Tomcat0403 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 We had a 2004 VTR100R Superhawk in the shop a few weeks ago and i think fell in love...I was curious as to who has ridden one and what they thought of it. This would be my second bike if i bought one and it would definitely be down the road if i got one. I just loved the comfort level and the v-twin power.

V4junkie Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Cool bikes, I think they got a bigger fuel tank in 2000. That upped the pitiful range. I really like them but I've never had the chance to ride one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Iron Pony had one last time I was in their. Red. Asking $2900 I believe. 2001. Don't know the mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat0403 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 The one that was at the shop was black with the gold wheels, looked pretty sick, but red is a color that i really can't pass up if given the choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socaln8tv Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 ive been riding a superhawk and a yamaha virago cruiser since may (i enjoy both styles). heavy bike thou. likely a bit much for my height or weight so not fair assessment from newbie and short gal. but, i luuuv it. its got loads of torque, fun on the windy roads. its red and its my lust and nemesis all at the same time. this is the bike that makes me want to do better and also makes me realize if i want to refine riding sport, ill need something like a ninja if i want both feet on the ground soundly. superhawks just arent made for lowering.

madcat6183 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Sorry man, I just saw this post.I started on a 99 with 26k miles, thing rode like a frigging champ. It was -1 +2 and just a monster on tourque but I still was able to hit well into the 150s on the straights. So the top end wasnt gone, trust me. I wish I would have kept it to be honest, it was a great bike and well worth what I paid.Not alot of aftermarket parts, but still a real good bike. And it had been down on both sides with only minimal damage. And nothing mechanically. I bet it still had alot of original parts too on it, which no one replaced.Overall I give the bike an A+, comfy ride, plenty of room for a passenger, and yet still enough to get into the twisties.Get it.

V4junkie Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I would also like to add that I think they are really pretty bikes. A bit understated (typical Honda), but exotic looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat0403 Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Thanks for the help, i guess the other question is, what would be comparable in price and performance? would it be a better deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4junkie Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 $$$$$As long as you aren't shooting for the 1050 model you won't be spending too much.For example:http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/1279082899.htmlThen again the I3 motor may not have the diversity from the I4 to necessitate a second bike. I still think the Honda is your best bet, especially because they're so cheap now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Thanks for the help, i guess the other question is, what would be comparable in price and performance? would it be a better deal?They are nice bikes, looked at one years ago but went for a TL1000R instead. I would say they are most comparable to a TL1000S.....but slower...Still love a V-twin though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy9743 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 i've got a 98 that is a blast! i had an f4, f4i and 1000rr before the hawk and this is my favorite bike. i'll never ride i-4 again. check out www.superhawkforum.com for more info. i geared down, remus chopped pipes, bmc race, VFR clipons and re-foamed my seat and i love it. sounds sick looks sick and is nasty with the tq. cheap to buy own and insure. common honda problmes R/R and CCT's other wise bomb proof.lmk if you have any other questions.andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonSix Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Compared to a CBR600RR, it is a different but very capable weapon. Think of Ducati sophistication with a Japanese price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Blake1221 has one. He loves it. I rode it and found it to be very comy (for a sport bike) and plenty fast and light (compared to the Vmax). Nice bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake1221 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I love mine!!!! great thru the twisties, comfortable, torque monster cant keep the front wheel down She has treated me well. Ins isnt bad for a 1000cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
