It is said that the Hawk 250 is an upsized or larger clone of the Honda CG 125 which was a bike Honda did not make for the United States market. The CG motor has to do with the pushrod design (as opposed to OHC with a chain) for longevity and utter lack of any maintenance that most of these see around the globe. They were built to be durable with good torque, not necessarily powerful. Honda never made a CG250, only 125 and 150, and those were workhorse engines not designed to make a lot of power. There is only so much you can do with a pushrod engine with a single lobe cam.
Sources suggest two engine prototypes, a Honda CG125 and a 1985 Honda XR185. The main differences between the base and the X-Pro Hawks are its fuel systems, power output, and top-end speed. It has a 5-speed manual transmission with a 428 X-Ring chain final drive. Later models came with a 520 pitch chain drive.
