Year by year difference

sheepofblue · 01-12-2005, 9:05 PM

Does anyone have a good website that specify the feature differences between years?

Thanks

00-01 SP1

00 Had spool mounts
01 for some reason didnt

02-Current SP2

02 Brought back the spool mounts, taller screen, tweaked motor, different swing arm setup (slightly longer), tweaked forks?

Look through the RC forum there were a few discussions about the differences you lazy sheep

So no big suspension mods (like inverted forks after a period) or lighter, faster etc. ?

In other words are there any points at which one year would be a better start point for a track bike.

Baseline no mods SP2.. I saw some good price 02's here and there.

I dont know about loosing weight... if they did sure it wasnt that big a deal

Forks were always inverted

I know they did some engine work for the SP2 but honestly I dont remember what it was

I thought sheep was talking about the "year by year" difference in "sheep years"... In his case, daily.

SP2 has a different swingarm as well, I think.

Sounds like other than the '01 missing spools the difference is find a good deal

Also where does the Hawk set on the scale?

Find a good deal and mod it from there

You could always purchase my son's RC. It's well kept and, well, he won't be needing it much longer.....

If there are, I have a pair of Velcro mittens I'd like to put to good use.

Uh, that avatar is copyrighted, btw.

About the same weight as the RC. Whether it's more or less is fairly moot. The RC spins up the motor faster and farther, so there's more power longer. Also the RC turns much faster than the `hawk. Body position is pretty different between the two. Riding my `hawk now feels like sitting 'in' it vs. 'on and over it' with the RC.

FWIW, the RC and the SuperHawk both make about the same torque numbers. Just the RC makes more horsies because of the longer rpm range. My `hawk feels like it's about to rattle itself apart >= 8K on the tach.

Might help out a bit with whatever decision you're making (get the RC).

Thanks, I was leaning that way and the info leaned me more. Now it is funding

get the SP2, newer swingarm, slightly longer wheelbase=better on track performance

since it don't say whats on it I will: Mig High mounts with peg relocaters, vortex rear sets red hugger, undertail (I think with tail lights), Dubble Bubble ZG screen, flush mount front signals.

Bacchus · 01-12-2005, 11:39 PM

Rather pricey ain't it, CBR?

Nice but I want a banged 4-5K when I get the $$$ after all if I am going to add exhaust and plastic

Still thinking but starting to get serious. Of course there is always find a 600 for a yr maybe 2 and race old man's class and track days.
