  • Honda Nighthawk

    Hey all:
    I'm very close to picking up a 93 Honda Nighthawk and was wondering if any of you have had any experience with these bikes. The one I'm looking at is showroom stock with only 4,000 miles on her. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    The 750?

    Quick, absolutely bullet proof, and they will stand up to a LOT of abuse.

      Daniel:
      Yes, it's the 750. I rode it today and had a blast on it. What a difference between my XS and this thing. It's so much lighter and easier to handle. It lacks the torque of the 1100 and the HP really doesn't kick in until about 5,500 rpm. It would take a drastic change in riding habits that's for sure.

          I had a 450 Nighthawk

          It was an incredible bike! and I can only assume that the 750 is just as terrific... just faster.... which is the only thing I had a problem with on the 450...
          It took a LOT of abuse and kept on running like a champ...
