i love my hawk
 

short story:
the hawk is arguably the most underrated motorcycle out there.

long story:
i bought my hawk around 2009. it was at a used car dealer and the price was so good i could not leave the poor thing there. since i bought it i have also had a gix1k, rc51, 1098, aprilia rxv550 supermoto, aprilia mxv450, and a cbr125(lol). of all thise bikes, the hawk has been one of the best.
this past weekend i looked at and test rode a monster s4rs tri colore. i told the owner i would think about what the monster is worth to me. on the ride home(1.5 hours) i kept thinking how awesome the hawk feels. i like it as much, or more than my 1098, and prob the monster i tested.
to sell my hawk would be a great loss for a small financial gain. so i have begun looking into higher clip ons or bars for the hawk. hopefully that will improve my old body's comfort level.

carry on.

Quite the list of bikes there. I share your passion for the VTR, believe me. BUT, you need to go for a quality ride on an MTS1200. All the comfort and a bad ass Italian twin between the knees. This moto impresses me more with each ride. It really is that good.

multistrada. hummmm.... never considered one of those before. thank you for bringing to my attention.
