Of course, those videos were after I tore it apart and did a bunch of mods.

The stock TT is a nice, mellow unit. Sounds like an old Honda 90. It did improve after a few hundred miles and it was starting to loosen up. You could start to feel a nice mid-range pull developing by then. These CG motors are TIGHT out of box but that's very common knowledge. The top speed, stock, is like other Hondoids, not that fast. They're geared to climb trees.

I really like the TT250 and don't regret the purchase one bit. CSC has been nothing less than spectacular. It's a nice solid bike under you and comes with some really cool stuff the Hawk doesn't, like the 300 watt stator, USD forks, LED turns, etc.
That said, if the Hawk is available to you in your state and you can get it plated, which it's NOT available here in CA, you may want to think about a Hawk or Storm and saved some $$$ if cost and budget are a super-concern to you.
