1983 Honda Nighthawk

Clear

1983 Honda Nighthawk CB650SC – good to very good condition Mileage: 29,380 (may change slightly, as I do ride bike weekly) Brief History of Bike: I am the third owner. The second owner, a friend, put the bulk of the miles on the bike. He is a motorcycle enthusiast. This bike is a classic. She shows well, as Honda put some bells and whistles into the early years of the Nighthawk, before they watered down the design. For example, lots of nice chrome and forged aluminum parts. Six speed transmission, with a digital gear shift indicator. Bike is mechanically sound. Has a surprising amount of power for a 650. Work Completed: New Yuasa battery October 2012 from KC Engineering. Tires are good – rear is a Pirelli and front is a Metzeler. Mechanically, it’s in very good condition. Tank re-painted inside and out – see photo. I will include a folder of receipts of work completed over the years. What it needs: See photos – cosmetic issues include dent in rear pipes. Needs rubber mounts for turn signal indicators. Bike needs a good detail on engine, including fins. Item Location: Walnut Creek, CA Reason for selling: I don’t ride enough. Bike needs another good home. Miscellaneous: Includes original manual, spare keys, California title in hand. I forgot to bring the title with me as I write this listing, hence the missing vin data.
