Not all Hawks, however, are created equally. While the most beautiful IMHO (it's just downright sexy) Honda Hawk is the NT650, my current bike is also a Hawk. I recently picked up a ratty 1982 CB450T Hawk - with the intent of restoring it this coming winter. It's a twin cylinder, standard-type (with some sporty lines). The only real interesting thing about it is that they were only produced in 1982. So, while your example might be the best Hawk, it's not the only one.

Alright, now I can join the club. I picked up an '89 Hawk with only 2800 miles on the odometer. First impressions: this thing handles like crazy. Also, even stock it's the most powerful bike i've ever ridden - it nearly pulled me off the first time i took off down the street on it.

I got interested in this bike due to its cult status on the net. sites such as HawkGT.com pass on tips and information on modifications. There's even a yearly meeting of Hawk riders from all over the east coast.
