Super Hawk is a cool name bro, honest

Change your user name to Super Hawk and leave the decals.

^^^ gotta agree. It makes you sound like an 80s action hero. Get a big Hawk embroidered on the back of your jacket too!

[stevo as b4]

Don't forget your ear plugs, or the sound of all your neighbours car alarms, but especially your fuel card or some body elses if possible!

Both names work for me, but yeah Super Hawk is cool, just like a Honda Hurricane is a much cooler sounding name than CBR600F!

Don't like the high level cans too much, and being carbon watch for them blowing apart which sometimes does happen to scabby old ones.

it is somewhat loud
is good though!

Jeez, can't you choose a user name that doesn't contain a bike name?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Everyone moans and groans about how thirsty these are. I personally didn't find it too much of a problem and thoroughly enjoyed the bike! I'm sure you will too.

Make sure the new cct's are manual and not automatic, as the automatic ones have a tendency to fail.
