Hawk DLX EFI speed

Change your sprockets.

Your signature says top speed; 70. Did you confirm that with GPS? If that's MPH, I can't help you. With a sprocket change, I can barely get 65MPH.

Made a liar out of myself....I reached a speed of 68 yesterday.

take a look at the new CFMoto 450MT

Is the 450 MT also called the Ibex? I've seen some media about the Ibex 450 from CFMoto.

I see from your sig that your using 17t front and 47 rear, so sounds to me that is a good combo for a stock bike! I might try doing the same thing on my ‘21 250 DLX. I also have an Expro Storm 150 DLX and after riding that for a short time getting on the Hawk feels like sitting on a soft couch…just thought I would add that thought…

My friend has the CSC TT250 and has had it for several years. He guided me toward the 47/17 sprocket combo. Funny, he said the seat on my Hawk was much softer and more comfortable than his TT250.

Quick note on those CF Moto bikes. I was seriously looking at them myself before I got my Royal Enfield. I decided against it for one reason, which was several more recent stories of owners having issues getting warranty issues resolved, such as engine leaks and other small part failures. Just a point to consider if you are going to drop thousands on one, they aren't much better than the cheap China bikes we all have.

Irony. I put a TT250 seat on my Hawk because the Hawk seat sucks. lol

As far as cushioning goes the DLX seat is comfy.to me, but recently, I've felt like the dip in the seat puts me a little too far forward.. I've sat on my buddies tt250 and a couple of tw200's, but the Hawk is all I've ever ridden.
