Remember Merlin I can't say why because I could be to harsh, can't have that now can we.

this whole balance shaft vs not has me thinking. I have had many thumpers, and my TT250 is the smoothest. It feels like it would run at 8200RPM all day, and my hands and feet don't suffer. I cannot imagine it would be better without the balance shaft.

As far as the forks go. I doubt there is any measurable benefit. Certainly the "adjustable" rear shock on my TT is still a sh*t shock. I'd certainly feel better taking apart the conventional fork of the Hawk.

nice not having to worry about electric heated gear with the 300W alternator on the TT.

I agree on the smooth part
