My daughter bought one of these in 2018 and still has it. I assembled it for her and I'm a veteran professional bike mechanic from back in the '60s and '70s. Here's some things to note on setting up to ride: 1) The drive chain comes too tight and if you ride it without giving it the proper slack, it could ruin the output shaft bearing and robs power. 2) It comes jetted lean and is also lean on the jet needle position which doesn't come with alternate positions for the needle. A thin flat washer under the needle retainer brings the mid-range position for a much happier running unit. 3) The chrome plated wire fixtures are cable guides that fit the front forks to keep the cables from snagging against the tire, do use them. Also, there is a slight tendency for the speedo cable to be damaged up near the steering head against some body parts. Take care, the replacement parts for these are way overpriced. Her machine came with a locking gas cap, lots different than the one shown here. The engine is a knock-off of an engine designed for use in third world circumstances and is different from other Honda engines in being a push-rod design - it also uses one cam lobe for both intake and exhaust. With stock gearing and some break-in miles, 50mph is about as happy as it gets and it does vibrate noticeably in the higher rpm range but will maintain cruise well enough. Change the oil delivered in the machine after a bit of warm up; adjust the valves after it cools from about a 15 minute operating period. The way it comes in the shipping crate is much like the way a dealer would have gotten them delivered, at least as it was back in the day. Being an experienced mechanic really helps to figure out all the washers and other hardware to make sure it's put together the way they intended.

These bikes are really popular in the Dominican Republic and I expect a lot of other less-than-wealthy countries too. It's basically the same bike being sold under lots of different brands. It really is not a bad bike, performance wise for what it is and for the price. The problem is overall quality and reliability. A lot of the parts are just cheap. The flip side is that in areas where these bikes are popular, spare parts are REALLY cheap, You can get what you need in any town in the DR. And given the roads here, which are less than ideal but rarely see see speeds over 60 kph (except the major highways), and the fact that many of them are dirt, it's just about the perfect bike for down here.

Used to own one of these a few years ago in high school. Absolutely loved it. Only went 45mph full throttle out of the box. By changing the carb jets, opening the air box and swapping sprockets I obtained 65mph with the wind to my back. It still wasn’t fast by any means but they were super cheap modifications. I found that the bike itself is based off an old 1978 Honda engine and sprocket set up. I really only had a few complaints on the bike with the first being that the original chain was absolute crap but I got a better one for like $20. The second was the stock speedometer was very generic looking, replaced that with a $95 digital one. And the third complaint was the original rear sprocket studs. After a few weeks of hard riding and wheelies, the studs sheered right off. Remembering the bike it’s based off of, I purchased OEM Honda studs that fit perfect and lasted for the remainder of ownership. Honestly miss the thing lol

The metal toy things are to keep the speedo and brake cables from flopping around into your tire,. A little bigger jet will wake it up, and a slightly taller gearing can help. And change the spark plug to a NGK. That can help it run a bit better also. Break in the engine and change the oil a lot at first. I've got a 200cc China Bike from 2007. It still runs... Sometimes the electrical stuff can be cheap.. thin wires. Some seem OK. Just locktite lots of the bolts also to keep them from vibrating loose. These are good little knock around bikes, for beginners. And cheap enough you don't cry if you break something. Parts are actually readily available also.. Enjoyed the video..

I have a Chinese bike AJS TN12 125. It does what it says on the tin... gets me from A-B. Ok, the servicing is more frequent than a Japanese bike for example BUT, as long as you keep them serviced and looked after they should go for many years. I bought it for peanuts brand new. It is just the bike I need to get me ready for the bigger bikes. It's not where the bike is made, its how the bike makes you feel. Put speed aside..... its the feeling of being on a bike and free that makes people love bikes, when they are small cc bikes they are for fun and to learn. My bike goal is a Ducati Diavel, but this bike is exactly what I need just now to practice on.

i am calling it now before even watching it. It is going to be a base model Hawk 250. They are actually fun bikes. I didn't know they were for sale on amazon. I know the Orion models have been for several years.The motor is based on the Honda CG125 motor that has been upsized to 230cc. so not a true 250cc. There are many models and they are great bikes for around town or to work on. Don't forget to check the valves and change the motor and fork oil. once they are properly broken in they are slightly faster. Which is a characteristic of the Honda CG motor. You might also want to look into changing the rear sprocket. Edit: just finished the video,several things. I hope you changed the oil, as what came in it is just shipping oil. Your valve lashings are out of spec. .05 on the intake and .08 on the exhaust. They take alot of Honda 230 parts, like the exhaust. That is the base level hawk 250. There are models with USD forks and even EFI. There should have been a manual. Dont know why there wasn't. A tip for installing the front wheel. You should have left it on the crate. Then unbolted the front and lifted it up. Those "toys" where to hold the cables ion the front fork.

I bought it in 2013..... 7 years later it's still running with over 30,000 miles on it, I have only changed oil & filter on it. Yes these things are reliable, but watch out, the speedometer top speed says "140 km" but in reality you are lucky if you hit 100 km top speed in real life.

So... Ive been riding for 50 years, have owned 30 or so,and many of those were dual purpose and motocrossers,as I raced throughout the 80s.When I was 15 I bought a Honda MT 125...ya the 2 stroke mocked up to look like the CR.It was great for riding to school and trail riding,but the suspension was TERRIBLE! It had the old oiler pump and tank and of course it burned WAY too much oil (to protect Honda from doing lots of seizure fixes while bike was still new). Looking at this bike,and seeing it perform, convinced me that I would have been much happier with it than I was with the Honda. Of course the old MT was before disc brakes and longer travel suspension,so to compare the 2 would be unfair. Interested to see how it holds up...and If you can actually get a warranty fix taken care of.

I bought one of these chinese honda knockoffs and gotta say I think i got more than my money's worth. No one will mistake it for a real motorcycle, but it makes me smile and cost less than $1000 almost new. Not much power, top speed about 50 and its real rough at that speed. But it is licensed for the street, it gets me to the dirt, and it is more fun in the dirt than it deserves to be. It will get up hills just fine, and I don't worry about dumping it. It is small so fairly light, easy to handle. Only thing I upgraded was a mikuni carb for $30. Worth the small amount of cash for the improvement in driveability. Had to rebuild the rear caliper as it rusted stuck over the winter. Broke a clutch lever, had to bubble gum fix it because I'm not going to pay $30!!! for a factory replacement. Would cost at least $1000 premium just for the dual sport street legality here in Oregon. The DMV here will not let you street your dirt bike.

I have owned and ridden a variety of motorbikes for street, dual and dirt and I would never touch something like this. I have turned wrenches and done the whole disassemble, resemble bit on bikes, cars, trucks, mowers, etc. and if you got parts laying about that you have no clue as to what they go to, don't assume they don't matter and go forward. Especially on a street bike. Dirt bikes generally if ridden with some caution can get away with failures safely. But street riding is a whole different environment you don't want failures on. Budget/cheap bike buys, even with warranties are not worth it if you are not a competent mechanic.
