Hi All, I'm looking for some input from anyone with long term experience with the Nighthawk 250. I have a 2008 nighthawk that I bought with 3k miles from a dealer. Since August 2011, I have put 8k miles on it with my daily 50 mile commute, 20 miles of which is highway. So far this little bike has held up great and saved my a ton of money on gas versus my '97 Dodge Durango V8. However, I was just offered a better teaching job that will require 72 miles on the freeway. It will be a longer (but faster) commute for me with no lights, but I am worried that I am going to prematurely destroy my little 250 by running it @ 70mph for 72 miles a day.
So my questions are these: 1. Can my Nighthawk hold up in the long term for this commute? 2. If not, any suggestions on a bigger bike with great fuel economy? I will have to go through a dealer if I need to get a new bike, because I don't have any cash on hand, so older used bikes are probably not an option. I really want to hang on to this little bike as it has treated my well, but if I'm going to destroy it, I will just have to trade it in. Thanks for your input. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
