Default Just got back into the Honda scene

Used to have a boosted teg before I got into Camaros. I just recently purchased an '88 Honda Hawk GT. It is in great condition and a blast to ride.
A quick photoshop my roommate did. Disregard Rick Astley. this is what I have in mind, although the frame will most likely wait until this winter.


Thanks for looking.

Love the bike! Those are sexy as hell! How many miles and, if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pick it up for?

pretty common thing to do. From what I've been told, all it involves is swapping out the sring and shock from another Honda. Which it is, I can't remember.

That's a pretty sweet bike. The rear tire looks kind of large. Is that 18" rim on the rear? I had a Yamaha Seca II with 18" rim on the rear and it kinda looked like that. Yes, the rear does look like it could use some lifting.

That custom fighter is insanely sweet. I think it looks better with the red tank than the flat black tank though.

The blue one from the OP is one of the nicest I've seen though. It looks like showroom condition.
