VTR featured in "Me & My Bike"

The US Government agent who walks up and down my street 6 times a week, just dropped the July, 2011 issue of "Motorcyclist" magazine through the slot in my door.

Featured in the monthly "Me & My Bike" article is a 1999 Superhawk owned by a guy who works in the motorcycle industry. It still retains the basic look of a stock VTR1000F, but he's converted it into an adventure tourer of sorts, more suspension travel and ground clearance.

It's a very nice looking bike. Check it out if you get a chance... Page 50.

I haven't found the article but it sounds like he transformed a Superhawk into a Veradero.

I noticed that yesterday. He put XR forks/shock on it??? Not a fan of that direction but it's neat to see someone doing somethin' different w/ a hawk. Awesome that a VTR made Me and My Ride.

What can one do with a 'free' motorcycle.

Not my cup of meat, but applause for going off in a direction that I hadn't considered.
