No Reserve – 1988 Honda Hawk NT650

In Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

Honda was ahead of its time when it debuted the Hawk GT, also known as the NT650. It was one of the world’s first modern naked bikes but it was a commercial failure. Over the years, many riders have realized what the Hawk offered, and it’s become a cult classic. This one’s guaranteed to find a new home and the bidding is very low with less than a day to go so someone might get a steal!

Honda advertised the Hawk as “a thoughtful blend of European styling, American V-Twin muscle, and a Honda trademark – technological sophistication.” That makes sense nowadays in a world full of SV650s and Ducati Monsters, but when this bike was released American riders wanted power and they wanted fairings – a 600 Hurricane had 30 more horsepower and all the plastic bodywork one could want for just $400 more than the Hawk’s $3,598 MSRP. For more on the Hawk, check out this article on Canyon Chasers where they call it one of their favorite motorcycles of all time.

This example (VIN: JH2RC3103JM001207) has 14,535 miles. It features Two Brothers Racing equal length headers (ceramic coated by Jet-Hot), Two Brothers Racing carbon fiber muffler, and a battery tender. It was also repainted with some scratches in the paint, a dent in the front of the tank, and a missing center stand.
