Honda Nighthawk description

Hello,Bought this late last year to fix up and haven't got around to it yet, so it's got to go...This is a very vwery clean 1983 Honda Nighthawk 650. They called these the 750 killers back then - the reviews I read all said it was very fast for a 650.No dents or scrapes, barely a scratch on it; the paint is almost showroom clean. Has the optional Honda Line rear low-profile sissybar with the Hondaline small luggage rack. No tears on the seat or sissy bar pad.When I bought it it needed a few things, and still does:- Tires are maybe original - hold air, but to do it right, they should be replaced.- Marker light rubber mounts (the lamps themselves are fine, just the rubber mounts that they mount to have broken. They run about $12-17 each.- Front calipers are unbolted - not sure of their condition, maybe just need to be bolted back on and blead, maybe re-built?, but they're easy to find on ebay for $30-45 each.This bike has about 21K on it and it's a showroom looker with a tiny bit of elbow grease. Not that much to do to make it pretty - the aluminum and chrome are in attractive shape, paint is excellent, logos great, engine clean and exhaust shiny with no discoloring or dents. This bike has never been put down or abused, based on it's appearance.It's not running right now, it's in the exact state it was when I bought it.These are know to be just about bullet proof - self adjusting cams and whatnot...Need the room and need to lose a project that I don't have enough time for.It's a one-owner bike - original owner got too old to ride it and it sat in his garage for a few years. Have the original A title.Don't ask to bring a battery and drain the gas and try to start it - if I wanted to go to all that trouble, I'd keep the darn bike. This is a project, but a weekend project at that. Keep your $300 offers for someone else.Julian

Start the ultimate project bike

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

The base for the ultimate project bike have appeared online, a Honda RC211V. The adverts consist of the supposedly the frame from Valentino Rossi's championship dominating machine from 2003 on eBay and a frame that comes complete with the sexy V5 engine. The eBay listing is currently at $510 and is literally an incomplete frame with the ad stating that it is the 'unfinished basis of replacement RC211V frame, all made in aluminium with CNC machined parts & high quality welding', the bidding is still under the reserve set by the user.

Casey Stoner To Be Named MotoGP Legend

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

There’s no question Casey Stoner was (and still is) one of the best riders ever to throw a leg over a motorcycle. His accomplishments on two wheels, especially his championships on both Ducati and Honda machinery, are proof. Next week at the MotoGP round at Phillip Island in Australia, Stoner will join a distinct group of riders as he will be officially inducted into the MotoGP Hall of Fame.
