1992 Honda CB750 Nighthawk

Summary:

Nearly perfect

Faults:

I encountered some electrical problems with the starter one year ago, finally it was nothing really serious, but it happened in a moment when I didn't have much time to fix it, and I really wanted to take a ride; whatever...

It is not very easy to find accessories for this model.

General Comments:

It is the most extraordinary bike regarding the mechanical reliability.

In fact the manufacturer designed and engineered the engine (and the mechanical parts) like a car one; basically there's no need to repair or service it never ever (of course, you need to take care a little bit, by changing the oil, brake pads, etc... when required and ensuring correct - minimal - maintenance).

It is quite comfortable, easy to handle, it doesn't vibrate and it isn't noisy (for a motorcycle)

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

Actually, the non-US version is still manufactured and sold outside of the United States. It is called a CB750. It is identical to my 2000 model except for some cosmetic changes, and dual disk brake calipers on the front and single disk brake caliper on the rear. Search on the Internet and you will find it.
