i bought an 02 nighthawk 7 months ago. i love it. 13700+ miles so far and no problems. been up over 110 with no prob, i just didnt want to go any faster. its fast and agile. the black is stunning. i adjusted my rear suspension from the first position to the third and it really stuck the tire. the seat has been a bit mean at times but has been being nicer lately. it gets rode everyday, rain, sun, wind, whatever. it inhales the road smoothly, shifts easily and the standard riding position is excellent. gas mileage for me is around 45mpg, more if im nice, less if i race. oil/filter changes are simple. do they make anything else?? ;) ride up...
