I bought my 92 Nighthawk 750 about 3 years ago for $2600, so I'd say $3200 is a little bit steep. See if you can talk them into going lower, although it depends on the miles. Mine had about 12,000 miles on it when I bought it.
I am about to buy a 1993 Nighthawk with 40K miles, needs tires, clear-coat on tank flaking, seat immaculate, front spring may be soft. This bike should go forever! I am paying only $1500, which seems to be a reasonable price for that mileage, but the engine will go 100K+ miles without rebuild when maintained. Had an '72 500/Four, sold it with 70K miles and it was running like new.
I just bought a low mileage 1995 750 Nighthawk. I've heard the engine is very reliable... How many miles can I expect it to go before any major work (such as top end overhaul) is required? I am an easy driver - will not abuse the bike in any way.
I bought a 1992 Nighthawk with 14000 miles and now have 18000. I love this bike! It does everything; long tours, 40 mile round trip commute, fun just riding around.
I put on a new rear tire and replaced my sprocket and chain last year, and I feel we are ready for many more trouble free miles! Did I mention I get 50 to 55 MPG?! What's not to love?!
Just bought a '95 750 NH about an hour ago... Took it for a spin around the block before it got dark. 37k on the clock, new tires/chain/sprockets/seat and I got it for $1450. She runs and sounds sweet in her 1st mile to get gas.
Will change oil and filters, sea foam the carbs, oil the chain, check tubage and re-tighten all the bolts tomorrow morning. Then I think I'll put a hundred or so miles on it to get acquainted. Will let you know what I think.
Oh yeah... tach's DOA.

I've had my 92 NH750 for 4+ years and it's now up to nearly 84K. In all those miles, only issues have been that the starter needed a rebuild, oil leak from valve cover gasket, and of course, the tach. Other than that, it's been tires, oil and filter change (every 3K), battery, and one chain replacement.
This bike has taken me on 300 mile day rides, around the corner to the store, and everything between. It can cruise all day at 80+, gets 40-50 mpg, is sit-upright comfortable and has never let me down.
I'd say I got my $2,000 worth. Wouldn't you?
I bought a 95 Nighthawk 750 about a year ago for $500, it had 37k miles on it so I changed the fork oil, brake fluid, oil and tires. I now have 51k on it and have changed a chain and sprocket set since. Other than a speedo light bulb and valve cover leak, it has run great. Also watch the starter switch; if it starts sticking, cable lube usually does the trick.
I acquired my black 1997 2 years ago with 8K miles on it. It now has 19K miles on it, and the only thing I have had to do is replace the rear tire, outside of normal owners maintenance. Everything works as it should and will still do 0-100 mph is about 13sec. Not that I do that often...
These bikes are very durable and are way underrated.
Even though it is now 10 years old, I still get repeated comments from people walking by on what a nice looking bike it is. The obvious replacement these days is the NT700V.
