wonder if there are actually any non stock parts inside. Seems kinda friend of my uncle Freds barber kind of stuff.
And 6k ? For that kind of bank you better get a bike thats way more trick. That looks bone stock.
My single sided swingarmed, cbr1k USD forked mario nava penske shocked hawk cost way less and is way more bike.

Can you run 12 to 1 pistons on pump gas? My first car was a beater 69 Pontiac GTO (11.75 to 1) and I used to mix 3/4th super unleaded with 1/4 leaded regular back when it was available. I still ended up retarding the timing a scootch to stop the knocking.
I hope the PO of that 'Hawk also put some money into suspension and brakes.
My favorite bike to date (I haven't found MY SuperHawk yet, was a KZ650 that I built as a Cafe Racer. It had a 740 piston kit and Z1 carburetors. It made lovely snarls and pops through its 4 into 1 exhaust. I had gotten new aftermarket shocks for it which improved the handling. I was actually saving up for a second disc brake kit for the front wheel when I rear-ended an idiot stopped at the top of a blind corkscrew interstate on-ramp. Oh foolish youth.
The moral of my sad story is spend your hop-up money on brakes, tires, and suspension first. The engine will wait.

Stock forks, calipers and I suspect as well, springs and valves/shims then, so, bone stock apart from exhaust, and possibly (likely?) pistons and cams... Ie, way to much engine for the suspension and brakes... I'd pass...
