Searching... SH

Okay,
someone is checking out my hawk gt and I am 75% sure they are buying it- I decided i didn't want to have two bikes- but having zero bikes is a problem- looking for a clean superhawk w few upgrades ( I like stock bikes) for just south of $2500- I know there is one out there- i am in the philly area- oh and preferably Red.

Thanks.

Craig

Keep an eye on Craigslist. they pop up every once in a while. In the mean time, you won't be riding much up there anyway. take your time and you should be able to find a good deal.

https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ad.php?t=24311

but... i am waiting to see where it goes (ie. I am waiting for him to call back and continue the haggling process)

just hoping- and what really blows- is the brief time i spent riding the SH i liked it more than my Hawk GT- but don't tell the hawk GT people

For $3K I'll sell you my 1999VTR. Pics are in my gallery.

Spam follows - more info on request.

Cheers!

Philly is a good days drive from here. I dunno what to do to import a bike into the US.

1999 Black VTR1000F for sale.
Rides, runs & looks excellent
Original owner – Adult rider
996cc V-twin
125,000–ish KM
Racetech .8kg fork springs
Ohlins shock
Heli-Bars
SECDEM HP Windscreen
Custom made braided SS clutch & front brake lines. Grand Touring USA hand grips
Grip heaters
Napoleon Barend mirrors
LP tank bra
Sargent World Sport Saddle
Exhaust headers have been ceramic coated (looks like brushed aluminum)
V&H S4 slipons
APE Manual Cam Chain tensioners (installed at around 20,000km)
NWS Black plastic hugger
Taillocker (provides enough underseat storage for a full rainsuit)
Ventura Sportrack & Grabrail

The carbs have been jetted (Factory Stage 1) and currently have the stock idle jet, mains are 180 fr and 182 rr, needle is Factory with the clip in the middle slot, mixture screws set at 2.75 turns out. I am running the stock air filter.

Hydraulic fluids have been replaced every other year, with the latest replacement done spring 2007. Rads flushed and fresh coolant installed 2006. New HH sintered brake shoes were installed front & back spring 2007.

Valves were checked in the spring 2007. They are still within factory spec. They have never been shimmed.

PAIR system has been removed and discarded. I am still running the original regulator/rectifier. The battery is new.

I ran Valvoline dino oils exclusively....10W40 in spring & fall and 20W50 in the hot months. Oil was replaced every 3000km. Oil filter replaced every 3rd or 4th oil change.

I have the OEM windscreen, clipons, mirrors and seat. I have two sets of stock mufflers, one unmolested and one with the baffles removed. And I have a full set of V&H mid pipes and two extra V&H S4 slipons, one good, one with cosmetic damage. I have a factory shop manual. I have new OEM sprockets ready to go in the next time the chain is replaced. The current chain, a DID X-ring 530, has approximately 30,000km on it. Lubed every 500km, still in the green zone on the adjuster.

Bike is located in Almonte, Ontario, Canada (30 miles west of Ottawa)
