What kind of bike is the Honda 450 Nighthawk?
The one on the left is quite a rare bird, a CB450S, the final 86-88 model where that bulletproof engine was given a more rigid perimeter frame and some sportbike cachet. Bit of a pity they’ve been unattended outside for at least a year.
What kind of carbs does a Honda Nighthawk have?
Cleaned carbs and found interesting adjustable needles. Brand new Keihin 118 main jet and 40 primary. This thing takes of like a rocket ship and louder than any other bike in my area. Lots of heavy gauge steel wool fixed that, but I would not recommend anything past 6k RPM. Drove myself nuts for about a month playing with these carbs.
When did I start posting pictures of my Honda Nighthawk?
Many of them take the time to send me a picture of their motorcycle, and starting back in 2003 I decided to start posting them here. Grab a camera and have someone take a picture of you on your Nighthawk. Then email me using this form and I will get back to you.
Where did Paul get his Honda Nighthawk from?
Fast forwarding, after I graduated high school, I was abroad with YWAM and Mercy Ships in a few spots, including Guinea, Africa, where our team rented a sweet Honda 90 motorcycle, which was the first time I’d had a chance to re-learn this lost art, and I was re-hooked.

When did I buy my Honda CB 450 Nighthawk?
I bought my Honda CB 450 Nighthawk (1985 model) two years ago. It was very well kept and mantained, with about 40 thousand kilometers. The bike had been kept in a garage for a long time when I bought it, so I had to put it back in shape before driving it on the road, and I have to say your website and forums helped me a great deal.
What kind of bike is the Nighthawk 750?
This is my 1992 Nighthawk 750. I picked it up for a few hundred bucks along with a low-mileage crashed 2000 parts bike. The ’92 didn’t run but turned over, so I proceeded to pull the carbs. 7 hours later and with a mostly disassembled rear end I got them off. Man I don’t like this air box!
