommend?

[@TeamNoAffiliation]

Lol. Watching this video after watching the last video... This didn't go nearly as planned.

[@terrymillard9255]

DVD! You got a dvd. I didn't get one with the standard hawk. I did a lot of gessing when I put mine together. The rubber grommets for the head light pens.

[@shawnbraden6689]

I've own a 2016 bsr bashan 250 for a year its so much fun I bought mine with 100 miles on it for 900 can't beat it for the price

[@badgerpa9]

Doesn't the VW or FJ have a dvd player in them?

[@shept.7736]

This is gonna be great, i think the ignition lock is there because key safety isnt very good, like if you stick a paper clip in it then it may start, so thats why it can close and lock

[@aaronfarrin4057]

That's pretty crazy you guys run a KZbin channel and you ain't got any computers with a DVD drive laptop PC anything but love the content keep up the good work and can't wait to see what comes I've been pretty tempted to buy one of those bikes a few times

[@ColJonSquall1]

Here's a thought for a laugh, does the Tough T have a DVD player in it? Maybe borrow it for a hot second to help assemble the bike, lol.

[@HDOutdoors7]

Good luck with the build! Have thought about one of these just for playing around in the woods. SRK Cycles has a pretty fun video ripping on one of these next to an older Honda

[@swetapatel9058]

How long did it take for the Dirtbike to come at your house??

[@jjustj]

dangling handle bars can introduce air into brk lines or hyd clucth You got more tools than iI did with my new 2016 Honda africa twin! lol

[@ojbarberena7090]

Tfl what happened to the TFL OFF ROAD ADVENTURE ACROSS THE USA? If possible please provide me a link. Thanks

[@badgerpa9]

covid or chinese communist party virus happened.

[@chechoboost]

Great looking bike for the $.... looks like they did a good job in this version DLX.

[@R.Nelson]

That's cool...most of it's put together..not a bad set up...nice

[@06colkurtz]

Are you saying dirty riding isn’t an adventure? I rode them from 1974 till 2010 when my ability to heal couldn’t keep up with the get offs. Never a boring minute in that time🙈. Real dirt bikes don’t have light switches either

[@keirokeiro1976]

The Japanese bikes come boxed too lol. The dealership puts them together.

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Pretty much standard shipping skeleton. Helped with some ATV's and Side by Side builds and they're not bad at all. Can't you put that disk in a computer? Keep up the good work.

[@Zalagar619]

None of the computers in my house have DVD drives in them lol. I literally bought on when I was building my PC, then realized I'd never use it and they look ugly so in the closet it sits

[@mariodesmo]

Man, if I were a 16 year old kid I'd be all over one of these. It does have the looks, hopefully it'll run as good as it looks. I would like to see it run, where's that video?! Com 'on man, get on it! lol

[@anthonyhilchey8215]

Wicked Pissah Cool Video. Good luck with the bike building

[@brianaustin1328]

How about documentation? How do you register it?

[@TFLbike]

Please stay tuned

[@badgerpa9]

@@TFLbike same hawk station, same hawk time?

[@JogBird]

oh man, Specialized (the bicycle brand) just released a $20k bike that is mostly made in China

[@mariodesmo]

The bike scene has gone nuts. It used to be you could buy a really good brand (Specialized/Trek) mountain bike, or street bike for a grand or a little over that.

[@iray3242]

ADV on a budget. I like the concept of this build.

[@whoone3205]

Put the dvd in a cd drive. Your computer should be able to read it.

[@06colkurtz]

WHATS GOING ON!? I’m watching your video! What did you think? LOL. Maybe just “Welcome to the latest installment by bikers for bikers!”

[@masonmyette6985]

When it come to that knife, bigger does not mean better

[@yorkchris10]

Too bad they won't ship to Venezuela so I can start Amazonian ride.

[@painterboy454]

Pretty amazing for not being a "real bike" lol!

[@volvo09]

At least it's "STRONGEST" though.... Haha.

[@chanktx9447]

I have three different Chinese bikes they are definitely real bikes

[@WW-wf8tu]

By now it is too late to highly suggest you use that DVD for instructions. Can find a DVD drive in 1 of your test vehicles or someone has a DVD drive in your crew. If not, they are a dime a dozen to buy at used electronic shops or online. Looking forward to seeing this project completed. As Kase pointed out, the scuffs and nicks are everywhere. Shame.

[@juanticimo]

jumps, we all wanna see jumps!!!

[@DarksideSleemo]

Beef up the swingarm immediately. Mine bent like a banana on a small pothole.

[@vrp9187]

man that was a really dull knife but good video anyways

[@capt.Justin]

The fool just said real bike🤦‍♂️

[@Boogabeega]

[@geebonzo]

I just wouldn't buy a bike from Amazon. These cheap old-tech bikes are common across the globe. The prices are a lot lower in most of the world. The question is when there are dealers and parts and test rides across the US, for $2k cycles. The TFL intro to the Honda Cub shows the divide. The Cub is a little too techy, too refined, with ultra limited storage. The Cub is stranded where I live. There is no way out of town that doesn't involve a 65 - 80 mph road. So what do you need to get out of my little town? At least a 250. Most of the YT vids have been very short term, so you get no sense of how to make a $2k cycle work. Most of the big channels are so scatter-shot, just all over the place. I'd suggest just being disciplined.

[@chechoboost]

Tons of parts in Amazon and in different websites....u will surprise how many HAWK BIKES we have now in US

[@chaosseat]

Nice, you copied Beards and Bikes content, how original....

[@TFLbike]

Nice, you copied every other troll’s passive aggressive comment, how original....

[@chaosseat]

@@TFLbike, Thanks! I got exactly what I wanted...lol. Under someones skin! BTW, I'll say "hi" next time I see you guys riding around, I ride too!

[@chaosseat]

@Tristan cervantes Yep, completely butt hurt...lol
