For you, I'd say stay away from the SuperHawk. I would buy it for me, but use my Ninja as primary bike. I can't really say anything about the SV unless I saw it and looked it over in person.

They're for sale now.
First off, I haven't been in the 5.0 section in a LONG time. Some of you may remember me, some may not. Some also may remember me posting up pictures of our property. Well, I got the call from my dad saying we have to sell.
Not only am I going to lose the place where I've called home for 20...
