Found on the Philly C/L. Not mine not affiliated ect.
'88 Honda Hawk GT
I had one just like this in smoke grey. This one even looks like it has the same equal length exhaust that mine had. I wouldn't mind having another one someday, but today is not that day.
Hey n sperlo, here's your ride
Hey Sperlo, i want one of these really badly, and you'd want one too.
I have an idea.
We each pool in $750.
Then we fight to the death in hand to hand combat. Winner takes all. Winner gets the NT650.
Deal?
In reply to Swank Force One:
Dibs on your red MX-6 if this happens.
Awesome bikes. It won't last long at this price. The cult of the Hawk is still very strong.
My first reaction to NT650s at the prices people want for them is "get an SV650".
At that price, however... If it's as nice as it looks in the photos.
Yeah, most of the time they trade hands among fellow Cult-of-the-Hawk members at prices that don't make sense to outsiders. This is $100 more than I bought mine for over 10 years ago, so I'd consider this pretty much a bargain. And once my people find out about it, it's going to get snapped up.
I'm heavily armed. Game on. 8)
HappyAndy, can you deliver to St Louis?
Scratch that. I'm not used to the mobile browser. Wish that wear local, but if i could find one....
I hear good things about these bikes...whats the appeal?
An old skool bike with a new skool sport style blended in. Also has that crash cage. Really wish I had the money now. I'd be willing to have it shipped.
Ah, my first bike... It's torquey, well balanced, sporty, light, and easily upgraded.
If my wife didn't put the kibosh on 2 wheeled motorized vehicles, I'd still have mine...
What's with Honda and their evident philosphy of "Make something cool for three years only."
Three of my favorite Honda bikes are like this. VTR250, CB700s (Nighthawk), and NT650 Hawk.
I've owned two of them...acquired as basket cases, but never ridden them.
I'd love a Hawk 650.
In reply to ClemSparks: I think that Honda, and to a lesser degree Yamaha, are good at building great bikes that suffer from being either 1) Ahead of their time. 2) Misunderstood. 3) Appeal to an audience that is too small to be commercially successful.
Think of the Hawk GT, CB1, GB500, PCH800, and the Yamaha TDM850, GTS1000 (with the swingarm front end), and the SRX600.
