Nice!! Looks sharp man - and red, due to the structure of the paint at the molecular level, presents less drag and is thus faster than the other colors!!
Looks like a Corbin seat? and leo vince exhaust? any other mods? throw a set of flush mounts on there and you're looking mint!
How many miles on her, and what did you pay? (if you dont mind telling...)
Ur 1st bike?

Came with a Corbin seat, two brothers slip-ons, steel braided brake lines, and some bigger mirrors. Other than that, I think the sprockets have been changed, as the speedo is about 15% off. The odo says 39,xxx but I think the reality is less due to the speedo being so far off and the condition of the bike. Bought it for $2800 cash.
The guy said it was lightly jetted to accommodate the exhaust, and tuned by a Honda mechanic. It runs great, and had to ride it about 100 miles to take it home. Other than that, the bike looks almost brand new!
Am selling my Yamaha Seca 2, 600cc to put this in the garage. Quite a bit of difference!

Very sharp!
There is nothing better than someone who takes great care of their bike and nothing worse than seeing a once beautiful motorcycle leaning against the fence in someone's yard, soaking up the sun, rain, snow and dust of the world.
Well done, enjoy the ride.

Nice! I recently joined the Superhawk world with a red 02 Hawk. Absolutely love it. One word of advice a friend gave me about the twin was be careful of the engine braking as you downshift especially if your starting into a corner. Its much different than a inline four until you get used to it. Does the Corbin accept a backrest for the passenger? I had a Corbin on a FJ1200 I had a few years ago that had a removeable backrest.

Rev the engine after pulling in the clutch lever, to match the RPMs to the lower gear.
I learned that in 1962, double clutching into 1st while rolling, with a transmission that didn't have syncro in 1st....1941 Chevy coupe, my first car bought for $60.
