Ya the 600's will run circles around the hawk...so
I've ridden them and honest to go they feel like im riding a kids atomic tricycle they're so tiny and nose down. Fun as hell for about 1 day. Each to his own. I'd like to have one in the stable but as funds are limited the only horse that can stay there is the perfect all around street bike. One thats at its best in the twisties, keeping up with the 600s without ever shifting a gear or touching the brake.
You shall soon hunger for the Vtwin >

Wow, another IL4 sportbike. yawn..... Next. :-)
OK, there's nothing like a cool new bike as most decisions come down to emotion and not pure logic. I've only had two new ones in 25+ years of riding so those were super special but, mark my words, a high hp but high rpm powerband ON THE STREET will wear off rather quickly.
TORQUE is a street riders ace in the hole.
Oh yeah, one more thing: Your riding a cheater (636cc's in a 600 class). LOL!

Forgive the rant. You just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Is the speedo on the 636 spot on? Because the SHawk's isn't.
Race bikes are fun, but with money for one bike, I like my v-twin. Besides, I'd get some 1000cc inline-four, and that's not a good idea...
