I watched any number of Hawk owner videos...plenty of nightmare stories from the pre-counterbalanced engine days of bolts falling off; videos about title and registration fails...

But a number of the more recent videos seemed to show owners pretty happy, with bikes starting on demand

I'm over the worst of the Hawk's problems. Upgrading the battery and replacing the ridiculous battery and solenoid "thick wires" with actual cables helped a lot.
