Honda Nighthawk description
|
Here is a fine 1984 Honda CB650SC Nighthawk with 15,819 miles. I have loved this bike since 2008 when I acquired it as the second owner. I have spent time, care and energy making sure that it is the best looking and best-running motorcycle it can be. Regrettably, I have three other motorcycles and don't do much longer highway riding and will stick with my smaller cc bikes. I do want someone to enjoy this great Honda machine. Take a good look at the auction pictures. Of course, this is the actual motorcycle you are bidding on. The highlights: Clear title, ready to ride operating condition and many, many positives.
I am a veteran eBayer and 40 year motorcyclist with a 100% rating over many transactions and also list with photos the very few negatives in the spirit of full disclosure. I'm confident you can't find a nicer bike for this money. With plenty of riding season left, you'll be a happy bidder, buyer and biker. This is a big motorcycle (434 lbs dry) with a 650cc four cylinder Honda engine and 63 HP with power to spare. I do not recommend it to a brand new rider/beginner unless they have had some experience on motorcycles and a certified MSF motorcycle safety course, or about to enroll in one. On the other hand, I will not limit or restrict the sale. I just want everyone to be safe out there! Remember the old saying, "Keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down." Positives + new seat, flawless work done by a local upholsterer in Milwaukee, Homestyle Custom Upholstery in Bay View WI. + body integrity grades as an A, no rattles or squeaks + flawless paint, all tones (tank, rear panel, side panels, all match with no fading) + shaft drive, always maintained and fluid changed + exhaust pipes Honda OEM, dual, no rust on headers + rear tire new a season ago, few miles in between + smooth powerband and throttle response; no hesitations + original mirrors, no cracks or fading + square headlight and square mirrors represent '80's styling + instruments (tachometer, speedometer, trip odometer, warning lights for turn signals, oil pressure, taillight and high beam all operative) + front turn stalks firm and straight. If you know Nighthawks, you'll appreciate this! + new oil and filter done 2 weeks ago, conventional 10w-40 + stored in 10x10 shed during winters and when not riding (no dents from cars!) + very seldom ridden in the rain (usually only when I was out riding and didn't pay attention to the forecast!) + thorough winter storage routine: on center stand off tires, removed battery and charged, covered in shed, new oil and filter, carburetors drained, gas StaBil, filled to top. No corrosion in tank. + battery 2 years old, but tended and removed to home over winter + clear Wisconsin title in my name. No liens or holds on motorcycle title. + charging system fine. If you know Nighthawks, sustained runs over 3,000 rpm are important to keep the battery charged. Puttering at low rpm runs the battery down. + 1 OEM logo Honda key and a copy provided. + fork lock fully functional + no oil or fluids drip. Fork oil and seals AOK, no weeping (see photos) + shown at the 2011 and 2014 Rockerbox Vintage Motorcycle Shows here in Wisconsin: Why do I mention this? It is a very clean and attractive bike + center stand and side stand fine. Side stand rubber shoe is not worn and is of proper length and depth Negatives - some minor weakness at gasket on cylinder head (see picture) No loss of oil, never was a concern to me, but I do mention it (see photos) - some rust at the lower exhaust collector; really amounts to loss of chrome finish (see picture) - some rear turn signal stalk droop (see picture) - small scrape on side panel (see picture) - again, if you know Nighthawks, the bike is fueled by four carburetors and on cold mornings (under 60 degrees), it can be finicky to start. You gain experience with the choke (manual) and how to use it. An experienced rider of '80's motorcycles will understand, but it does take some experience. No kick start, only electric. This model did not come with a kick starter. - no tool kit (to be honest...the OEM Honda tools in the little gray bag were mostly well made toys. I always used quality wrenches, sockets, etc for adjustments, etc. You may make an offer beginning at $1,200. I will entertain all offers up to the "Buy it Now" and at the end of the 7 day listing will accept the offer closest to $1,600. The "Buy it Now" is at $1,600, just in case you want to bypass all the drama/tension and make the bike yours. You'll be very happy with your motorcycle. If you'd like a photo of an angle you don't see here or a short video, send me an eBay system message and I'll get it to you. If you have fewer than 5 eBay transactions please email me before you bid; my experiences with "newbies" on eBay has had its challenges and I'd like to communicate first. This is a 32 year old motorcycle and, as nice as it is, it is best practice as a seller, and I state clearly that it is sold AS IS, with no warranty or return policy implied. $400 due within 24 hours of winning bid. Payment via PayPal. Shipping is the responsibility of the winning bidder. I have used uShip for many of my eBay transactions and recommend it to you for safe transportation that is right-priced. I reserve the right to cancel the eBay listing before it's conclusion as I have the bike for sale locally. I will work with you and uShip on pickup, but will NOT schedule or arrange for shipping. That's your job, it's not hard and, hey, you want your motorcycle, right? |

Honda NC700S and NC700X Coming to Canada – US Availability Still Uncertain
Wed, 23 Nov 2011American Honda has not included the recently revealed NC700S and NC700X models in its 2012 list of offerings, but it looks like the two motorcycles will be available in Canada. Honda Canada has not made an official announcement but a dealership in Kelowna, B.C., has published a press release that appears to have come directly from Honda Canada saying the two models will be available in Canada in the summer of 2012. (EDIT: Honda Canada has confirmed the NC700 models will be at the Toronto Motorcycle Show Dec.
Bahrain track days
Tue, 17 Dec 2013A few months ago, expat (and ex racer) John Beddall made contact to ask if I fancied doing some track day instruction out in Bahrain. After thinking about it for two seconds, flights were booked and a plan was put in place to look after around forty riders for a day at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC). Young Taylor Mac was also recruited to look after any tasty riders that I couldn’t deal with The Brits out there love their bikes, however, quite a few locals also turned up plus a few others from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. Most were on high end Superbikes, like S1000s, Panigales and RSV4s but there was also a healthy number R6s and new 675Rs. Although this fabulous Hermann Tilke designed circuit is around ten years old incredibly it has never hosted a bike race. The highlight of the year there is F1 but being owned by the Bahrainian Royal family, there is no desperate need for the circuit to operate as a profitable business. The track reminded me of Qatar but much more interesting as some great undulations have been built into its desert location. We shared the track with Supercars on the day (20mins on/20mins off) and as you might imagine it was betty swollocks for seven hours in the 30 plus temperatures. As usual there was a few offs with poor old RS1000 Aprilia mounted Andy breaking his femur early in the day. Two other buddies appeared to swap bikes mid air in another incident but fortunately escaped unhurt.In the evening everyone stayed for an al fresco dinner in the paddock with the craic going on for hours as the Fosters kept flowing. All in all it was a brilliant trip and it has left me thinking there could be cost effective ways of getting Brits out there for track days next winter. I'll keep you posted.Cape Town next to make my racing comeback at the Killarney 8 hour on a CBR150 Honda. Hopefully I can manage the beast, I'll post a full report next week.
IMS New York City
Thu, 15 Jan 2009What the hell is that? Come back tomorrow to find out! The New York City stop of the Cycle World International Motorcycle Show starts this Friday and I think my ears have begun bleeding from all the chatter going on around the Motorcycle.com virtual office about the 2010 Honda Fury.
