HONDACB400T III Hawk 1981 - 1982

　　The Honda CB400T was a motorcycle part of a range of machines manufactured by Honda, known as the Dream in the United Kingdom and as the Hawk in the United States. Also, Honda made available the CB250T, a version available in the UK for licensing reasons.

　　The Honda CB400T was the successor to the aging twin-cylinder CB360 model and the highly regarded but expensive for the 400cc class, the CB400F. The T model packed two cylinders less than its predecessor and was more than capable to compete with contemporary rivals.

　　In 1982, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB400T III Hawk, a naked machine part of the CB series in Honda's range of motorcycles and a reliable and durable bike suited for both commuting and touring.

　　The bike was built around a diamond-type frame that housed a telescopic fork on the front and dual EVO shock absorbers with five-way spring preload adjustability on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.

　　For braking purposes, the bike packed a single 282 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the front wheel and a 153 mm drum braking unit on the rear that offered optimum stopping power.

　　In addition, the bike came with standard features, such as cast aluminum wheels, a wide handlebar, a one-piece dual seat, a chromed dual exhaust system, an analog instrument panel, and a blacked-out steel frame.

　　In the power department, the 1982 Honda CB400T III 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 at 9,500 rpm and 33 Nm (24 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm.
