If it had a clean title and was closer I'd buy it. The seat, tank, and exhaust are worth at least twice that, and as a whole it would make a fun project bike. Hawks are rare and awesome.

I mean even with the sprayed… everything, likely not having a title, and who knows what else, it’s in town and lots of posters here do plenty of tire pumping for the Hawk so I’m tempted. Forks and a radiator aren’t that expensive.

Making it look like a NICE Hawk, though, 🤷🏼‍♂️

Bad news!

Fuckin’ Facebook marketplace, ask a couple specific questions and get the “yes it’s available” response. But nah, no title, sat for three years. Like I know the average midwestern home could return some beer cans and afford this though.

Are these historically as cool as goldwings? Or a different kind of cool?

they get passed over. not really the target of cafe racer folks cause its not an inline four.

not the target of goldwing fans cause its not a boxter engine

they’re a weird no mans land. look up videos of them running. they have an odd sounding engine because of the v twin engine.

Dont let the *wing name fool you, they arent really related at all. The Silverwing is more of a factory cruiser, vs the goldwing being a factory touring bike.

You will however occasionally see Silverwings with full fairings on them, which makes them more goldwing-like.

All this being said, I like them, and the transverse V-twin is interesting and cool

Honda missed out on having other grades of -wing with longitudinal motors

A Platinumwing with a 6 that looks like an asterisk

An Iridiumwing with the world's tiniest radial

These are one of the only Honda bikes I would call genuinely bad. The ride like garbage and are awful to work on.

This is the main point, the silverwing (rebadged and tarted-up CX500, sometimes CX650) is a very high CoG bike and only two cylinders. Completely different motor characteristics and ride than a Goldwing with the flat four/six.

IMO Honda had the motor, knew they weren't going to move it forward, and was trying to make their money back on it so they released it in different (unsuccessful) forms. They're also known for stator issues with is a motor-out job.

This is your typical CX circa 2022, it's bad however I give it points for having a full size front fender and two mirrors. It looks like it gets ridden regularly. My bar for "custom" bike owners is very very low.

The routing of the left side brake line and whatever wire that is (aftermarket speedo pickup maybe?) is making my skin itchy.

This is like when my 12yo self found out they were making an ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR MOVIE and I thought there's no way you could combine two such wonderful things in a way that sucks and then avp actually came out and it looked roughly like that bike

This would be a good parts bike for the 2 or 3 people on the planet looking for a replacement motor for their EX650. I'd offer $300.

I see that wheelie bar and have fond dreams of a redneck with a case of Kirkland light falling rear end over tea kettle off the back the first time he sat on it before a light bulb went off and he scribbled on his hospital napkin a design that included the wheelie bar.
