Newby here from MN
Hey guys, I am very close to trading my Buell for a superhawk. I was on a ride sat. 267 miles and I have noticed the Buell is heavy, Noisy, slow to rev, and uncomfortable. Looking at trading for a 98 superhawk, mostly stock, carb mods, Jardine high mounts, double bubble, and 3/4 " bar risers. I have wanted a superhawk for a long time. We are doing the trade next Tues. I have to go to southern wi to pick it up. I cant wait. george

there are quite a few MN superhawk riders and fans as well. You will love the bike. saw some nice ones recently on MSP craigslist also but sounds like you have a great trade worked out.

Actually the word is "newbie", but since you're a newbie you're excused.

I'd keep the Buell, switch to a cheaper beer, save some money and buy a VTR as well. That's just me.
