HONDA CB400T III Hawk (1984-1985) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB400T was a middle-weight motorcycle 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.

In 1985, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda CB400T III Hawl, a motorcycle part of the CB series that didn't receive any significant changes over its production years.

The bike came fitted with standard features right from the factory, 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.

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.

In the braking department, the Hawk 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.

As for the power figures, the 1985 Honda CB400T III Hawk took its muscles from 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.
