Honda Hawk 11 Updates

Thursday, 05 September 2024 12:45 AM 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 11:33 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 01:14 PM 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 02:54 PM 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.

Wednesday, 05 March 2025 04:23 AM The Honda Hawk 11 is set to launch in India on August 15, 2025, with an estimated price of Rs. 12 lakh. This motorcycle is expected to be a highly regarded model, known for its advanced technology and impressive performance. It will feature a 1082cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin motor engine, producing 100bhp and 104 Nm of torque. I think this bike will be a game-changer in the Indian market with its unique blend of power and style.

Tuesday, 25 February 2025 04:47 PM Honda has confirmed that the Hawk 11 will come equipped with a range of advanced features, including a TFT display, ride modes, and smartphone connectivity. This retro-modern cafe racer also boasts a powerful 1,100cc engine and a lightweight chassis, making it a thrilling ride for enthusiasts. The bikes design combines classic aesthetics with modern technology, which I believe will appeal to a wide range of riders.

Monday, 10 February 2025 11:55 AM The Honda Hawk 11 is expected to have a mileage of 20 kmpl, making it a balanced choice for both city and highway rides. The bike will feature a fuel tank capacity of 14 liters, which is adequate for various riding conditions. Its high-performance dual front discs braking system and superior suspension will ensure stability and handling. I think the fuel efficiency and braking system will be major selling points for this bike.

Monday, 20 January 2025 01:30 PM Hondas official statement highlights that the Hawk 11 was developed with the concept of providing new values and a fulfilling bike life to customers, mainly experienced riders. The bikes body package is designed for light driving and elegant styling, aiming to meet the diverse needs of riders who enjoy manipulating the bike in winding roads. I believe this focus on experienced riders will make the Hawk 11 a favorite among seasoned bikers.

Wednesday, 25 December 2024 01:19 AM The Hawk 11 shares its engine with the Honda Africa Twin, a 1084cc water-cooled parallel-twin motor producing 102 hp and 104 Nm of torque. This engine has proven capable in dual sport roles but is now being used in a pure sports bike platform for the first time. The bike also features a semi-double-cradle chassis and unique bodywork, including a retro bullet nose style fairing. I think the use of a proven engine will give buyers confidence in its performance.

Friday, 15 November 2024 01:31 AM Hondas Hawk 11 features clip-on style handlebars, inverted Showa forks, and a single mono-shock at the rear using Honda’s pro-link system. The bike also includes 3 riding modes, ABS as standard, and Honda’s selectable Torque Control to reduce rear wheel slip. These features are designed to provide a smooth and responsive riding experience. I believe these technical specifications will make the Hawk 11 a standout in its class.

Sunday, 20 October 2024 06:44 PM The Hawk 11s design is inspired by the Honda CB4 Interceptor concept from 2019, with a circular headlight surrounded by an LED running light strip and a fairing that merges into the fuel tank. The bikes fuel tank has a modern look, and the seat and tail unit are designed to be sleek and functional. I think the retro-modern design will be a major attraction for buyers looking for a unique bike.

Wednesday, 25 September 2024 05:39 PM Honda has announced that the Hawk 11 will be available in two color options: pearl hawk’s eye blue and a sinister graphite black and silver finish. The bike is expected to weigh 214 kg and have a low seat height of 820mm, making it accessible to a wider range of riders. I believe the color options and ergonomic design will make this bike appealing to a broad audience.

Thursday, 15 August 2024 06:31 PM The Hawk 11 is part of Hondas Neo-Sports segment, which aims to blend modern technology with retro aesthetics. The bikes release marks the return of the Hawk name to Hondas range, although it has little in common with the original Hawk GT from 1988. I think this new direction will help Honda attract a new generation of riders.

Saturday, 19 March 2022 08:37 AM Honda initially unveiled the Hawk 11 at the Osaka Motorcycle Show in 2022, showcasing its unique blend of classic cafe racer aesthetics and modern engineering. The bikes teaser image revealed a fairing and circular headlight similar to the CB4 Interceptor concept. I believe the anticipation built up since its first reveal will make its launch highly anticipated.

Saturday, 25 January 2025 12:27 PM Despite Honda filing patents in India, the Hawk 11 is officially still a Japan-only model as of late 2024. One reason is the bike’s 1082cc engine doesn’t meet Euro5 emissions standards, complicating wider global releases. I believe Honda will either update the bike for Indian regulations or launch a slightly tuned version tailored for India’s market.

Tuesday, 10 December 2024 01:11 AM Recent reports say Honda is planning to replace the CB1100 in Japan with the Hawk 11, which uses the CRF1100L parallel-twin engine shared with the Africa Twin and Rebel 1100. The new Hawk 11 blends a vintage look with modern performance, registered recently with the Japanese Patent Office. I feel this engine combination will give the Hawk 11 a strong character and versatility for Indian riders when it arrives.

Tuesday, 10 December 2024 04:00 AM Rumors from Japanese sources in late 2024 suggest the Hawk 11 will borrow design and frame elements from the current Rebel 1100, creating a classic yet modern bike fitted with a sporty 1100cc parallel-twin engine. I think this approach balances nostalgia and cutting-edge engineering well, which could resonate with Indian buyers looking for style and performance.

Sunday, 29 September 2024 02:49 PM Honda might launch the Hawk 11 in India soon, as Honda filed a design patent application with Intellectual Property India in August 2022. The neo-retro Hawk 11 has a 1083cc parallel-twin engine producing around 100hp, offering sporty yet comfortable ergonomics. I think this bike could really attract fans craving a unique, classic-style bike that’s also modern and powerful.

Thursday, 15 August 2024 01:35 AM Though the Hawk 11 has been popular overseas tech-wise, Honda has not confirmed a launch timeline for India, keeping fans guessing. If it launches, I expect it to compete well against other neo-retro models like the Royal Enfield 650 twins. I personally believe the Hawk 11 could redefine the premium retro segment in India with its Japanese engineering pedigree.

Thursday, 29 September 2022 10:06 AM The 2022 Honda Hawk 11 features modern tech like three riding modes, ABS, and Honda’s selectable torque control to reduce rear wheel slip, plus inverted Showa forks and pro-link rear suspension. Its low 820mm seat height could appeal to shorter riders, which is a smart move for India’s diverse rider base. I think these specs make it a great all-rounder for city and highway riding.

Thursday, 29 September 2022 06:36 AM Honda priced the Hawk 11 in Japan at around 1,397,000 yen , and it comes in blue or graphite black/silver colors. The bike weighs 214 kg, making it manageable but still offering strong road presence. If launched in India at a competitive price, it could attract enthusiasts wanting something premium yet retro-styled.

Thursday, 29 September 2022 10:49 AM Honda has teamed up with Japanese aftermarket brands like Moriwaki and Daytona to offer tailor-made accessories for the Hawk 11, enhancing its customization options. This could be a hit in India where customization culture is growing. I feel letting riders personalize the bike extensively will boost its appeal in Indian urban markets.

Thursday, 29 September 2022 07:48 AM The Hawk 11 carries a large single inverted LCD gauge with retro-style graphics that blend old-school looks with modern clarity. It also has clip-on style handlebars for a sportier riding stance without sacrificing comfort. I think this gauge design will be appreciated by Indian riders who want vintage flair with digital convenience.
