2006 Super Hawk
What do you think Honda should do about a 2006 SH ?
Obviously carbs are on the way out because of emissions and the corporate bean counter like to use tooling already in service .
Will we see a revised version of the RC51 with friendlier ergos with the Super Hawk named slapped on it or a completely new bike using the same V-Twin SH engine except with fuel injection ?
Myself I would be happy to see just a larger fuel tank , forks , rear shock and brake upgrades and a fuel injection placed on the current motor with a cam and compression bump ......... and 1200cc's 8)

Re: 2006 Super Hawk
Keep it under 1000cc for insurance reasons (if nothing else). With FI and other internal improvements, it should have a little more torque but more of a top end "hit" so it doesn't die off like now. How about a retuned rc51 motor anyone? mmm, gear driven cam whine......
Upgrade the suspension/frame (not topshelf tho' to keep the price within reason), much better range, and riding position; give it more touring capability. Keep the RC51 around (with bold new graphics!) for those who want pure sport twin.
