It's a 67 Superhawk- does anyone know much about these things?
I just really want a cool little classic bike to tool around the city on. I am pretty comfortable re-wiring, so that isn't really an issue. Just wanted to know your thoughts on whether this bike would be worth the fix up, and if parts were difficult to come by :dunno_white:

That is a great looking bike....especially for being 40 years old.

I'd hit it.  70's/80's = pimp bikes

It kind of makes me feel a little ill knowing that the 1980 CX500 I ride is considered "vintage"...

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was a story about '67 Super Hawk IIRC.

Cool bike.  And if you need to fix it, just read that book.
