Honda Hawk 11

Wednesday, 04 September 2024 07:15 PM The Honda Hawk 11, unveiled in Japan, is not expected to be released in global markets, including India, due to its non-compliance with Euro5 emission standards. This decision is significant as Euro5 is considered a global standard for new bike releases. I think this is a missed opportunity for Indian enthusiasts who are eager for unique motorcycles.

Thursday, 21 March 2024 06:03 AM Hondas Hawk 11 features a distinctive design, inspired by classic cafe racers and racer bikes, with a low-slung, partial front fairing and neo-retro aesthetics. The bike also incorporates components from other Honda models, such as the CB1000R and NT1100. This blend of old and new design elements is quite appealing.

Thursday, 14 March 2024 07:44 AM The Hawk 11 is powered by a 1,082cc parallel-twin engine, producing 100bhp at 7,500rpm and 104 Nm of torque at 6,250rpm. This powerful engine, however, is part of the reason the bike is not being released globally due to emission regulations. I believe the performance figures are impressive, but compliance is crucial.

Friday, 09 December 2022 09:24 AM Patent applications filed by Honda indicate that the Hawk 11 is currently intended for the Japanese market only. This has been confirmed through documents in the IP India Patent and Design Journal. It seems Indian riders will have to wait or look elsewhere for similar motorcycles.
