    Honda NT650- light and low road bike

    An amazingly nifty and fun bike, with a seat height of only 77cm it's ideal for shortish riders. When you put your foot down the ground is there! And it's a breeze to maneouver at 184kg. It's a great confidence builder, taking me from a Virago 250 to happily riding a BMW RS1100. Handles brilliantly in the twisties and isn't the least bit buzzy. A comfortable ride so 4-500km in a day doesn't leave you bent like a paperclip.

    It's regarded as a cult bike which was ahead of its time (do a google on Honda Hawk - the US name as well as Bros) and of course being Honda you can't kill it with a brick.

    http://hawkworks.net is a good site to read up about this bike.

    This model is Japanese made, brought back with me from Queensland because it was so much fun to ride. In very good condition for it's age, 80% tyres and thoroughly reliable. Only for sale as I'm returning to real horse power. Will throw in an as new tail bag with bra fitting.

    thats a damn good deal (pity I can't afford another ), they are very nice bikes and feel way lighter than 184kg for round town riding. You're right bout them being ahead of their time, people are always surprised when i tell them mine is over 20 years old, looks bout 10.
