well I got my hawk out and have been riding as much as possible.  All i gotta say is WOW.  i am so glad i got this bike.  In the three days I have ridden I have easily put 150 miles on it bike.  Cold or not I'm down for a ride.  Even rode to work this morning and on my first break went for a 10 minute cruise and on lunch, easily a 45 min ride!! Feels nice getting rid of the winter blues

I agree. I just got the nighthawk out on saturday and went for a nice 4 hour ride, around 300km round trip. The time for fun and enjoyment has come.

I have now put 200 miles on my first bike! lol, and i love it, but i do need to get my mirrors fixed so i can properly see behind me...i had a cop tailing me and didnt know it untill he passed me.  I was pushing 80, and he passed me like i was sitting still so he musta had something more important going on...

Ive tried several set of mirrors on my 92 750, but I have yet to find the "perfect" set. I still see a lot of shoulder in em', but I got a small oval set that hang toward the grips a little bit more than stock, and they seem to work pretty well....I'll see if I can find where I ordered them and post the link for you.

well the only bad thing about that is look at my fairing and where the mirrors are mounted and located... they are a good idea but im just too wide at the shoulders, i just need to find something that will extend a few more inchs out...
