Don't know that I could trade in my Husky on one though, I'm too much of a hooligan at times... 
How long before you chop the tail and buy some sliders? |

It's a pure blast!!! The motor is awesome, pulls at all rpms. It's really comfortable, I've already put about 200 miles on it.

I nearly ended up with one, but I try to stay away from first year models as they can be buggy. If your throttle is snatchy, check your throttle cable tension, as well as the TPS. I've read the TPS is misaligned from the factory. Safe riding! |

I'd really like to have one of these for commuting and shorter weekend trips. When I sat on one a couple months ago I was surprised at how comfortable it was. |

Last May I bought this hot mess of a 1988 Hawk GT for $300. Leaking fork seals, broken plastics, shredded seat and what wasn't corroded was caked in grease. But, it ran.
By late summer I had stripped it down to a pile of parts in the garage. In September it was back to being a roller: 
This past weekend I got the last of the major work done and got it licensed and register. Here she is after a nice shakedown ride on the local twisties. I am really loving the bike!

Start saving for good gear, you and Meaty tease about chaps but full protective gear should be a top priority for any new rider, I had the safety net of riding on base for six months before venturing out into the wild, and when I did I had two other bikes riding along too. More bikes in a group is more visibility, visibility and awareness is life. |
