Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Just sayin hello

Hy all , as some of you know i decided to go with a Honda for the first bike and bought this project bike



Well i ended up selling it as i have found another bike in Mint Condition and picked it up 2 days ago , it's no SV but it's a beautiful Honda Nighthawk 650









Just thought it would only be fair to share with you all what i've been up to , hope you are all doing well

Yes they are pre 1990s the nighthawks are legendary for their reliability , it's common to see them on the road with 100,000 plus miles , my red one is a 1984 and has 20,000 miles and runs as if it just left the showroom floor and in cross country condition

I think there are UK forums just for the hawks (i know i found them for sale there)
Here's a quick overview on these bikes

It's extremely comfortable upright riding , the original square headlight was replaced with a round one as the owner had a fairing on it and wouldn't fit the square but i like the round one better and it's staying .
