Good post. Keep in mind like some of them said cruiser styling means they have very little suspension travel, so they are usually harsh riding. Also low ground clearance makes them drag hard parts too soon. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T -Original Message- From: surfswab Sender: nighthawk

Well Honda will never discontinue a water pump for the 90's NH. Right now on the VFR list they are working on an electric water pump conversion because of just that reason. If you have a VFR or CBR older than 2000 you may not be able to get a replacement pump, unless you get a used one off Ebay.

Cruisers aren't the most maneuverable of bikes, especially at slow speeds. I'd recommend you at least take a spin on the bike before you consider buying. An ACE is going to shake more, feel less powerful and turn more heavily at slow speeds than your Nighthawk. About the only good things I can say
