I've had my hawk for about 4 years and really enjoy it. My wife really likes to ride, but 30 miles and her legs were hurting. Just bought a WeeStrom and now we can go on long rides and to be honest, it's easier around town. Now i'm thinking of turning the hawk into a track bike.

Took the running/riding FZR to New Jersey Motorsports park two weeks ago, all I can say is WOW, it's amazing riding a bike set up for the track, it handled soooo much better compared to my Hawk on stock suspension, I couldn't believe it. Can't wait for spring.....

definitely the way to go if you have the discretionary income. Since the horsepower is pretty close, the weight difference alone contributes to the much improved feel and allows the suspension to work more effectively. have fun.
