Hey, I´m the proud owner of my 1999 VTR1000F Superhawk. I´ve commuted on the bike, I´ve done Sundays on the bike. There hasn´t been one problem to list. All the maintenance has been performed. This is one of the greatest and most underrated superbikes out. It can keep up with the most powerful superbikes of today. No complaits, except from the riders whom get smoked. The deep throaty v-twin is pure power in all the rev ranges. Watch out, that front wheel is too easy to loft. Pure enjoyment, a looker, I don´t recommend for a beginner. It´s got 14k on the ticker and runs better and smoother than when I bought it.
