See you next week, when you're deciding between a VTX and a Goldwing.

Test rides, huh? Good luck trying to find anyone who's willing to let you ride their 600, while they're stuck with the Superhawk...!

Unhappy V-Twins

Is this the Superhawk V-Twin forum or the "I secretly lust after Inlines" forum?

oh I love my v-twin but I'm not blind to its weaknesses. I'm not too fond of doing much engine work to improve top end when really it'll net maybe 15hp tops and make the bottom end a lil less... I'll have major suspension upgrades (just waiting on my shock is all now) and really there's nothing more to do on it. If I get another bike the superchicken stays regardless. They don't sell well and I'm gonna lose out if I do sell. Specially since they're mega fun and it'll be a great track bike

Sv?!

I know that the SV may have better numbers, but i have seen so many of the same style. NO really good mods, and even if there were a ton of options...its still an SV.....no superhawk...i mean come on what other bike out there sounds this good and makes everyone turn their head. You know you have a great bike when childrens mothers are running to protect their offspring from the terror of a V-Twin with pipes!. I'm sorry but no other Half_fairing bike could ever come close to the Superhawk's beauty.

I say pitty the fool that has a silver SV....

It would be nice....

It would be great to have a new bike...especially for those long hauls when i have to stop 50 times more than my buddies. I just cannot part with my hawk yet. Its my first, and im not ready to have anything else. OHH but that Daytona 675!!!!!
