i have a 98' hawk in the fastest color there is (red)
but i notice that the engine itself makes a medium pitched recipricating sound in keeping with engine rpm. nothing you can hear from 5ft but to me it sound cheap. is this something i should be concerned about or is this something common to all hawks?

+1 on Red = Fastest Color!
I suggest you do a search on this site for CCTs (Cam Chain Tensioners) cuz that could be your noise...lot's of folks here change theirs out from the auto CCTs to manual CCT to avoid auto faulure...
Good luck bro!

VTR clutches are loud. If u have an f2 with 55K miles and it makes noise at 5K rpm, replace the ccts. Real easy to hear. Get a good screw driver and put it up to the engine and put your ear on the handle.
seriously. this works.
Put near the crank u should hear a whine (bearing?). Put near the head and all u should hear is the friggin explosions. If u have any other noises that stand out... Think about where its coming from. Seriously.
