Last month, Honda unveiled a new car trailer, a coffee sports retro HAWK 11, which will be officially announced on March 19. In recent days, Honda has announced new developments, and the HAWK 11 has finally revealed its true identity! From the size of the left and right switches, it can be seen that the electronically controlled throttle (right-hand side) and a large number of switches (left-hand side) are used. You can imagine various modes switching and cruise control features.
The latest trailer video not only discloses the fairing of the entire front of the car, but also discloses the engine, frame, seats and other parts. The handle position doesn't seem to be that low, but the design of the rearview mirrors is more bizarre! The fork is inverted, and the front brake master cylinder is mounted on a separate handle, acting like a radial pump, probably supplied by Nissin.
The headlights are full LED, the upper lights are low beams, the low beams below are high beams, the U-shaped daytime running lights that look like DRLs are very delicate, the headlights look the same as the CB1000R, and the fairing area of the front of the car is also very large.
Regarding the engine, it can be said that new evidence has been obtained, it is equipped with a non-double side-by-side twin engine, which also seems to have no change from the non-double, and even retains the same front exhaust part. And the shape and frame of the rear half look similar to the non-double. It can't be said that it is exactly the same, but it should also be an adjusted non-twin frame with a similar steel cradle chassis design.
Around the seats and seat covers, stepped sports seat shapes and silver fairings were found, and judging by the seat shape, the riding posture did not seem to lean forward so intensely. The shape of the muffler's heat shield is very similar to that of the NT1100.
While the retro look is clearly co-sourced with Honda's "Neo Sports Café" line, Hawk will also fill a gap in the middle of Honda's sport bike line. There is still some time to go until the Osaka Motor Show in Japan on March 19, during which Honda should release a more complete new car preview again, and more news is expected to be exposed in the next preview, so stay tuned.
