CB400 Hawk?

Hi All

New here. I found a 1979 Honda CB400 Hawk for sale. I'm just wondering if this would make a good Cafe project? Bike is solid low miles and the price is right. The pictures look as if it could totally be a good project but looking for opinions. Any Pros and Cons to this model would be great.

Thanks for any help.

Ya the thing is this bike dosen't look like the Honda Hawks I've seen in the past. I wonder if it's been mislabeled by the seller?

Here's a link see what you all think.

link doesn't work for me (and probably the rest of us who don't live in canada).

It could be a baby Supersport - there was a cb400 that honda made that was just like their 79-82 cb750/900/1100 supersport - same paint colors and everything. Very rare in the states but kinda common in canada. Stock colors would be silver with blue stripes. More than once have I bought bodywork thinking it was DOHC cb750F stuff only to get it home and find it was just a wee too small.
