Welcome!
Not to talk you out of a Hawk, because I love mine, but if you do plan on mainly using it off-road and not registering it, then have you considered alternatives like the Apollo DB-36? Same basic engine, slightly better off-road suspension, and right around the same price. They are made by TaoTao, which is a decent manufacturer and I know lots of guys love them.

As far as advantages to registering the Hawk.
The Hawk makes a decent backup bike/errand runner. I use mine a lot to go to work to save on fuel.
It gives you the ability to connect trails by using public roads.
It will give you a much wider audience to sell to if it is road legal.
