You shouldn't have any probelms other than sore tail feathers.  I made it across the US and back (ironically from Iowa) in 1979 on a beat up 1972 Yamaha 175 Enduro 2-stroke with Dad's Army duffel bag and an old metal gas can strapped to the back.  Ah, cleaning sparkplugs twice a day and the smell of 2-stroke in the morning.  Changing carb jets in rest areas.  The joys of sleeping in an Army half tent during a hail storm.  How many peanut butter sandwiches can you eat in two weeks?  Eggs, both hard boiled and fried?  Rain gear was a 55 gallon trash can liner converted to a pancho.  752,000 bug splats to the face, mirrored aviation suglasses and a 3/4 helmet from the $.25 table at a garage sale.  Borrowed Dad's leather gloves and grandfather gave me an old pair of steel arched lineman boots he wore when some men spent thier days climbing wooded telephone poles with spikes on thie boots.  GPS was maps, communication was collect calls from a phone booth.  On the last day rode most of the night to make it home to work a 12 hour shift slinging cardboard...felt like I could have turned around and done it again. .... fast foward 47 years... Last year during a 700 mile day, I thought I was seriously inconvenienced on a trip when the cruise control went out on the Electriglide, time is undefeated.

I’m in Mexico and can’t believe what $2,500 got me.

It’s a 2026 vento drakar 300 S. It’s been a great bike so far!

I have one of these. The weak point is the exhaust. it is very heavy and the welds can vibrate apart. Replace with (cat-free) aftermarket exhaust for better performance as well as weight and durability

This is the first video I've seen where the bike doesn't struggle to start, let alone on the first try. :P

70 miles to the gallon to that little hawk

Lifting ,grunting an struggling, all while theres a 5 gallon bucket in the background...
..lol

I got a Grom clone last year the same way.  Dude wheeled it out back for me and everything.  Bike works fine, starting the mods soon.

I got the whole Cheech and Chong  vibe listening to the two of yall

wet clutch specific motor oil.  should have a pic of a motorcycle on it

Who else thinks the hawk tua girl every time he says the brand of bike

I bought the same airmoto pump and it works great for motorcycles. I eventually bought 3 more for work purposes for my guys.

That big chrome screw on the left side is your oil filter!

Had a 2017 Hawk 250, upgraded the speedo, chain/sprocket/tires/inntertubes, then put 5k miles on it.....back then it cost $1200. So since Covid this is still a bargain and fun starter bike.

That plastic piece in the brake caliper is a spacer so you don’t squeeze the brake and close the caliper on accident.

Dang it, another channel I gotta sub to

All single cylinder 4 strokes sound like my old Honda Mini Trail from 1970.

15:44 definitely get motorcycle specific oil since it’s designed for the engine and clutches

Talk about enjoying the fun of you putting this together.  Damn you, want one now!

The USB flash drive is probably just a digital instruction manual with build directions.

Something you should also know is that these bikes have super short valve check intervals (the og  Hawk was 1000 miles).
