Ran across this on Craigs List (Seattle-Tacoma area)

"2003 Yamaha FZ1, won street bike of the year. Great condition, no damage, good tires, well maintained. Very comfortable for rider and passenger. Extra wind screens and handle bar risers included. $6000 obo. Will consider trades for a Honda Superhawk of equivalent value. 206-391-4136. bradyipock@hotmail.com"

 

hmmmm how do those 2 bikes match up performance wise?

 

I would geuss something like this:
gas mileage- FZ1
comfort- FZ1
acceleration-SH
high speed- FZ1
torque-SH
agility-SH
horsepower-FZ1

am I forgetting anything?
versatility-FZ1
fun factor-SH

VTR1000F Super Hawk ('00)

Hmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!

 

Different animals, but the FZ1 will definitely smoke the Hawk in the engine department.

 

Anyone here go for the trade?

Had to find something to post on...
