Superhawk Engine Mods

Canyon Runner · 06-01-2008, 12:23 AM

Ive got a 2000 Honda Superhawk it was my first real bike (the 88 kawi 250 dosent count) and i love it, ive had a 2001 CBR 929 (highsided=totaled) and recently bought a 2008 Yamaha R6, and i still cant bare to part with my baby...

ive got my eyes set on some body work from a guy named mario something or other, and ive talked to a shop about pulling more horsepower out of the engine, but i figured id get some ideas from fellow hawk enthusiasts.

Im not looking to make a drag bike or anything, but id like to make as much horsepower as possible without going too crazy like a turbo or nitrous, and im looking for suspension upgrades.

Priority is really the engine, how can i perk up this sleepy 99-110HP engine?
Im really willing to go all out with the motor, has anyone heard of any stroker kits? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Again!

CanyonRunner, go to Superhawk.com forum and search for HP mods. There's more than a few and those guys are happy to share knowledge

I think the crank is good for about 130 hp...you'll get that with high comp. pistons and hot cams. Porting and polishing the heads and new valves and stronger springs will help too...all it takes is money bro!

If you look at Ducatis ST2/3/4 line you would think that Jonda could come up with a new sport tourer overnight if they wanted. Not that the VTR is not readily available for this job, but for some segments of the market riding off the showroom floor with a budget torque monster with bags and good fairing is more appealing.
I also think that 80% of RC51 owners crave a VTRf and vice versa

I like the practicality of a Ducati ST, but not sporty enough for me. The VTRf is perfect, but the RC51 is too sporty...my 2 cents...

Well, in the time that my hawk has been sitting at home in california, i purchased an 07 Aprillia RSV 1000 R, its perfect for me! I love it! Still wanna bring some more pep to my hawk, but thats a side project that has been delayed for a while...

Go down a tooth on the front sproket, It'll give you the boost you are looking for!! It's an extremely cheap 5 min. mod that "feels" significant...
