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

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.

#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

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
