Semi-double-cradle frame of the Honda Hawk 11 is supported at the front and back by a connected mono-shock and a Showa Big Piston fork.

With a comfortable seat height of 820mm, it hits the scales at 214kg.
India Patent and Price
Just over 4 months after the world premiere, on August 2nd, 2022, a patent application was filed. This could be a sign that a release is soon to come and Honda has set aside its interests for India. Alternately, Honda may have only casually filed for an Indian patent with the intention of eventually releasing it if there is a market for it. We would bet on the latter because Honda owns a number of Indian patents that were never implemented.
The Hawk 11 is available from Honda in Graphite Black and Pearl Hawks Eye Blue. 13,97,000 Japanese Yen has been set as the asking price (approximately Rs 8.44 lakh without taxes).
