In 1981, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB250 Super Hawk, a standard motorcycle manufactured from 1978 to 1985 and part of the CB series of Honda motorcycles that included models of different displacements.

Like the previous model, the 1981 Super Hawk was a reliable and easy-to-ride machine that packed standard features, such as a wide handlebar, an analog instrument panel, a one-piece-dual seat, a chromed dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, a round headlight with a chromed ring, a black-finished steel frame, and cast aluminum wheels.

The model was built around a tubular steel frame that housed a telescopic fork on the front with 115 mm of wheel travel and dual shock absorbers on the rear with 65 mm of wheel travel that provided optimum suspension performance.

In the braking department, the bike packed a 273 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the front wheel and a 160 mm drum braking unit on the rear that offered strong braking performance.

As for the power figures, the 1981 Honda CB250 Super Hawk had its heartbeat set by a 249cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled powerplant fed by two Keihin carburetors that helped deliver an output power of 27 hp with maximum strength at 10,000 rpm and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,500 rpm.
