Just finished placing my order for a 250cc Hawk Enduro motorcycle. I plan to install more suitable tires for my riding as it most likely will never see off road. I'm hoping with the larger suspension and road tires that it will ride better than my scooter did. It was ordered from Q9 Powersports out of Madison, WI. I will post updates on the progress of the order.

The hawk is the most popular 250 out there from china and from what I hear, you should love it.
I found having a bad back that the bigger the scooter motor the worse the shock to your back is on a bad road. Just got back from eating at the senior center on my klx250s. I have one scooter left, an antique 180 riva and that rode a lot smoother than a 400cc majesty.

Got a call from the trucking company yesterday and was given a noon-4pm delivery time frame for the Hawk. They arrived at 12:15 and used a lift gate to lower the Hawk down to my utility trailer. Box was in excellent shape so I'm confident it was handled well. All told, ordered on June 28, delivered on July 7. I will attach a couple of pics here then start a thread in the motorcycle section. After opening the box to verify VIN and engine numbers, (they did match the numbers stamped on outside of the box) I emailed the vendor (Q9 powersports in WI) the numbers to apply for the MCO and bill of sale....Shortly after that I received a confirmation email acknowledging that they had received the numbers. It is estimated to take 10 business days to get the MCO from the mfg. Overall, I'm pleased with this company. I'll update this thread when I have the MCO in hand.   |

Just as a final followup on this order, Q9 processed the Certificate of Origin on the 21st of July. I have had a completely satisfactory experience with Q9 and I can wholeheartedly recommend them.
