interesting bike from Genuine Motorcycles

jjn · 11-10-2015, 01:27 PM

The article says the engine is made by Shineray. Looks pretty nice to me, and is a couple thousand dollars less than the Yamaha SR400.

Great looking bike. I really like the retro styling, and 400cc is a great size for all around street use including freeway commuting.

Huck369 · 11-10-2015, 03:36 PM

I like it!

They have a winner for sure.

I like that bike a lot.

It reminds me of my first motorcycle, a 1979 Honda CB400T. However, I like the single cylinder, and the Siemens fuel injection better on this motorcycle.

Spud, my first street bike was a 400 Hawk too....in blue

Since Genuine are designing bikes to be retro, I would like to see an old enduro style bike next. A 250 thumper. Low enough seat for beginners. Kind of like the same idea that CCW has been doing a few years now with their Heist, MIsfit, and Ace. Heck, if CCW built a retro enduro with their proprietary single, I would take it!

I borrowed that photo of the black, Hawk 400 from the internet.

However, my bike looked exactly like that one. I had a lot of fun on that Honda Hawk, and looking at this Genuine G400C brings back good memories.

My best friend from grade school, through high school, had a blue Honda 400 Hawk. He later sold it to his sister. He passed away about 5 years ago now.

Here is the 400 Hawk model that I liked best:

Genuine Scooter Co will offer a G400C small motorcycle in 2016.
Looks like Genuine has given up on producing a maxi scooter.
Unlike their scooters, it appears that the G400C will be built in mainland China, like the Mash Five Hundred.

Yes, that's a nice motorcycle.

There is another thread started on this topic at the following link.

I believe the Genuine 400 is a single with dual exhaust ports, like the Honda XR 400 and the old XL500. That's what they told me on the ModernBuddy forum.

Thanks for the link, Spud.
