I've got a 305 Super Hawk on the road, third one I've owned since ... uh ... 1964.

My first street bike was a Hawk 400t, now I have a SuperHawk. Wanted to pick up a 305 at the Bettencourts auction but got the r5 instead.

Every time I walk into my cellar it crushes me a bit to see my 82 Hawk sitting in the corner, dis-mantled, likely to never be assembled as one again. Well, she was a great first bike!

'78 Hawk CB400T2 here, first bike. Dad still has it in his barn.

The engine configuration sprang from the earlier VT500F/C twins from the 1983-84 period. These engines were shaft-drive, SOHC, three-valve models, with 6 speed gearboxes. These light and efficient bikes were known for long-term reliability and low-maintenance needs. Rather than tool up a whole new engine for the Hawk GT, the already-EPA approved engine was simply stretched out to 647cc, using the original cylinder heads.

Hey howbout that!

I always knew my ol' shadow had a bit of sportbike blood in her.
