You two make me sad. Stretched bikes make baby Jesus cry.
Everytime you stretch a bike, you are killing a kitten.

I like to consider them more of a Super Sport Touring bike than a Sportbike. They make AWESOME touring machines, and don't have the ride of handling characteristics of a typical sportbike; not saying they handle bad by any means, just arent AS responsive. I see several Busa's up here (including the one at the shop) owned by older men who use them for touring machines.
looooooool
I used to HATE stretched bikes.. but at least it usually means someone did their own thing to a bike, and at least I can give a +1 to ppl who mod it and make it their own..
..but you'll never catch me with one!..
ALSO - Cannot wait to post up my new bike, you won't be able to guess it but i'll get a pic up after I clean it today after work!
(clues: v-twin. naked. clip ons.)
w00t!
^^ On the right track!
Well, got it cleaned up but forgot the camera, so I'm just gonna post of the previous owner's pics
Honda Hawk GT (NT650)
- 650cc Twin
- Single sided swing-arm
- Aluminum perimeter frame
- Same age as I am (1988)!
The clip-ons are not the factory ones, but they did come with factory clips ons that have more of a rise to them. I'm getting those back on as well as the stock mirrors. Bar end mirrors just don't work too well for me.
The bike's also got CBR F2 gen. front forks for adjustability and CBR900RR rear clicker shock. Rides great! Very agile and thin, small. 370 lbs dry and close to 400 wet.
Wheels were powder coated black which w/e lol.. A bike wayyy ahead of it's time - first production bike w/a Single-sided swing and got raced like mad back in the day.
ONTO PICS -
Thanks code! I know right? Ever since I first saw them I've just been fascinated lol.. All Honda bikes from the late 80's early 90's I think are just AMAZING:
- CB-1
- the hawk of course lol
- NX250
- nsr 50
- VTR 250 - This thing is awesome, 250 faired tiny little street bike! Perfect competition for the old 250 ninja AND it had an "in-board" front rotor that was inside the spokes of the wheel! crazy stuff Honda was doin at this time..
- VFR 750
I'm just a sucker for these generation of bikes.. idk why!
But yea, gotta get up to one of your weekend rides sometime!
Vary nice Hawk
Man that black and blue bike looks really good.
You do realize the new 1340 Busa's can dip into the 9's with just slip on's and a PC don't you? They are insane bikes, and I've NEVER seen a 10R turn those numbers stock.
A new Busa wet weight is right around 543lbs, a dry 2007 ZX-10R is near 410. The ZX10R puts around 155whp stock, the Busa we have at the shop dynoed at 202whp bone stock. Once you figure up they are the absolute most chocked up stock bike built and by changing out the exhaust to most aftermarket single can setups drop around 22lbs on them you begin to see a big difference in power to weight ratio.
Really dirty in the pic, still need to wash it. Shortened the Yoshimura. Ordering some stuff this weekend, pics once they're in and installed.
