With each step, I feel like we're getting closer to a big CB twin and I'm all here for it. I'd love a 750 retro style bike with the NC engine and frunk.
You'll see Nighthawk 750s and 650s within this decade. Some of the Japan builders have dabbled in 70s Triumph/CB standards shape, but it seems the India companies are more sucessful at 70s: Triumph/RE/Honda India as there is a much bigger market there for the c1975 bike..
I'd have a guess that 80s styling will be their niche. This is an 80s retro of the Honda track inspired street that started that design line.
I like the way you think
That sounds like my dream bike
Since Honda is days away from revealing the new 750 Transalp then you can rest assured that same 750twin platform WILL be used tor the type model you have in mind ...maybe for 2024....Take Yamaha's CP2 700 platform they derive several models using the same motor including Tenere 700 ADV, the MT07, the Tracer7gt and dont foget the R7 sportbike! ....(probably a cruiser too for all I know....maybe even an XRS 700 retro? I also dont know?)
This bike's price will probably be closer to the Rebel's (10k) than the Africa Twin's. The AT has a lot more equipment and beefier suspensions and such, this will be a more simple street bike. It doesn't really have performance cred to charge $14k.
I was excited when I heard about his new honda being developed. Now after seeing it I still want to like it but the lines and shapes do not flow. I think it has some good design elements but the front and rear look like two different bike designs. The exhaust doesn’t do anything to compliment any lines of the bike. While I prefer the sound of twins I’d rather buy the cb1000r as it’s design is so much better.
Completely agree. Looks like 2 different bikes were split in half, and then combined.
That engine is in an adventure bike, a cruiser, a touring bike & soon a sport bike. If they put it in a standard style road bike like the Honda Hornet 919 I'd take a look.
Personal thought but I've always liked the older more round shaped sport bikes from the early 2000's over the new aggressive and angular bikes of today. Don't know if it's considered "retro" but whatever it is I approve.
The designer of this bike designed the Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 and 701 Aero Concepts, and you can see the influences in this bike.
For real? If so yea i can see it.
Vit/Svartpilen was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this bike. Not nearly as good looking as the two Arrows though. But really wish Qvarna had offered the top fairing from the Aero as an option.
Looks like he was on drugs. It looks like shit.
Triumph jumped on the Kawi Z900rs and Superveloce train. And Honda followed Triumph.
These are four different bikes but with the same classic TT styling.
Should have had a 4 cyl engine, wish the CB650r or CB1000r had that front cowl fairing option
I'm not normally a fan of Honda styling or even blue colored bikes... but the look of this Hawk 11 doesn't bug me at all 😎 .. But I drooled over the Speed Triple RR when it came out....
They read my mind. Nice bike.
New bits in attractive form ... that functions
I love the fact Honda is re-creating it’s classic’s it’s a modern day Super Hawk.
I agree about its appearance. Nice looking machine. I don't care for the mirror placement. But then, this is not my class of bike, so idc anymore so than that. lol I like the name, but then, it is a strong reminder to me of when I owned the 450 NightHawk. What a fantastic machine that was. Balanced, power band was great, comfortable and great curb appeal.
Love this bike, looks great. Also yes to the DCT, in fact I would like to see more DCT across the whole brand. My left hand is busted after a work accident, clutching in traffic is a pain for me. I get cramps and spasms when I hold or use the clutch for too long. I don't necessarily need a large displacement bike, that's why I think it would be great to see this transmission on smaller cc bikes in the future.
This Honda Hawk 11 are not ugly, they are is ultra, mega, giga ugly. Stupid overstyled. A motorbike in this class had 4 cylinders, look the beautyfil CB1100 Retro. Budgetbike with simple 2 cylinders engine from the stock. Brrrrr.
It's a new version of the nighthawk 650, I had 1 and that's the vibe I'm getting.
Sadly the reason not to expect a higher power version of this engine (which obviously Honda could very easily provide) is that manufacturers spend quite a lot getting a PLATFORM all certified for environmental rules so a niche version of a platform would not have the sales potential to warrant a seperate expensive version DANG IT! This bike would likely be so awesome with say 130hp or so! Which is totally doable with this displacement as evidenced in other brands
Cool bike. Honda is always willing to make something interesting, and if they can keep the price right I suspect this will sell like hotcakes. It's got a little Ducati Sport Classic upfront, nice engine, Honda reliability, what's not to love? As a rider of a HEAVY bike (K1200LT) I can tell you that heavy doesn't mean it won't take a curve. You just need a bit more faith in that itty bitty contact patch.
The mirror placement looks funky.
Neither fish nor fowl. So much going on. The colours from the front don't flow to the rear. The mirrors are begging to be replaced with bar end mirrors. Love the 1100 power plant, something styled closer to the CB1100 would have greater appeal.
Something about this thing calls to me. Looks fun. And given what tuning and exhaust can unlock, it could probably really move
It's a shame it doesn't have a single side swingarm like my 88 Hawk.
Interesting. Ya'll are right, very funky, retro but also futuristic. Wonder what the price will be.
Look how long the Navi was " forbidden fruit ". Most of us didn't even know it existed.
