Going rate for these bikes seem a bit geographic specific. Bought my
'96 w/13k for $1600 in the southeast. Prices seem higher on both
coasts and up north.
22k wouldn't bother me if I knew previous maintenance was regular and
conscientious. They're pretty much bullet proof if cared for.

Lots of people are trying to buy these and older bikes. New bikes are not
flying off the show room floor. These bikes as you all know are very reliable
and easy to work on. What's not to like? I have a Ducati 900dss cr that sits
most of the time just for that reason.

Not necessarily, if it is inspection ready shape, around where I live it would
be a good deal.

That's practically no miles for the drive train. The tach might be broken they
tend to go up around 15K - 20K. At that mileage its oem chain is probably about
done, brake pads/shoes too.

Jake, where are you? $2250 is a lot for a '92 with 22k on it. Where's the bike

Hey Everyone,
I have been riding for a few years and have LOVED my Nighthawk 250.
But now its time to find something a little bigger and I came across a
1992 Nighthawk 750. I have not had a chance to go look at it, but I
am planning on doing so this week. I just wanted to ask if anyone had

Sorry you didn't steal my thunder because we were talking about two different
things. Handling is also impaired when you use the next bigger tire up even
though it my fit. I also never had a harsher ride on a bias ply tire. What I
have noticed is today's bias ply don't last as long as they once

I guess I just wasn't clear, sorry. What I was trying to say was that bias-ply
tires are inherently stiffer (hence why they ride harsher). Because of this
radials need lower profiles and thicker sidewalls to be rigid enough. This
affects rim design as radial rims have a wider bead area. So if yo
single unit.. at least on my 86

You need that structural rigidity for cornering and when you get a flat at
speed. I feel like when I post I'm telling people what they already know? I
feel everyone is mechanically inclined and most is just commonsense.

as a former navy welder i would have made one for myself long ago, but
after removing the trunk on the goldwing there is already a perfect rack
there almost strong enough to lift the bike by (only because the goldwing
is a heavy pig)

You can go flat on a sport bike tire and not know it. On a bias ply your all
over the road. The sidewalk height is much taller and thinner on a bias ply.

I know on sport bikes radial side walls are much stiffer.

I've read somewhere that the bead on the radial tire rims are different due to
radials not having the inherent side wall stiffness of bias-ply. YMMV
