I have always been surprised at the number of value sized dudes riding Hawks.There are some large guys riding Hawks - I'm 6'2" ~205lbs and know many cats putting an easy 25-50lbs on me atop their Hawks
Good luck with your new ride- deffo enjoy it but no need to rush out the door! -
I`m 6`3" and 230 pounds and find the hawk a nice fit. Deffinitely better than alot of bikes I have sat on out, namely ducatis and the likes. Very often a flared tank will exagerate the bad fit of a bike.
apparently a new higher ride height and seat will give the bros those extra few inches of bigger bike feel. Something I aim to do t some stage but no real rush.'88 BROS 650

AFTER having the rear shock replaced... sumthing just not right there... i know when it is time to move on... my new bike rides very confertably... and suits my size alot better... i no longer look like a cuircus bear on a lil mini bicycle lolComment
