Wow! How can one biker forum single-handedly have attracted all of the riders who don't actually "get" what riding is really about. I thought riders were part of a brotherhood (or sisterhood) of people who shared a common interest, not necessarily common opinions (wouldn't that make us oh so interesting).
When this guy said he is a "newbie", he meant to this site, not to bikes in general. I happen to know he has done some amazing things to bikes over the years and has spent more time behind the bars of a bike riding across this continent that most of us could ever dream of doing.
As for the value of the "Hawk", he actually never asked for anyone's opinion of it. He did ask for advice in a few specific areas from people who actually know something. ALL bikes can have value beyond what the market will pay for it to the person who owns it. I may love Hondas from the sixties and you may be all about big-bore, late model sport bikes. That's fine! We're allowed to each enjoy the thing we like for whatever reason we deem to be important to us!
How can one rider justify discouraging another from enjoying our sport? I sincerely hope this forum is made up of better people who are more dedicated riders than this!
