Thinking of getting a 2005 superhawk
 

Hi there I'm thinking of getting a superhawk and had a few questions.

1. How is it torque wise? Easy wheelies or something that will be hard to compared to my dirt bike
2. What's the top speed like
3. How's the gas mileage
4. How's it handle on corners my shadow sabre I have to slow down a lot due to the foot pegs scraping
5. Would it be too small for someone that is 6'2
6. Will I be able to keep up with my friends on there r6's and ninjas without falling too far behind like on my cruiser
Sorry for the questions and not using google just want some personal opinions on the bike

This is the bike I'm thinking of getting

It's a vtr1000 not sure of the difference between the Vfr and vtr

ha i just saw that on craigslist lol, in seattle.

Haha yeah saw it last night and it looks beautiful

he might be a member on here. Never know.

Small world didn't think I'd find another seattlelite so fast but I'm actually going to meet him tomorrow just wondering what I should expect out of a bike like this

Its seems like a nice bike, but thats just by the pictures. I emailed him trying to buy the lower fairing, but he rejected me lol. If you buy it, sell me the lower fairing lol.

Yea me Squid are both up here in Oak Harbor. We like to ride :)

I live out in mukilteo ride every day I'm moving to Tennessee at the end of summer though

well if you get it, we can all go ride sometime before you head out.

I'd be down. I rode deception pass the other day before the bridge collapsed on I-5 beautiful over there, also a big fan of highway 2 to Leavenworth.

#1 easy backward somersaults
#2 ~160
#3 1 highway, 0 city
#4 if you can two-step you can hustle this bike in the corners
#5 6.2 you should be ok, but it's a crotchrocket afterall
#6 you can keep up with all kinds of faster 'bikes', but you may have to work harder

#3 46+ interstate cruising 75 to 80. Easy commuting and back road riding 48+. On the throttle some 42 but I've been dealing with front brake chatter so haven't pushed it

What part of Tennessee? Im in Clarksville. As far as hight im 6*4 and cornering well ive been told by a coworker that I ride my bike sideways.. the oil cover looks rashed in that picture just give it a thorough look over and make sure it all works

1. How is it torque wise? Easy wheelies or something that will be hard to compared to my dirt bike

Harder than a dirt bike but easier than any streetbike you've ever ridden

2. What's the top speed like

155-ish

3. How's the gas mileage

awful. average 35 city/hiway and the tank is small

4. How's it handle on corners my shadow sabre I have to slow down a lot due to the foot pegs scraping

no elbow-dragging but as good as any big sportbike

5. Would it be too small for someone that is 6'2

Ha you'll be fine, and you can lower the pegs a little or raise the bars easily

6. Will I be able to keep up with my friends on there r6's and ninjas without falling too far behind like on my cruiser

Yes except for top speed. 40-120 you're right with them or better

Sorry for the questions and not using google just want some personal opinions on the bike

I'm 6'3 and the bike is comfortable to me.

I'm going to Chattanooga and yeah it has a little rash but it didn't appear to be leaking anything sounds good rode smooth I'm gonna pick it up from him in a few days


Thanks for the help everyone

Bout 3 hrs from here. Congrats on the bike!
