Depends imo what you want to use it for , or what it's primary use will be. The Hawk comes with knobbies and is imo better off road ,altho it is not a true dirt bike .The Hawk also comes with a 21" front wheel which is more suited to dirt .
the TBR7 comes with more street oriented tires and smaller front rim of 19" which is more responsive for street use .Other than this they are very similar and most of their parts will interchange. I dont know if any Hawks are currently available but just today 6/05/20 i looked all over the internet and no one has any TBR7's in Stock, they all say they are taking pre-orders only , i tried Q9 ,TXpowersports and a few others , i was ready to buy one but im not falling for that give them my money for a Pre Order again, last time i did that the date kept getting pushed out, and out, and out .

The Hawk has a longer standing track record, but in all they are more or less the same horse in a different color. Each has flaws that are easy and cheap to fix.

as i understand it ....the hawk has bigger wheels and more aggressive stock tires for the dirt.... the tbr7 has smaller wheels that are more 65/35 road..... but as megadan says they are basical the same....

It's my understanding that with the exception of the left & right case caps, the engines are literally identical between the two. Is the frame & swing arm the same as well?
