It appears that the Hawk engine is similar/identical to the air cooled 230cc lump in the TT250. In other words, not much in common with our NC250 motive unit. As I understand it, the 230cc engine is a clone of a Honda engine that is one of the most widely produced single cylinder engines of all time.
Where the NC250 has a overhead cam, roller tappets, fuel injection, dual oil pumps, 6 speed transmission and water cooling the 230 is pushrod, carb, 5 speed, air cooled. Oh, and 24 hp vs 16 hp. I had a TT250 and can attest to the simplicity and light weight. The RX3 fits my needs much better.
