1984 Honda Nighthawk 700 S – CB700SC – Red and Black This bike has been fully restored and is probably the cleanest example of this particular bike in the Twin Cities if not the upper Midwest. It recently won 2nd place in the Honda category at the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club motorcycle show. The bike is about 95 percent original to the factory build, and what is not factory are upgrades to make the bike perform better such as Stainless Steel brake and clutch lines for example. Originally the bike had about 16,500 miles on it but then was stored for about 10 years. I purchased the bike about 5 years ago and have been slowly working on restoring it ever since. Since the rebuild I have logged about 1000 miles on the bike with no issues. The bike runs great, and looks absolutely beautiful. This is a fun bike to ride and is very responsive and sporty.
