New Hawk.

Well, I had started another thread here asking questions about superhawks before I bought one. Well, I got one, going on 5 days now. Finally got my camera to wal-mart, since apparently there is an issue with it and vista...

Unfortunately, had to ditch a few since my better half didn't think we needed a bunch of the bike. Here is one anyways... It's a completely stock bike, minus the K&N air filter the previous owner added. Just clicked over 21000 miles.

Wow, that's clean.

But you might want to check the age and the hardness of those tires before leaning it over too far. And the rear reflectors are easily removed by drilling out the heads of the aluminum rivets.

Enjoy the torque!

Yeah, tires are first up for replacement. Yeah it was babied quiet a bit from listening to the guy I bought it from. The torque is great! A big upgrade from my VFR750. For the moment it will stay stock. I am looking at tires and a seat cowl and then exhaust. There is an itty bitty scratch on the left side of the gas tank, can't tell it's there unless your really looking, so that's a good thing. Other than that, a few small scratches, but really clean for a 1998 bike, I was impressed when I saw it.

Welcome! Take some time getting accustomed to the torque, it may buck you off

Congrads, it won't stay stock for long. That's what i said when i got it. and then pipes and brakes started rolling in, and more small parts here and there....

APE cct's and a R/R are all you need to be sure the bike will last mechanically.. Any thing more is personal preference.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Really enjoying the hawk so far. Going to save my butt off for some pipes for it.
