What I just looked up. 93 Honda Nighthawk cb750 - $1200 (santa cruz): http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/mcy/2167957489.html Honda Nighthawk 750cc 1993 - $1800 (lafayette / orinda / moraga): http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/2165586865.html 1995 Honda Nighthawk 750 - $1500 (mountain view): http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/mcy/2163014994.html 1992 Honda 750 Nighthawk - $1950 (vallejo / benicia): http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/2161714615.html Sean On Jan 20, 1:17 pm, Jules <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers, > > I am new to this group and joined per the suggestion of Mark, a > current member.