The nt1100 DCT I hear is about 13k US dollars. And that gets you a set of cases, but not a top box. So this bike should come in well under that.
4:30 Absolutely NO DCT... personally im bias but if anything make that POS an option. I hated the test ride on the AT that had it. ICk. I bought a V4S instead. LOL I know right.
You know they all have a non DCT version...
How the hell did they get a bike this stripped back with only a P2 to weight 520lbs?!?!?!
The grey rendering/photoshopped predicted image of the hawk 11 looked better than this actual blue bike.
Check out the Kawasaki cafe racer
Came here to make this comment. This Honda isn’t the first of the retro styled modern bikes.
Im not a retro bike guy. But i do like this because its both somehow. I like it.
maybe that fairing would look better on cb1100
Let's see if the come out with a Hawk 3&5.
I own an '88 blue Honda Hawk GT (NT 650) and I like to stare at it in my garage when I'm not riding it.
One thing the Hawk GT is over the Hawk 11 is that it weighs under 400 pounds, although it lacks the horse power of the Eleven. It also has a single sided swing arm. If I'm paying over $14000 for Honda Hawk, I would at least insist on a single sided swing arm. As it is the closest new bike on the market today that resembles the Hawk GT is the Suzuki SV-650, and I would consider buying a new one of these. It wouldn't be my first SV.
The original Honda Hawk GT 650 was a V-Twin. And it had a single sided swing arm.
Maybe, but the original Honda hawk was a parallel twin. I have a 1978 Honda hawk cb400
Very cool bike guys! I would think a USA version should be coming here. Or something with that motor.
I think over the years the Japanese motorcycle manufacture’s have been very good to us here in the states! After all, in Japan, cc limits, automatic transmission only and strict licensing regulations make it difficult for them to even ride the cool bikes we get here. 650cc I think is the limit. Back in the day we even saw some of the coolest inline four 400cc sport bikes come here. The development of some of those bikes were incredible. At that time 400cc’s was the limit in Japan. (1990’s)
mismatch of lines and parts. Looks like someone took the AT and made a customisation... The weirdest thing is this is coming from the cb4 interceptor concept and has broken it... That fairing should be added to the CB1100 Neo retro... no here on this frankenModel.
I think the new XSR900 will destroy it in performance easily and all around in terms of performance and features for the money, only thing it doesn't have is a fairing.
I love the Hawk, but won’t get in Australia 😞
Bring back funky fairing bikes!!! Windjammer and all
If this came to the US it would probably be between the rebel and Africa twin, so the XSR 900 would undercut it on price and overpower it on performance and tech. It will not be missed. Used SV650X if I am on a budget.
They haven't used the FT name in a while? I really liked my Nighthawk S with shaft drive. A nice café bike.
I have two 1984 Honda Nighthawk S, I have both colors blue and red, I love those bikes being air cooled and shaft drive.
@@repsol6198 I had a red one. I really liked its qualities too.
I owned an 86 Nighthawk S in red. Loved the bike and have been saying for years, if Honda made a 1000cc version with shaft drive, I’d buy it. Yamaha and Kawasaki have both made some nice retro inspired bikes. And Honda’s answer was dusting off plans from 1980 and giving us the reimagined CB1100. Honda’s not listening. It’s like Homer Simpson got a job on their design team.
Just gorgeous
Everything rear of the radiator reminds me of the NC750X
I love bikes with a little more style. Hopefully Honda brings it over here.
This new Hawk11 sounds familiar....alot like my NC 700. Great on gas which is important these days. Nice lookin too!
I want to see it in British racing green and a red..Not a fan of these blue and blacks
Bring back the CB1100 with that fairing.
If just they put that engine in roadster bike with dct option.. it would be a game winner period
... yep. Just look at triumph speed triple RR, or the mv agusta supervekoche... Even the x900rs "cafe".
Bring it!
I take one in a 700-750cc version. Deep Metallic Red.
Hope this comes to the US..
we neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it
It’s sad that all the manufacturers are each just using the same motor in multiple platforms and claiming a “new model.”
I’m sure this 1100cc twin is a fine motor, and I know they tune them differently for different applications, but it’s still boring and takes the excitement out of the industry.
For me, the motor is a big part of a bike’s soul. I don’t want to roll up next to a Rebel, an Africa Twin, and a NT1100 when they all have the same motor.
It's a move from the car industry, and actually can work out quite well if done correctly. Engine R&D can costs hundreds of millions of dollars, and motorcycles, especially in the US, don't sell enough to justify giving each bike its own engine. They're not just developing the engine, but also the manufacturing processes to mass produce it as well, so it only makes sense to try and use the same engine in as many different things as possible.
Personally I think the CB1000r motor would make much more sense in this platform, and the 1100 twin would probably work out better in a middleweight naked bike, especially if they could get it under 480lbs, though I guess the 650r is more their entry there.
What a bunch of roobs! Honda is flat out foolish not bringing this to the states. Just dumb. It would sell and correct me if I'm wrong but do they not make bikes to sell?
i like the looks.
