Time to sell a hawk!

So after many years of having 2 superhawks Its time to let one go so I can replace it with a dirtbike to ride with my 5yr old son. I don't have garage space for both. It is actually emotionally moving since I have owned a VTR for many years. I did countless hours of work on it including a motor swap, CBR dash upgrade and cbr fuel float grafted into the tank. Anyway I am opting to keep the single sided bike with way less miles and Mario Nava bodywork & CBR1000 forks. I now have to graft the CBR dash, temp sender and float into that bike as well as a givi setup. May start with a monorack instead of the triple bagger which I rarely use these days. Yesterday I spooned a race takeoff Dunlop Q3 on the rear and put a 90 degree valve stem. Its really dumb but it is strange to sell a bike that's been with you so long. |
I regret selling every bike I spent a lot of time personalizing/modding. I always came down to available garage space and the reality of maintaining a fleet of bikes. But, buying a dirt bike to ride with your 5year is definitely the right reason to sell ... time to make some new memories.

Ah, I remember when I was a responsible parent.
Never sell a motorcycle or a gun. |
Yep, I agree, we do things for the kids all the time, I never regret these decisions.
Joe, definitely keep the one with the single sided swingarm. |
Hmmm, what's the asking price for either?
|
Hey Joe,
I lost count of how many times I sold a bike to do something with the kids. Sometimes I regretted it however the memories with the kids are irreplaceable . Keep the single sider and mod it for your use. |
Amen to never selling bikes or guns, sold a couple of bikes and hated it, never considered selling a gun

There might be other options

Well ya got 2 of em - I sold a old XR250R and bought my son a CRF100 - (it was like new & cheap - sold that for more $ 3 yrs later)
I used to MX with my son - he started riding at 6 on a Honda Fiddy (still have) - Joe go ride with your kid they grow fast. Mine is now 22 & on an R6 |
That one wt the SSS is a beast!
