Plus, come on, look at that gorgeous rear wheel, shown off to perfection by the equally rare (for a naked of that era) single-sided swingarm.
The Hawk GT is pure moto-jewelry, and Guth's blue beauty is an amazing example of the specimen. It even has upgraded suspension, brake lines, a Corbin seat with matching blue piping (although, truth be told, I usually hate Corbin seats), and new tires.
Overall, good luck finding a nicer example of a Hawk GT
The GT certainly is all of that.
When I came back to bikes in 1992 it was on an red 1989 Hawk GT that was a leftover and brand new.
I loved that bike and rode it all over eastern Canada and the eastern U.S.
I sold it to buy the CB900F that I still own, but I never bonded with the 900F as I did with the GT. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't.
