Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 1989 Honda Hawk GT. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
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.
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 is VIN: JH2RC3106KM102405. The seller acquired it eighteen months ago “from a custom builder in Woodbridge, Virginia. He did all the cosmetic upgrades and build-out. He is a master at his craft.” During that time he’s covered roughly 1,500 miles. The seller states that this bike has approximately 13,500 miles, though the dash has been replaced.
Modifications:
KOSO dashboard, Honda CBR954RR forks.
Penske remote reservoir shock, Two Brothers carbon fiber exhaust with left side conversion.
4th generation Honda VFR rear rim with custom hub, CNC cut rear brake rotor, Michelin Pilot Power tires.
Rear seat cowl, aftermarket turn signals.
Bar end mirrors.
Cosmetic Blemishes:
The seller performed a recent tuneup: “cleaned out the carbs, replaced the fuel pump, rebuilt the front brake master cylinder.” He says that there are no known mechanical issues. “It runs like a beast, sounds awesome, and looks amazing!”
Currently located in Chantilly, Virginia (please make an appointment for an inspection), this Honda is offered on a clean Virginia title. The Michigan plate is not included and was only installed for test ride purposes. Have any Hawk stories or questions about this listing? Let us know in the “Comments” tab!
