What kind of bike?
Anyone know what kind of bike was used or modelled for this series? I have no idea what it is, I'm guessing some Japanese sport bike of some sort.

This bike is similar to what Street Hawk looked like before its conversion. There was actually a total of 15 bikes made for the show and there were three different types of bikes that were used:
* A 1983 Honda XL500 was used to make the bike used in the pilot episode.
* 3 1984 Honda XR500's were used to make the bike during the series.
* 11 1984 Honda XCR250's were used to make the bikes for the stunt scenes during the series.
They used the 250's, because the 500s' engine wasn't powerful enough to DO the stunts!
