Appreciate all the replies, so far.
For the record......I already own the following:
- '75 Honda XL 175
- '81 Yamaha XT 250
The reason I want
this Hawk is I want a modern dual sport with everything
BRAND NEW!
There is nothing else on the market made by Honda, Yamaha, or Kawasaki, or any other "brand name" that comes close to this price for
BRAND NEW.
The reviews are pretty good on reliability - but just to add some protection I bought the 2 year warranty for an extra $80. Supposedly covers everything headlight to taillight.
And...it has electric start and my other ones as listed above do not!
