I don't know how it would translate to crank HP, but there is a video of one on a Dyno, and it makes just shy of 11 HP at the wheel, at around 7,500 rpm, and makes at least 10HP from about 6,300- 8,600 rpm. I makes about 8 ft lbs of torque between 5,000, and 7,000 rpm. . I don't know how much a properly jetted , but otherwise stock Hawk, or similar would make on a wheel Dyno. |

Not to mention, the flex that the thin standard forks provide isn't actually a bad thing, especially on rough surfaces.

I like the looks of the Magician, but I would stay away from them. They evidently have way worse welds, and are likely to have leaking gas tanks, and a hard, to get rear sprocket. I don't know about weight capacity, but I know the bikes are smaller, and it's evidently cramped enough to make even gett to the carburetor difficult. I think that is the bike that you have to adjust the idle via a hole in the frame.

The KPX is better on gas because of that fuel injection. If I were to replace my Hawk I would have a KPX tomorrow for that very reason, and the better OHC engine... and the 6th gear.

I guess it's just the looks of the front forks that may make then seem like they are weak, and while the box tubing rear swing arm could obviously bend if abused, I guess as the bikes age, rust could become an issue, but I would chalk that up to the owner as much as the design. 6th gear on the KPX is not really as high as one may think. I think that with the 17/46 sprockets on the Hawk, and comparing to the stock sprockets on the KPX ( don't know the size), it seems like 1st on the KPX is now a little lower, than 1st in the Hawk, but not by much, and that 6th is about 1/2 a gear higher than 5th on the Hawk. I think the Hawk would run about 70 as easily as the KPX 75. It seems like the KPX feels heavier than the Hawk as well, but I don't really know. I plan on, loosing weight, and I figure that both bikes will have a lot more pep.LOL |

me too. i feel the best performance upgrade for my Hawk is me dropping 100lbs heheheh. I know I would feel more steady on the trails and probably be able to hit at least 67.5mph heheheheeh

The RXE does look like a nice deal. Assuming that it does come with the counterbalanced version of the engine, the only minor compromises are no engine gaurd and standard forks. Those turn signals look identical to the ones I got on the Storm, and it looks like a good rack. And yup, it's hard to beat that price! The standard Hawk "X" costs over $400 more, but looks so similar and has essentially all the same stuff!
