1999 HONDA Superhawk 996 -VTR 1000 F

I have no connection to the seller... just thought a few of us Hawk fans would enjoy this rare oddball bike?? looks pretty cool to me!

Check out that gas tank.

Nice, reminds me of the sumohawk that was built on here years ago.

That's a trip. Need to swap out those beetle bags for some aluminum panniers, though. Who's with me?!?

The rake on the front looks pretty scetchy to me.

I believe the rake is stock. He simply has longer forks fitted.

Yes, and I believe part of that is also an optical illusion because the forks dip below where they mount to the wheel quite a bit. I do think ride height has been increased front and rear overall though at least a little because it doesn't look like a stock sidestand either..

I think its a cool build for the right person, I don't care for the over all look, but like I said, I do dig those bags

OUCH!

Thank you O Great Genie. My second wish is for one ton of $100 bills so it won't hurt to buy that tank.

Um, that looks sad! Why would someone do that to a Hawk?

I give the dude credit for all the work that was put into it. Not exactly my cup of tea.
What's funny, is as soon as I saw the extended forks, I thought of this bike

Wow that kawi is ridiculous.

The VTR is nicely done for what it is. I'm not overly confident about using 250 forks, they seem a little small and flexible for the VTR's weight...maybe something bigger so you can hit some big jumps haha

Ugh, that is not pretty. Probably buy it and steal the tank!
