if you are looking at off-road, then yes, I agree with you. my paradigm is from a dual sport perspective, being able to ride to a location 2 hours or so away and then enjoy the backroads. getting there would require some speeds up to 65 or 70. the RX3 may handle this better, but the hawk is just not built for it. not enough useful power. my mind pictures something along the lines of a KLR, but in a slightly lighter duty package. all of this using basic technology, no frills, and a price tag that makes it more viable to average guys as a second or third bike.
