The KLX ..
USD forks / linkage suspension / 50% more power
water cooled / 6 gears..
Also the KLX250 started life as the KLX300
smaller bore / lower compression / milder cams...
The KLX250 is a tuff little motor...
they make some nice 300 & 350 kits for them..

It's really depends on what you are going to use the
hawk for.. you say you ride some rough trails...
whats your idea of rough ?... I have no dought the Hawk will
do it... how long it will do it for is the thing.. The running
gear could be more of a issue than the motor...

my first and only chinese bike I broke the frame & twisted
the swing arm.... I learnt you can't ride them like a japper...
