A cousin to the Hawk GT (NT650), the NTV 600 'Revere' was available in Europe from 1988 to 1992. It had an integrated steel frame, larger fuel tank, a lower and stubbier silencer, shaft drive, single-sided alloy swinging arm at the rear, with an adjustable monoshock and a centre stand. It was launched as a 'gentleman's' motorcycle but was seen as expensive for what was on offer. The 600 Revere was replaced in 1993 by the bored-out NTV650 (the Revere name being dropped in the UK), with a cheaper specification (including tubular handlebars instead of alloy bars, cheaper instruments and horns, some supplied without a centre stand), and continued with the 'stubby' silencer until '95 and later models got a full-length silencer to comply with updated noise regulations. The price was reduced compared to the Revere, and this later model sold better.
Purchased by the late vendor, in 2017, the attractive Honda was subject to occasional use in ownership, primarily because it was part of a small collection of Hondas. The machine last ran in the spring of 2023, however, it has been turned over regularly. It is offered at the sale complete with its handbook, service book with 3 stamps, 9 MOT certificates and a current V5C.
