Freud, I have a magazine somewhere with a lot of info on the hawk effort.. sounds like Honda put quite a lot of effort into it.. but lost interest after the crash..

I wrote the story of B'ville for CYCLE  MAGAZINE that year with absolutely no cooperation from Honda.

As I recall, Jon was a major influence in the design of the bike and he was also the driver. Honda approached it with their normal vigor and

when the accident happened it was devastating to them and their ego.

It had a pair of the new 750 engines with turbo charging. They should have had much more power than they needed for the speed that they

posted.

Freud, I found it in Cycle Guide, I think 1972..

I think I may have another in maybe Custom Bike? a few years later..
Not sure how much they ran that..

Freud

The Honda Hawk never ran again after that run.

They removed it from sight.

Do these qualify as old photos?  It's a repop for the movie.  Bert was smaller than Anthony Hopkins.
