As some of you may remember, I took the motorcycle safety course and got my endorsement a few months ago. I've been looking around for something to ride before the summer and it seems that everyone around here wants ridiculous money for their laid-down POS that "ran when I parked it."
I received a referral from a friend at work, who has a good friend with a bike he is willing to sell. It's a red and black 1985 Honda Nighthawk 700sc. He is asking top dollar for it, but it is cosmetically perfect with about 7500 miles on it. It's been drained and stored for the last few years. He got married, and his wife is terrified of them.
From what I have been able to learn, they are regarded as a great bike with super low maintenance requirements. They have a shaft drive and hydraulic valve adjustment.
I'm trying to work out a deal with him, which includes the bike tuned up and running with new rubber on it. It looks like this and is absolutely immaculately clean.
Any thoughts? Anyone ever owned one?
