Honda VTR1000F Super Hawk

American Honda recently threw a coming out party for the all-new VTR1000F Super Hawk, inviting the U.S. moto-press to the bash. The event's backdrop was the picturesque wine country of Temecula, California, and its maze of gnarly, tight and twisting back roads proved the perfect venue to show off, as one Honda engineer put it, the Super Hawk's "lively personality." And lively it is, too. With the VTR, Honda feels they've "grabbed the essence of what Americans want in a big, sporting V-twin. The distinctive sound and feel that makes a V-twin seem alive." A spokesman for Honda's R&D department said their target for the Super Hawk was light weight, light steering, and strong low- to mid-range power and torque. Sound like a certain lusty Italian bike we know?
