Honda Nt650 Hawk Gt
The Honda Nt650 Hawk Gt has a top speed of 185 km/h, produces 52 hp and weighs 174 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
La Honda NT650 Hawk GT se presentó en 1988 y se fabricó hasta 1991, diseñada como un roadster deportivo con dos cilindros en V destinado a cerrar la brecha entre los cruceros y las motos deportivas. Presentaba un exclusivo motor bicilíndrico en V de 52 grados derivado de la serie VT, combinado con una suspensión trasera Pro-Link y un característico chasis de acero tipo enrejado que la diferenciaba visual y dinámicamente. Aunque en su época tuvo un rendimiento comercial inferior al esperado, desde entonces se ha ganado el culto de los aficionados, que aprecian su ligereza de manejo, su elevado par de torsión y su potencial estético tipo café racer.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Bulletproof V-Twin Engine
The 647cc 52-degree V-twin is renowned for exceptional reliability, often running well past 50,000 miles with basic maintenance. It shares its engine architecture with the Honda Bros, making parts relatively accessible.
Watch the Carburetors
The dual carburetors are notorious for gumming up from ethanol-blended fuel, especially on bikes that sat unused. Always inspect for smooth idle and ask about the last carb clean before buying.
Strong Cult Resale Value
The Hawk GT has a passionate following and limited production numbers (sold only 1988–1991 in the US), which keeps used prices surprisingly firm. Clean examples in good condition rarely lose value and can even appreciate.

Producción inicial: motor bicilíndrico en V de 647 cc, suspensión trasera Pro-Link, marco enrejado de acero, sin actualizaciones significativas a mitad del ciclo.
"Un gemelo infravalorado que recompensa a los ciclistas que realmente toman curvas."
El motor doble paralelo de 647 cc del Hawk GT arranca sin problemas desde las 3.500 rpm y alcanza una velocidad de alrededor de las 6.000, con un agradable ladrido mecánico que nunca se vuelve aburrido en una carrera de dos horas. Ese marco enrejado es la verdadera historia: conduce con una precisión que hace que las bicicletas cuesten el doble, y el asiento bajo de 775 mm significa que estás plantado, no posado. Lo más frustrante es en la carretera: 185 km/h es técnicamente posible, pero una ráfaga de viento superior a 140 es realmente agotadora sin carenado, y el orden de disparo de 360 grados produce una banda de vibración de unas 5.500 rpm que adormece las manos sobre losas largas. La disponibilidad de piezas es cada vez menor, y la sincronización de los carburadores requiere atención cada 8000 km, lo quieras o no.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"A rewarding cult classic that rewards patient, thorough buyers only."
$2,500-$5,500 usedThe Hawk GT is one of Honda's genuinely underappreciated machines, and the used market still hasn't fully woken up to that fact. The 647cc parallel twin punches above its displacement — it's torquey, tractable, and sounds genuinely good with an aftermarket can. Handling is the real story here though. That single-sided swingarm isn't just pretty; the chassis is legitimately sporty, and experienced riders will be surprised how eagerly it attacks corners for a 30-year-old budget buy. That said, go in with eyes open. These things are old now, and neglected examples are everywhere. Check the carburetors obsessively — they gum up and rebuilds eat time and money. Frame corrosion around the headstock is a known issue, so bring a flashlight. Parts availability is patchy; Honda stopped supporting much of this mechanically years ago, so you're hunting forums and eBay. Find a clean, documented example and you've got a cult classic. Find a rough one and you've bought a project.
