Says you won't find better but I can see flacking paint on the engine case. Says UK bike but it's got a KM clock, It looks like an F2 by the clocks, handle bars and reg plate being an 03, but it has superhawk on the side, Superhawk was USA version and don't think they had the F2 model, also USA is MPH.

An offer on the price could make it reasonable buy but it doesn't look like what the seller is saying it is.


**not sure if Superhawk was used in other countries, if it was then possible it's a legitimate import.

IIRC, only the 2005s sold in Canada were Superhawks, all previous years were Firestorms...

iirc the usa never got a 19ltr fuel tank, was Canada the same, the bikes cheap enough, but how can you prove it's genuine

Something dodgy going on there as the original link was Varadero in Cyprus police colours.
