first bike

Hi, I'm Mike and I just joined the boards the other day. My father-in-law is giving me his 98 superhawk. It's my first bike but unfortunatly it needs some work. He's had it for 4 years but he has the rear end torn off polishing parts out. So I just got a manual so we can put it back together and then all I need is a new fuel tank and a battery. Can't wait to learn to ride it.

If its been sitting for 4 years you may want to clean out the carbs while it is down, also get some manual CCT's, change all the fluids and get some frame sliders.

Be careful on it. it's a handful for a new rider. Welcome to the forum!

thanks everyone, and yes I plan on replacing the fluids. I figure the bike is worth putting some money into since it only has like 7k miles.
