Anyone have experience with the Honda Hawk GT (NT650). I have this thing for obscure, interesting bikes.

Friend of mine has a Hawk GT - his has been heavily massaged for track time - but is a BLAST to ride. Stock condition is still a fun bike - nimble and quick, and has that "V" thump. There was one posted in the past few days on Columbus Craigslist.

Hi, and Welcome. Whitehall here, with youngest son a rider, and wife getting license this spring.

Sorry for loss to families and fellow riders

Remember, especially for next few months - cooler temps of roads and tires reduce traction, as well as sand/salt residue on roadways. Cage drivers are NOT thinking about bikes this time of year either.

If they have them - Complete engine from Pick-N-Pull down on Groveport Rd. will usually be under $400 with a 30 day warranty (unless they changed warranty recently) Look for a stock suspension cherokee or grand cherokee that was T-Boned - hit in the side (odds are that it was running/being driven when wrecked) Note: the Cherokees are usually urban vehicles that see mild use as opposed to wranglers the get more offroad time.

I have to agree with Grapesmuggler and jporter: Bottom end bearing- continuing to running the engine can cause total failure of drivetrain if you are moving and engine locks up - can also wipe out whole engine beyond possibility of rebuild, transmission, u-joints and possibly rear end (that is what happened to me at 55 mph). That is a common engine also used in the Cherokees and Grand Cherokees. Good Luck
