I put just over 2,000 on the odometer on it, then it was stolen out of the garage on my property (farm) out in the country. I had a couple of street bikes, but I just didn't enjoy them as much as the Brozz. I jumped at the chance to buy a nearly new TBR7D with just 400 showing on the odometer for $1,300 .It already had 42/17 sprockets, and was rejetted it ran great. The guy just got in a financial jam. It already had a real title. I also got the old sprockets with it, and I put the Stock 46 on it , and run it with the 17. I replaced the rear sprocket studs with Honda studs, and replaced the chain. I did splurge on full exhaust, Nibbi PE28FL, and pod filter. I have cheap bags, and homemade fork brace, as well as additional preload spacers. I have had everything I need to port the head, and a 4 degree timing key, but never did any of that yet. I am now showing just over 3,000 on the odometer, but I know it reads kilometers, so I have over 1,800 miles on it. Any my Hawk was probably the best deal of all . It's a 2016, but had almost no miles, and it runs great . I have spent almost nothing on it. I replaced the chain, and sprocket studs,and installed the stock 46 /17 sprockets from my old Brozz on it. I de catted it. Properly jetted it for the exhaust work, Nibbi Filter, and cheap bags, I also found a great deal on a Zanella digital speedometer cluster on eBay, and bought an adjustable shock, and made new preload spacers for the forks, and a fork brace. I has probably close to 1,000 miles on the bike now. I have already put more miles on, and spent less on the 3 bikes together, than a lot of people do on bikes that they have payed far more for, and more on upgrades.
