That is actually kind of how I view the Hawk, like an old T100 with maybe a bit more clearance and travel. Just a good all around utilitarian bike that can swiss army knife itself through most situations well enough, even if it isn't particularly the greatest at any one of them.
With motorcycles being more and more specialized, it is kind of nice to own something that is a bit more "jack of all trades" so I don't need to own 5 bikes. Now I own two, and they are complete opposites of one another. If I need to eat highway miles, go set my hair on fire, or go run a track day - VFR. If I want to go put around town, go visit some family out in the "boonies", explore anywhere that isn't paved, etc. The Hawk works rather well, and I can ride it without really having to monitor my speed every few seconds to make sure I am not over the speed limit at felony levels without realizing it.
