New CSC TT250/Hawk BETTER than 1970s Japanese bikes?

Maybe? Japanese bikes were made for performance, and they used higher quality materials than the manufacturer does in the TT250 and SG250. Better metallurgy out of Japan for sure.

The big thing you need to realize about the SG250 is that it's way smaller than the 1970s bikes. It's just about a 3/4 scale motorcycle. The seat looks like it can accommodate a rider and passenger, but it can't. Your butt will take up the whole seat. It looks almost Grom-ish under a tall or heavyset guy. That said, it's nice and light because of that. So if you're okay with that, go for it.
