Street Hawk (http://www.thegeektwins.com/2012/02/ten-rider-knock-offs-that-failed.html) is an American superhero television series that aired for 13 episodes on ABC (http://www.warpedfactor.com/2016/08/looking-back-at-street-hawk.html) in 1985 (https://americajr.com/news/2019/01/04/fun-flashback-friday-abcs-street-hawk/).

More popular outside of the US the Street Hawk toy history is complicated and includes him sort of being a member of GI Joe!

From the opening narration:
Jesse Mach (https://www.eightieskids.com/12-street-hawk-facts-every-fan-know/), an ex-motorcycle cop, injured in the line of duty. Now a police troubleshooter, he's been recruited for a top secret government mission to ride Street Hawk -- an all-terrain attack motorcycle (https://www.rediscoverthe80s.com/2012/03/man-machinestreet-hawk.html) designed to fight urban crime, capable of incredible speeds up to three hundred miles an hour, and immense firepower. Only one man, federal agent Norman Tuttle, knows Jesse Mach's true identity. The man...the machine...Street Hawk.
