Superhawk Engine Mods

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!
