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

Helmet Law Upheld in Ontario

Tue, 16 Jun 2009

A Sikh in Ontario, Canada, has lost his challenge to the $110 ticket he received back in September 2005 for not wearing a helmet while riding his Honda Shadow. Baljinder Badesha, 39, claims the Ontario helmet law is “100 per cent” discrimination no matter what the safety issues are when riding without a helmet. We cannot put anything over the turban, it is against our religion. Mr. Badesha said outside court.

Honda Raises MSRP for 2013 NC700X But Lowers Price for DCT Option

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

The big news from Honda last week was the introduction of the new CTX700 and CTX700N cruisers. Flying a little under the radar however was a change to American Honda‘s pricing structure for the 2013 NC700X which sees a price increase for the base model but a price cut for combined anti-lock brakes and a dual clutch transmission Honda introduced the NC700X last year at an impressively low price of $6999 for the base model and $8999 with ABS and DCT. The low price point was one key advantage we awarded the 2012 NC700X over the $7899 Kawasaki Versys in our recent Middleweight Multi-Tool Shootout.

Are Motorcycles Safer With Antilock Brakes?

Tue, 30 Dec 2008

A new report says riders with ABS-equipped bikes can dramatically reduce the chance of a fatal accident. The study compared fatality rates among riders on bikes that have antilock brakes, and it found that death rates were 38% lower on motorcycles equipped with the optional ABS systems compared to non-ABS bikes. In 2005-2006, the fatal crashes per 10,000 registered motorcycles without antilock brakes was 6.6.
