    Super hawk VTR 1000

    What class would one of these fall into? Friend has one for track only and we were wondering what class. It’s probably outdated and much better stuff out there but just to test the waters in the beginner / novice class.

    I would think it would be a bit of a stretch to make a good enough track bike since parts are getting hard to come by. They never made a lot of after market upgrades for them. Forks would be cheap as an SV but the rear shock...if you can still find one it will likely be pricey. The brakes are marginal at best. It really would benefit from a slipper and I don't recall it an easy option to find. Having owned one and spent $$ to set it up I'd suggest your frien look around for something else that is already setup and better suited for track duty. I loved mine but am very sure it made a better weekend sport tour than any upgrade that would have taken it to track readiness. I seem to recall a nice 07 Tuono for sale around here.
