When did the Honda Nighthawk 655cc come out?
This Nighthawk was truly a marvel of good looks and efficiency when it appeared in 1983. Good lines, good paint, cast alloy wheels, megaphone-styled exhaust and 65 horses out of an all-new 655cc in-line four.
What was the price of a Honda CB650SC Nighthawk?
It had performance, handling, styling, a 12.5-second quarter-mile time and a price of $2,800. Honda was sure it had a winner. It did…in Europe. But less so in the U.S.
When did I buy my first Honda Nighthawk?
Used to have a Yamaha Vision and in my frequent trips to mechanic to fix the stator, I saw a Nighthawk S and thought it would be a good choice with similar engine size and shaft drive. Probably bought first one in late 80s where I fashioned a large windscreen with Plexi over a clay form to fit the bikini fairing.
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!
