The Regal Raptor GTXL 165R is a beginner sportbike. There are a lot of sportbikes in Bangladesh, but they are all at 165cc or less. A few years ago, Chinese sportbikes were considered Taboo, as they used to be compared to other Chinese products. Nowadays, Chinese sportbikes are considered better, as they cost less. This is why bikes such as the Regal Raptor GTXL 160R, have become quite popular over the years. 

Regal Raptor is a Chinese manufactured motorcycle brand that has reached the Bangladeshi market through some independent importers. Over the years Regal Raptor motorcycles have made a very big contribution to the cruiser scene in Bangladesh. Two of the most famous Regal Raptor motorcycles are the Regal Raptor Pilder and the Regal Raptor Spyder. Here we will be talking about the Regal Raptor Lexmoto Hawk 150R. 

Key Features:

The Lexmoto Hawk 150R is a sports bike. The character of the bike is much stronger than what people think. The bike looks like a very premium sports bike. The bike gets very cool features such as the clip-on, the USD suspensions, split seat, and full fairing all make the bike very sporty and race friendly. The bike also gets liquid cooling. 

The Lexmoto Hawk 150R comes to Bangladesh in three colors. They are: 

1. Red.
2. Blue.
3. Black. 

All colors of the bike come with similar decals. 

The Lexmoto Hawk 150R comes with a very informative instrument cluster. The instrument cluster contains a speedometer, RPM counter, odometer, trip meter and other necessary information. Additionally, the instrument cluster will also include a gear position indicator and clock.  

Physical Attributes:

The Lexmoto Hawk 150R is a sporty bike that comes with full sporty ergonomics. The bike has a low seating position, which is good for any rider above the height of 5’3”. The bike has a widespread out seat with the bike also coming with a split pillion seat which gives the rider and the pillion some privacy. The bike also has grabrails unlike most sports bikes available in Bangladesh. 

The length, width, height, and weight of the Lexmoto Hawk 150R are 1925mm, 750mm, 1075mm, and 135kg respectively. The bike is quite light, which makes it very nimble at corners and easy to flick from one side to another quite easily. The bike has a wheelbase of 1320mm, which is good enough for cornering. 

Engine and Transmission:

The Lexmoto Hawk 150R comes with a single-cylinder, 4-stroke, and 150cc engine. The engine is carbureted, and oil-cooled. There is no information about the power and torque figures of the bike, but the torque is expected to be around 14Nm and the power is expected to be anywhere around 15-16BHP. Since the bike is carbureted, it can be expected that the bike will have a fuel economy of a minimum of 30-35kmpl. 

The Lexmoto Hawk 150R comes with a basic wet multi-plate clutch system with a 6-speed gearbox. The 6-speed gearbox will be fun to ride with as the bike will have power even at the 6th gear. The bike is expected to have a top speed of around 130kmph. 

Brakes, Suspensions, and Wheels:

The Lexmoto Hawk 150R comes with a dual disc brake setup. The front of the bike comes with a disc with axially mounted calipers. The front brake of the bike is expected to perform decently as the disc is quite big. The rear is a basic disc brake. The rear brake increases the braking profile of the bike. The turn-off is the fact that the bike does not come with any CBS or ABS. At this price, a CBS would have done wonders to the bike. 

The Lexmoto Hawk 150R comes with upside-down suspensions at the front and a basic mono-shock at the rear. The USD suspension at the front is good for leaning at the corners, but the bike is not very friendly when it comes to face-to-face with a speed bump. The rear mono-shock will be very helpful to keep the bike stable while leaning. This suspension increases the sporty profile of the bike. 

The Lexmoto Hawk 150R comes with a very unique tire setup. The front tire and rear tires are 130/70, and 130/70 respectively. The tire setup may not be the best setup out there, as this kind of tire setup has not been tested or tried out.  

Target Audience:

The Lexmoto Hawk 150R is for the young generation and the youngsters of Bangladesh. The bike will attract people who are looking for a sportbike but is on a budget. The bike is also great for intermediate riders who are just upgrading from a commuter bike or a sports commuter to an entry-level sportbike. This bike will also be a bit difficult for beginner riders.

1. Regal Raptor Sports GTR.
2. Taro GP-2 Sport.

However, the bike’s reliability is questionable, as there is not enough information about the bike. There are more reliable bikes available in Bangladesh in this price range as well.
