Freud, I have a magazine somewhere with a lot of info on the hawk effort.. sounds like Honda put quite a lot of effort into it.. but lost interest after the crash..

I wrote the story of B'ville for CYCLE MAGAZINE that year with absolutely no cooperation from Honda.
As I recall, Jon was a major influence in the design of the bike and he was also the driver. Honda approached it with their normal vigor and
when the accident happened it was devastating to them and their ego.
It had a pair of the new 750 engines with turbo charging. They should have had much more power than they needed for the speed that they
posted.

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

The Honda Hawk never ran again after that run.
They removed it from sight.

Do these qualify as old photos? It's a repop for the movie. Bert was smaller than Anthony Hopkins.
