Information received from Ryan by e-mail:

Streethawk was a bike originally designed by Andrew Probert who designed Airwolf also but the bike that he designed was only used in the pilot episode(picture enclosed).For the second episode(a second self)Ron Cobb was brought in to redesign it(pic enclosed)with machine guns,rocket launchers but from what I can tell there were three different designs of bikes used on the show(excluding the pilot episode bike) I have enclosed pics of all of them so you can pick whichever you think is best.The bikes were designed specially for the show but what they were based on is a funny subject so heres the rundown.
Pilot episode - 1983 honda xl500 (hired from honda and afterwards stripped and given back to them I believe)
The series bikes - 3 1984 honda 500's used for all the normal shots.
Stunts - 11 Honda xr250's.
Streethawk for a show that only lasted 13 episodes has attracted a huge following.
