Honda Hawk 400 Motorcycle - Street (1978-1981)

The Honda Hawk 400 series, encompassing the CB400T and CM400 models, was produced from 1978 to 1981. These motorcycles were powered by a 395 cc air-cooled, parallel-twin engine, featuring a Single Overhead Camshaft (SOHC) design with three valves per cylinder. This engine incorporated a 360° crank layout with counter-rotating balance-shafts to minimize vibrations, and a CDI ignition system. The lineup offered a range of specifications and trims to suit various riding styles. Throughout this period, the Hawk 400 series underwent several significant developments. In 1979, the CM400 series was introduced, offering a more cruiser-oriented style. By 1980, smaller carburetors were adopted to meet emissions standards, and a 6-speed transmission appeared on some Hawk models, replacing the 5-speed. The 1981 model year brought notable chassis enhancements, including a wider front wheel, air fork, dual-piston front brake calipers, and the introduction of the Super Hawk III with innovative styling.
