The KPX is about $700-1000 more than the Hawk DLX, depending on where you buy it. And to upgrade the Hawk to its best, but cheapest, upgrade route, you're looking at about $100 in parts at most. (Sprockets, chain, plug, oil). Can also spend $500 on a big bore kit and ECU tune if so inclined.
But for a lot less money you can have the DLX as a great town bike that can do limited highway.
The KPX can do highway out of the box and doesn't need any upgrades unless you want them.
I personally went with the Hawk DLX because I wanted to build it myself (ordered it crated from TX Motorsports), and I wanted to fool around with trying different upgrades. So, saving $700 from the start lets me feel better about tearing it apart and replacing things. It's a toy, so I wanted to fiddle.
Just my 2 cents.
