As a StreetBike enthusiast, this bike is by far my favorite. With its torquey 90 degree v-twin, you better hold on for dear life when you twist the throttle. The SuperHawk was Honda's practical version of a Ducati 916. Honda took a $20,000 concept and turned into a economical, practical, yet thrilling motorcycle. Unlike its inline four-cylinder cousin, the CBR 1000RR, the SuperHawk (lovingly nicknamed the SuperCHICKEN) has an exhaust note, and engine lope that is recognizeable by motorcycle enthusiats everywhere. I have included a table of specifications for the 1998 Honda SuperHawk below.
