HONDACB 400T II Hawk 1979 - 1980

　　In 1980, Honda launched the CB400T II Hawk, a motorcycle part of the CB series known as the Dream in the UK and as the Hawk in the US. The bike was intended to be a successor to the CB360 and CB400F and had only two cylinders compared to its predecessor, which had four cylinders.

　　In the American market, the bike was called the Hawk and was marketed alongside the mechanically similar, more cruiser-inspired Honda CM400. Also, the bike was available in three different versions: the CB400TI Hawk I, CB400TII Hawk II, and the CB400A Hawk Hondamatic.

　　The Honda CB400TII Hawk was the sport model in the lineup with similar specifications as the UK model. The bike packed a single front disc brake with aluminum wheels, an instrument panel that included a tachometer and a speedometer, and an electric starter that supplemented the already available kick starter.

　　For suspension, the bike packed a telescopic fork on the front and dual EVO shock absorbers with five-way spring preload adjustability on the rear, while the stopping power was achieved by a 282 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the front wheel and a 153 mm drum unit on the rear wheel.

　　In the performance department, the 1980 Honda CB400TII Hawk had its soul brought to life by a 395cc four-stroke parallel twin air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 43 hp with a peak at 9,500 rpm and 33 Nm (24 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,000 rpm.
