1982 Honda CB750 Nighthawk review from United States of America
"I love this bike and intend to keep it for a very long time"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Oil leaks from breathers and valve cover.
Front fork seals are leaking.
General comments?
Bike gets uncomfortable on longer rides, but previous owner replaced the bars with straight Z bars and the seat with a Harley Davidson Sportster seat.
The bike is extremely fast for the style of bike and its age.
The bike handles like a sport bike, but loves to just go cruising as well.
