If I tuck in (in a very uncomfortable position for this style of bike), I can get my Hawk up to 72 or so, but it's so light it feels like I'm going to get the death wobble and go ass over tea kettle. For what it is, I really enjoy the Hawk just running local errands. It was great during the ride to Wickenburg a few months ago we did, too. But all in all, it's just not a very good bike to go around the world on. My DR went from Tennessee to Oregon (and then on to Washington State) on the TAT, and I didn't have a second's hesitation about taking it. That's not a ride I would do on the Hawk without three more Hawks waiting for me along the trail.

My wife says I only have two faults. I don't listen and something else...

If at first you don't succeed, try doing it the way I told you to...
