83 Honda Nighthawk 650

[EclipseTurbno93]

So I sold my 250 for a nice, healthy sum and decided to move up to something bigger. I had a fairly short list of things I wanted (air cooled, 500 or bigger, in mostly running condition). I was gravitating towards older Honda's when this one kind of dropped into my lap from someone originally looking to trade for the 250. 

When I went to go look we found it had a pretty serious fuel leak, but ran great and was rideable. After a few days of thinking and going to look at a completely junk 84, I offered him $600 which he accepted. 

These bikes are pretty cool, sort of ahead of their time in many ways. They were designed to be "maintenance free" and has self adjusting valves and shaft drive. It also comes with a six speed, adjustable anti-dive on the front forks, and lcd fuel and gear displays. Also, I get a tach now which is a nice upgrade. This ones also got an aftermarket exhaust and it sounds great. 

Oh and I almost forgot the most important thing of all: It has flames!!





I will try to get better pictures the next time I am home during daylight hours, probably this weekend.
