Hello,
Been on the fence for a bit of time and found one within 3 hrs of me in my price range that I am ready to pull the trigger on. Flatlander in Minnesota. Talked with the owner a bit and he had a mixed opinion of the thing. Kinda has me worried. Guy says he rode it for 10 minutes and was wore out. Sounds like he was a bit intimidated by it and put it up for sale. Im 45 and relatively good shape but been a smoker forever. This probably wont change anytime soon. Just wondering if I am going to have the same opinion. Reading here it might be it wasnt set up for flatland riding. IE the wrong ski, lack of trail adaptor, no studs...I dont know what these things look like and he apparently didnt either
Anyways, the Hawk looks like a blast. Bummer is I dont live in the mountains but do live right in the middle of a trail system (it runs accross my land) that now has a good 8-10" of snow and well groomed trails. Some boondocking thru the fields would occur but thinking I would run the groomed trails the most as riding byourself gets a little boring after awhile.
My expectation is that is a little tricky in the beginning but assuming a couple hrs by myself out in the field would give me the jest of it and just get better from there. Thinking if I survived putting 50 miles on it.. I should be comfortable enough to ride with a group not holding anyone back. Eh?
Been a bike guy forever. Mostly street bikes but rode an IT200 and a 406 ATk for a few years a couple weekends a year. No hardcore motocross experience but not afraid to ride anything either.
Just looking for opinions. 04 600. Its a 5k investment that my wife approves of (vs spending 8k on a Rush) but would be dissapointed if it was something I just couldnt get the hang of or couldnt eventually ride at least 50 miles in a day.
