When I got my first Hawk I rode it mostly stock with only 17/45 sprockets and a vm26 carb with proper jetting for the bike and it could propel my 6ft4 self along up to 63mph at full throttle after break in was complete.
I then installed an exhaust and did the airbox lid mod, adjusted my.jetting, and the bike could reach up to 68mph.
The stock exhaust is choked off by a rather crappy catalyst and is the.biggest single restriction on the carbed Hawk.
