High mileage, decent price, bone stock.
Record of all oil/filter changes.
Three owners. First one sold it when he was 84 to the second who then sold it to his wife. Then me.
The plan is to ride it for a while, then decide which one to sell.

Yikes! A red shiny thing. A bike with brakes and handling and power and reliable electrics and, and ...
Where have we gone wrong, Doug?

ps: Hope it also has some character. Congrats, and enjoy.

That's a heckova sidestand mount-support.
Dougie, how do you like the bike/ride/power/etc?

Is it a boy or a girl?

Looks like it will be fun for you Doug.
You sure put a lot of thought into it.

Is that a Honda version of an SV 650 ? It's so clean!!

I remember them from the 80's/90's; always thought they were a solid, put- gas- in- it & go bike. Much changed from the earlier versions.

Honda also had the "Tourist Trophy" 500cc which I still would like to have had.

I believe the Hawk preceded the SV. It's Honda's Duc, and a very fine motorcycle that didn't sell particularly well.

There's one near me:

Red 1990 Hawk GT with 24k miles.
Cult Classic 650cc V-Twin. Single Side swingarm.
The bike is in great condition. Never been dropped or raced.
Always serviced at a mechanic who specializes in Hawks. While here in Portland: Viscous Cycle.

This is a great light weight bike that is a lot of fun to ride around down or on day trips through the twistites.

Low seating position which is very comfortable for shorter riders.

Modifications: Braided Brake Line, F2 Handle Bars, mirrors

Clear Oregon title in hand.

Test rides only with motorcycle endorsement & cash in hand.

The V angle (52 degrees) and the offset crank pins create the same firing order as a 90 degree V-twin. Nice sound.
I'm hoping it is one of those bikes you never lose money on.
