Figured I would finnaly post after veiwing website for almost a year. Still have nothing to offer website in the form of knowledge except my 05 SK is a blast to ride. This also is my first bike I have ridden or owned (I get alot of crap from my riding buddy for getting a 1000cc sport bike). I originally, was looking for a 599 but I just did not fit on it (6'2" 215lbs). I fell in love with the v twin sound and had to have the hawk. The funny thing about owning a Superhawk is everywhere I go someone either had one or knew somebody that had one. I constantly get compements about her. I will probbly get blasted for saying this but IMO learning to ride the hawk is easier than say a 600cc inline. Hawk has tons of torque so I can get lazy with my gear selection. Power is not abrupt like most smaller inline fours and you get engine braking. So far I have been to Deals twice, Blood Mountain once and I ride hwy60 and 64 to Blue Ridge all the time. Only mods done to the bike are Racetech spings in the front and a 5mil shim in the rear coilover (getting Pilot tires this week). I am going to Barber the 31st for my first trackday should be a blast is anyone else going? Will try and post a pic of her later.

P.S. passed a flat black naked Superhawk with red wheels and a standard handlebars in the back of a Ford truck Saturday in Chattanooga, was that someone that post here? If so great job on her.

 

Thanks for posting! You don't have to be a fountain of knowledge to hang out here! I'm a prime example You just gotta have a sense of humor and an appreciation for raw power! I would sooner walk as drive an inline 4. My kid's got a 600 inline. Cute little bike. Cute kid - but he's not so little anymore!

 

Doug,

I thought that was "your" bike now.
