This sporty little naked bike called the Hawk GT NT650 was totally ahead of its time. It was one of the first modern naked bikes and is often described as a cult bike. Designed by Toshiaki Kishi, it was designated as model RC31. The bike was given a "Pro-Arm" suspension after the RC30 VFR750R. Many of you may compare this bike with the well-known Ducati. Ducati first introduced its first naked bike in 1993 called the Monster, which is still around today. In 1994, they released the Ducati 916. Not only did it have a single sided swingarm it also possessed a V-Twin engine. As you can see, this little bike paved the way!
