The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The NT650 was designed by Toshiaki Kishi and was only the second model after the RC30 to be fitted with Honda's patented "Pro-Arm" single-sided rear swinging arm. Supplied with either 400cc or 600cc engines, it was named the 'Bros' in Japan because the two different engine displacement versions were conceived together as 'brothers', it was more excitingly known as the Hawk in other markets. A very well-specified and rare bike in the UK.

This 1988 model, being offered at 'no reserve', was bought by the vendor from BAT Motorcycles as a 'grey' import in 1999. Recent work includes the fitting of a 'Fuel' end can and a front and rear brake overhaul. Supplied in its original paint and chrome, included is an extensive paperwork file including numerous old MOTs and Tax Disc, lots of receipts, the original Honda tool kit and a current V5C. Please note, this bike has recently been returned to the UK from the vendors home in Portugal. The battery had to be removed to allow for transport so a new one will be needed before use.
