| 1998 Superhawk A buddy is selling a 1998 Superhawk with 3600 miles on it for $2200! I feel like I am crazy to pass this up! Anyone have one? Any comments? |

| Re: 1998 Superhawk If nothing else, buy it and sell it for $4200, pocket the difference.
Has it ever been crashed or abused? Will he crate and ship to Houston, TX? |

| Re: 1998 Superhawk No title... I would have to apply for it and have that headache of trying to get it... Then it could only be a track bike which I don't really need. |

| Re: 1998 Superhawk No don't think so... I can always run the VIN# and see where the title is I guess. |

| Re: 1998 Superhawk I think the title issue will be the biggest issue. If all I needed was a track bike no biggie, but I'd rather have a superhawk for the street... oh well. |

If it was totalled thus no title AND you know that fine. However a visit from the police on a stolen bike (even a track bike) could be very expensive.

If it isn't stolen, like you said, track bike it is. Again, if I can't get a title, it does me no good as I would rather have it as a street bike  |

| Re: 1998 Superhawk Can you not apply for duplicate titles in NC?
Here, if you can prove the bike is yours (bill of sale, etc.), you can apply for a title. The DMV would then run a check on the vehicle and if it is clean, you have a title.
No different than the regular process of registering a vehicle, other than it takes a bit longer. |

| Re: 1998 Superhawk go for it, its a comfortable bike (except for me the reach to the bars was a bit far cause I have short arms and am overall short). I only rode my friends for a couple minutes but it was nice. I do love the engine sound too.

Might be able to swing it as a bday/xmas gift for myself but it is likely to be sold by then... |