GREAT NEWS FROM HONDA 🙂 !!!! i like it !
that has a touch of retro but mostly modern....i prefer real retro look with modern performance like the z900rs
Cool looking retro. 👍 That style retro without a 4 cyl, Ill pass.
I just wish they'd bring the NT1100 to North America. I don't know what they're waiting for.
They’ve already sold one of these in the U.S…. to me….if they ever bring it here…..please bring it here!!!!!
Looks like they gave up on designing the back half of the bike! Performance will be terrible. Way better looking and performing "retros" out there! Just different clothes added to an ordinary engine. Good on you Honda
SERIOUSLY?!!! Come one Ide love to have this bike! Why can we have it in the US 😩
Retro? Is something that looks like 80s at the earliest retro?
40 years ago... thats retro enough.
As an older guy retro means 60s-70s like an old Bonneville, 80s are too recent to be retro for me.
@@terryboyle 1989 was 32 years ago. So much like in cars being called classics after about 25 years, the motorcycles can be called retro if they look like something from 30+ years ago.
I hope it comes to USA
With the Hawk 11s current engine, power, and weight, it’s only comparable to the Speed Triple RR in looks. Performance wise, the Triumph is in another league.
It looks a lot like the mv Agusta supercelocie.
6:30 A direct competitor to the $21,000 177hp Speed Triple RR? 😂 I can't imagine being paid to be so clueless.
I haven't seen such a design ripoff in a while. The 1/2 fairing doesn't look like a Triumph as much as a prior Ducati; it's identical.
BMW must have sold a bunch of R9T racer....
Like a modern VF705F 1985
Triumph is on the high end of cost and performance. I would suspect the Hawk to be between $12 and $15k in the US but let’s face it, it won’t come here. We will get the 🐝 Hornet which is not retro at all. I just luv the Katana, XSR900, Z900RS cafe and also the Pricey Triumph. I had a Nighthawk S back in the 80’s so always a soft spot in my ♥️ heart for Honda. I really wanted the Interceptor and CB-F to be built but……kind of makes me sad that Honda USA is becoming a dirt bike and scooter 🛵 company.
Motorcycles will be a coming trend because of unbelievable gas price.
They need to bring that here. I will be the first in line to buy it if they do.
This bike was probably in design way before the Triumph. Both look Good , just flip a coin...
It seems like since old man Honda died that Honda just doesn't modern cycles and is stuck in the past
Looks like they gave up designing the rear and in-fill panels..
They should dust off the VTR1000 engines...
You meant most old school bikes are not water cooled !
I really hope that comes to the US
The Kawasaki Z900RS Cafe would be most comparable.
Mirrors, radiator cover protruding over the nosecone and back end are hideous. Nosecone, tank and seat are lovely
I want it
It sounds fantastic but the seating position looks way too aggressive and that front end is...out there. I hope they come out with a stubbier version.
Look for them used because that looks like the most uncomfortable bike ever by a major manufacturer.
i would prefered it naked roadster
Not a HAWK without a single sided rear swingarm?
Agree, this is overall a swing and a miss by Honda which is ironic considering they had their own bike to emulate. All they had to do is take a classic design and add minor design updates. The exhaust on this one is completely out of place, and I don't like all the sharp angles. And what's with the oddity of a front-fairing? I just saw an '88 Hawk recently, and compared to that, this bike just doesn't do it.
Much as this is outright theft of Triumph's design, I think I'd prefer this as the twin and a little road holding weight would probably make it a far better street bike.
Now maybe if Triumph puts the hip fairing on say a Speed Twin and gives is the nice paint job like the Triple RR rather than some boring all black BS.
I would buy the Triumph over the Honda, solely based on looks.
it doesn't look anything like a Triumph RR 😂😂
I find it odd that it weighs so much since the CB1000R is over 50lbs less despite having two more cylinders
Because it's based on an adventure bike. I wish they'd have built it around the CB1000r. I actually own one and couldn't be happier. I like the front of this 1100, but the chonky mismatched tail is a deal breaker for me.
@@samus4799 that's so weird. The Rebel 1100 is 487lbs, which is still alot, but I guess they brought over too much from the Africa Twin
@@Mudmoto_Marine Yeah, the frame from what i understand. In all seriousness an adventure bike has no business being that heavy either.
The Hawk 11 looks like an NC750 humped an 80’s prototype bike that was the idea of what future bikes would look like. I love cafe racers and cafe styling, but this ain’t it.
Hope it’s over 150 hp.
Not retro enough. Need's to look like an old 70s Honda CB.
Lets hope Honda decides to bring the model to the west.. Seems lately Honda have become increasingly boring.. The hawk looks the goods, even a little character there! Come on Honda, step up and start producing bikes with style and character again!
I think it kinda looks like a bad copy of Street Hawk
Kind of GPZ-like
It is called an engine!
Not a motor.
It is a waist.
Honda should get rid of the marketing department.
There not bring the NT1100, but the Hawk11.
Clowns.
retro is old and done with ..honda wayyyyyyy behind the curve ....now its 350-450 cc simple bikes wait R.E. is setting the market ..
524lbs?? What.
The squids will not buy this. Zero chance of it happening.
