Main differences -TT250 = Counterbalanced motor, Adjustable dampening and preload front and rear suspension and the USD forks, upgraded stator/charging system, LED signals, slightly larger front brake rotor. Rear sprocket is bolted directly to the hub, and generally better overall quality control on the parts. It's basically an upscale Hawk which is why the delivered price tag is about $1000 more. Many of the parts interchange, with a few exceptions here and there.
The Hawk has a little more suspension travel (about an inch more), much more off-road oritented factory gearing, and much more aggressive off-road tires.
In short, the TT250 is a much more refined and complete package that requires less tinkering and is suited much more toward a 50/50 on road/off-road application. The Hawk is a much more basic bike, but also makes a great blank canvas for guys like me that like to modify and tinker.
All of that said, the biggest difference, and where the price difference is truly justified on the TT250 beyond the hardware is the customer support offered by CSC. With a Hawk, you are left to your own devices when problems arise, and most dealers won't/can't help you. CSC on the other hand goes out of their way to help.
