i understand taking the stickers off a bike to make it look clean...but can someone explain to my why many of the Superhawks out there put decals on from other bikes? i see far too many 1000R stickers...my bike with the Jardines kinda sounds like a Ducati but i am not gonna put Ducati logos on it.

 

to many people asking what is that a 600?

 

uh that's why it says 996 on the bike... o_O

 

a 600? no @#$%ing way ...it doesnt sound or look like a bike that small. i understand the 996 part but why the 1000R on the tail section?

 

1000r - vtr1000 eh not a big difference. just want to be different

 

It looks cool and its a VTR 1000 "V-Twin-Race" 1000cc so why not? They don't make a sticker 996R

 

The 1000R comes from Tapeworks for the RC51. I like 'em and have thought about getting a set.

 

but the bike isnt an "R" its an "F" thats all i am saying...why make it to be something it is not?

 

Wants to pay more for insurance??

 

Oh yeah... Here's one to prove that there are some very uninformed people out there... lol...
The young lady (16-18 ) leans out the side of the car and asks... "Is that a scooter?"

How would you respond??? 8)

 

"Silly Girl, scooters are for Chicks!" LOL

 

I saw a Chevy Blazer with a two foot wide Ford logo in the rear window (?!)I saw a Z28 with a f&%#ing VTEC badge on it the other day. I have a '72 Vette and had an old lady ask me "Is that the new Porsche?" And yes I got chased down by a guy down the street from my folks house in his suburban after installing some D&D's on my superhawk because he loved the sound of "my Ducati." So 1000R decals are not THAT far off for a superhawk.

 

Besides it's nothing new. Remember when everyone with a 4 cyl mustang put "5.0" badges on the fender? "ZR1" logos on their regular Vette. Seen plenty of "AMG" Mercedes and plenty of "M3" BMWs. I could go on and on. You don't need to spend the extra 30k, just add a badge! Drive around in Boca for awhile everyone wants to be special...

 

Sure there's an "F" at the end (for faired I guess) but whats the "R" for in VTR? People do race them, then again they race lawn mowers too :P

I don't think its that far off if any. The Hawk could be an "R" and the RC51 an "RR"

1000 looks more impressive than a measly 996 ha ha

Maybe if we put 1300R on then you could bitch
