Honda's hot new motorcycle, the HAWK 11, will be released by Honda Dream on Thursday, September 29 for 1,397,000 yen in Japan.
Hawk 11 Product Overview
The Hawk 11 is a large sportbike for Japan, a new offering for experienced riders.
The engine is a parallel twin-cylinder 1082cc unit with a 6-speed manual transmission. In addition to a wide range of usable torque from low speeds and smooth-revving characteristics up to high rpm, the engine is equipped with electronic controls such as throttle-by-wire that contributes to direct response and a riding mode that allows the driver to select output characteristics according to driving conditions and personal preferences.
The vehicle body is a semi-double-cradle frame with front and rear 17-inch wheels, and a forward-leaning riding position with separate handlebars to create a dimension that makes winding riding enjoyable.
The styling features a one-piece molded FRP rocket cowl. The design is based on the intersection of horizontal lines spanning the front and rear of the body and vertical lines separating the tank and seat, creating a style-oriented finish not seen on previous Honda models.
Two-color variations are available: pearl hawke's eye blue and graphite black (pictured).
