Very New Rider needs some help

I will give you my opinion.

I bought the Hawk because it is priced as a throw away bike. I am not afraid to break something on it because parts are available all over Ebay and this forum is so helpful. The most I had done on my car was change my oil and change my rotors/pads. with this bike I have adjusted the valves and swapped spark plugs. Swapped the front sprocket and chain as well as other random items.

I put the hawk together over the course of two evenings. I spent ~$400 in mods and my total price is still under $1900. While I did look at the TT250 I couldn't justify spending the extra money.

I do believe CSC has said they will arrange to pay a local shop to do any warranty work you don't feel comfortable doing during the warranty period on the TT250. Also CSC has a good reputation for customer service.

With the Hawk I got a blinker module sent to me when it failed but that was a cheap part. If I needed something expensive I am not 100% sure I would have been as successful.
