ahh my first post the reason I joined................As my bike sits at the side of the house awaiting a backordered gasket from my local crappy honda dealer.I joined up just to answer your question.Ive been looking at my VIN# for yearsThe bike was made 10/97 its an 98 model the last six digits are what counts.Mine are 000518.The first two are the model run..00=1998 up to 80=2006 the last four are order made.Theres another site where you can register by VIN# The 1998-00-bikes end at 8008 the 1999-10-ends at 4727....2000-20-ends at 3481....30-2247.....40-872....50-1029.....60-1021.....70-381....80-134..... So having used all my brain power up Im going too round up and squint my eyes and say 22,497 Super hawks were made.Theres no way it could be 450,000 Thats crazy talk,that would mean 20 million CBR600's Any ways thats my guess and you can quote me on it (all disclaimers apply)..............

Low VIN
Mine is 00028 with mfg date of 12/04. I bought it new in August 05 and they were so unpopular my dealer wouldn't even get one for me to look at until I paid a $500 deposit. I went to another dealer to sit on one and check the ergos before giving my deposit, it was 00022.

You Superhawks guys don't have a VIN number count down to gauge the number of US Superhawks?
Someone should make a thread to find the highest numbers out of each year.
From what we have gathered on the Hawk GT forum is that there were about 4500-5500 US models in total produced (very low number for the big three manufacturers)

This a grand topic.. I have the 2001, vin# 000249, And just by chance, I went to look at a Basket case S-hawk.. All of the bike was there / in the original owner's possession.. production date 2/97 vin#000249. The poor dear was in parts, and is now being put back to orginal..
I have pictures, can't get the set loaded on the forum..
