As we all know, Honda's air-cooled inline four-cylinder architecture of the HONDA CB1100 is about to leave, it is affected by increasingly stringent environmental emission regulations, and it is bidding farewell to everyone in the final version of the Final Edition, and its successor has not yet appeared. However, the recent news from Japan has aroused the interest of many people, it is said that Honda will launch a retro model on the basis of "non-double", to replace the departed Honda CB1100, and there are already renderings, you can refer to it.
In recent years, Honda has been launching models derived from the "non-dual" platform, such as the REBEL 1100 and NT1100, and the latest news indicates that Honda is preparing to use this twin-cylinder platform again to create a new generation of Honda Hawk, or HAWK 1100 for short. In contrast to the Neo Sports Cafe style, which is now popular in Honda's CB series street cars, the HAWK 1100 in the expected picture uses the design language of Cafe Racer, especially the bullet-shaped hood, which makes this car full of retro taste.
The 1084cc displacement twin-cylinder water-cooled engine derived from the "non-double" may be the place where this car has a big controversy, after all, this is a retro-style model, if the two-cylinder water-cooled engine is replaced by the traditional four-cylinder air-cooled engine, it is indeed a bit far-fetched, but Honda is currently facing this embarrassment.
Of course, in order to be as close to the retro style as possible, this car will still make some preparations, such as the same double gun rear shock as the Rebel 1100, such as the retro coffee flavor of the split handlebar and so on. At present, the news about the HAWK 1100 has not received an official response from Honda, but japanese media have said that the two-cylinder street car is only a matter of time.
