Thats an overhead cam zong motor, the Hawk and tt250 have the pushrod motors, the major diff being the counterbalancer and lower compression on the zong. Like I said, I have both. The zong is in fact smoother, the hawk clearly has more low end grunt. both appear to be good motors. One thing, the zong clutch is VERY smooth and 2 finger light. The Hawks is stiffer. Zong tranny seems free'er running so far, Hawk's feels just plain industrial ![]() You are going to change the same things to get either ready for adv work, the Hawk just saves you more money.

I'm sure spinning the counterbanancer takes away a little umph but with these tiny motors, who knows how little. It's neat that you have both bikes to compare and I look forward to the reports as they go along. I don't have a Hawk to compare to but you're sure right when you say how solid of a feel the TT has when you're riding it. For a little bike, it has a very substantial, stable feel to it under you.
