Those Super Hawks sure we're nice in the late sixties.
I had a Honda 160 and it seemed like a toy next to my friend's Super Hawk.


Those Hondas were terrific, especially in comparison to the smaller
British bikes, which were much less reliable and as everyone knows leaked oil.

Like a Harley, they did not leak oil, they marked their spot. My first
bike was a Moped frame with a Triumph Cub 125 cc engine. Was a ill
handling rocket. Last bike was a 350 Kawasaki rotary valve baby brother to
the H1. Another rocket, that handled a little better. Rotary valve came
apart and engine broke. Even split one barrel. Wife was happy, very happy
when bike was not repairable cost wise. She stated you never fell off your
racecar.
