issues with getting a hawk
#32
I had over 5 years and 59,000 miles of fun on mine before totaling it last October. No real issues. Never ran hot, as such, but could roast the calves at a stoplight on a hot summer day. Not an issue once you get moving though.
Suspension upgrades would have been nice, but she was plenty capable on the numerous quick-paced mountain and backroad rides she took me on. Super-fun to throw hard into a turn and then stand her up & power out. Just don't get too greedy with the throttle leaned over, like I did a couple times, or she can run right out from under you.
The Super Hawk does require a positive shift into second, and it's not buttery-smooth like most of the current sportbike transmiissions, but again, plenty capable if you do it right.
