North American Model
The US model NT650, Hawk GT 647, RC31 was introduced in 1988 and produced through 1991. There are only very minor changes between the 1988 model year and the 1989-91 model years. In 1989, the front suspension damper rods were changed to have only two (rather than four for the 1988) holes. The front brake calipers were also changed to have screw-on covers over the mounting pins. In 1991, the oil lines were run internally through the engine, rather than externally and only a handful of 1991 model year bikes actually made it into the United States, making the 1991 the rarest vintage Hawk in America. The Canadian model was identical to the US model except for the colors.
