The Hawks peak about 7000-7500 and nose dive hard after that.

I can see someone that just wants to hop on one, and ride, and never doing any work to the bike themselves, but choosing to have it done in a shop, if needed buying one of these, but the fact that it has what appears to be nearly identical suspension to the base Hawk, Raven, TBR7 would make it nor a good value to me, but I do realize that the motor is FAR more efficient, and economical to operate.
Here is the video, it shows the curves at the end. There are also some were they put a 222cc kit , and more aggressive cam in one.
