  Most 79 Hawks had a cylinder gasket defect that was fixed under warrenty
and thereafter for free.
  Mine was fixed twice and after about 12K miles it failed again.  A little
form-a-gasket did the trick for me (the bike was old anyway).
 
  Other than that at 12k miles the CDI failed ($180) and it needed new tires
($140) and another new chain and some brakes.
 
  I had my Hawk 400 for about 6 years and was very satisfied.  I sold it 
last year for $750 with 12K miles (original price was $1250) and bought
a Nighthawk 750.
 
  The Hawk 400 was my first bike and a good one
