In the late 80s, Honda introduced one of the first modern production naked motorcycles. Though the Honda NT650 (also known as the Hawk) was not a commercial success, it went on to inspire more prevalent motorcycles like the Suzuki SV650N, and has become an absolute cult favorite.
We could go on for a while about what makes the Hawk special – light weight, absolutely incredible handling, and it still looks good nearly 15 years later. Frank Wu, Chancellor/Dean of UC Hastings Law School and someone who I’ve been quite impressed with, has a wonderful write up on why he loves his Hawk GT here for the Huffington Post. I highly recommend the read, as he’s a smart guy who understands the joys that bikes can bring us.
This specific Honda Hawk NT650 has 9,985 miles and runs great. It just needs a battery and to be cleaned up a bit before it hits the streets again.
Find this Honda Hawk NT650 for sale here on Craigslist in Crystal Lake, Illinois for $3,000.
