I wish you lived closer to me...I'd love to have a hawk. They are a cool bike, and very under-appreciated. Hang in there, and don't take a low-ball offer. These bikes have a bit of a cult following. Like the 599, they did not sell well when new, and by the time people realized what a good bike they were, Honda had pulled the plug in North America. Have you tried searching for a hawk/NT650 forum or owners group, or classic bike trader of some sort? That would be your best bet for a quick sale and more money.

What kind of fairing/screen is that?
What kind of fairing/screen is that?
Targa, I believe. They were available through Honda dealers, color matched, in 1990. It was my Dad's bike and he had the fairing put on when he purchased it new.
Additional info and bump.
I'm the second owner, my Dad was the first. it came to me when he got an SV650. The fairing was a dealer accessory at the time -- I believe Honda listed it as a factory accessory and it was made by Targa. I did all the mods myself, save for the installation of the GV emulators (by a shop) and the jetting kit (by my Dad -- who also put a TBR system on it; I changed to the M4). I also did the scheduled services at the scheduled 8,000 mile intervals (I wouldn't bother checking the valve clearances again for another 20,00, they never change). Always used synthetic oil. She rides and runs perfectly. I've toured on it, run track days and chased my friends on their liter bikes through the back roads. I'm selling it because I got the 599 (also from my Dad) and I have a one car garage.
I would so snatch that up if I was in the market for a bike. This one's a cult classic.
Sold for the asking price.
