There's a 600 Hurricane on Kijiji for $2K. 1987 Honda CBR600 Hurricane F1 | Street, Cruisers & Choppers | Windsor Region | Kijiji

Windsor - too bad. That and the doofus graphics....

 

[bitzz]

The stock graphics weren't much better
Wasn't it called a "Jelly Bean"?

$5500 is a going price - sigh....

I genuinely find it interesting/surprising that some people have feelings for the Hurricane's aesthetics. Technology aside, it always came off to me as some kind of weird Tupperware bike. I am not saying it's wrong to like it, of course! And you know, I'm in the camp that likes the Rune and the DN-01, so

It was one of the first that had "body work". Lots of bikes before came with a race fairing, but the Jelly Bean had a all covering body... made from Tupperware

Honda Hurricane

Think Pacific Coast. PC800 I think they came out in the 80's.......

Or the Triumph "Bath Tub" from 1960

That bike is my teenager dream.
Some (rich) people buy it mostly because of speculation, very few buy it to ride it... It is sad to me and for the legacy of the bike...

I would insert images of the 1986 Suzuki Nuda concept but I am too tired to expend that kind of effort

Are we also doing fictional bikes?

Here's one from 1988:






And another one from 1982:

I lived in Guelph in the late 80's and watched one spend the winter outside uncovered. Broke my heart.

Honda made 2T Hurricanes too. We didn't get them in Canada.

OK, but can they fly?

Street and Raced these for 5 years. Nothing street legal has ever been the same. Don't get stuck in traffic, as they didn't come with a rad fan. My buddy had the wind knocked out of him from the gas tank raising so quickly when the power hit. LOL He never asked to ride it again.
