This bike has travelled 2000km over 2 years and has yet to put anything on the odometer. It is a good excuse to get together with my good friend straycat for lunch.

I know the photographer. The camera did all the work :smt005

You sold it so you could make room for something else

All bikes are fun, but for me the original engine is a snoozefest...but this here is what I like? The 1st is a RZ350 or Banshee conversion kit the 2nd us a Hawk GT a guy on the 350 side here is slowly building, I think you might like these.

There have also been a few RC30 esqe builds u so in that platform.
A former member here with two great RZs a 500 & a 350. Built a killer RC30 replica with a hawk.The nicest one I've ever viewed, as was his RZ350, his yellow 350 was as good as it gets.

It may be a snoozefest for some, but it is now a collectable bike sold in limited quantities and values are rising for unmolested versions. For some of us, that is important.

I wish we could have seen how that modified bike turned out following completion. It was very different from the usual hybrid and looked brilliant.

I wonder if anyone has used an RZ500 motor? It looks like it would be a good fit.

Are there different versions of the the Hawk nt650 or all they all the same?
