Well, that didn’t take long. Speculation about a new offering from Honda sporting the same 1,084cc parallel twin found in the Africa Twin and Rebel 1100 has been rampant. Japanese magazine Young Machine (which we aren’t totally convinced isn’t a front for Honda’s design team) even published some speculative renders of what the new bike could look like earlier in February, 2022.
Fast-forward to Friday, February 25, 2022, and Honda just made its existence official by dropping this teaser image of the upcoming Hawk 11. It’s set to premiere worldwide at the 2022 Osaka Motorcycle Show, which runs from March 19 through 21. Team Red also released a short, 25-second teaser video for the Hawk 11 exclusively on one of its Japanese-language websites. It plans to release a second teaser video sometime between now and March 19, as well.
