Thanks for the replies. Yes I assumed it is mostly the same as the Hawk. Decal, handlebar, tire, differences possible. I purchased because the cost of fuel to drive to Texas and pick a bike up was about the same as paying for an assembled one in Grove, OK from the Vitacci Raven dealer. One thing I do like about the Raven is a switch to turn the headlight off completey. Not sure if the Hawk has that. Raven also has no handlebar crosspiece, which is weaker I assume but I thought it would allo for.mounting a phone more easily. With my weight, I can get the bike to 62mph with stock carb with stock adjustments. Nowdays I prefer the slower pace that the bike provides.
