In case anyone is interested, I've listed my Nighthawk 750 on Craig's List.

If you live anywhere in Florida between Jacksonville and Miami, I will
bring the bike to you for a test ride. Just hit me up with an e-mail.

I just bought my first 93 Nighthawk and love riding it. I also ride a 2011
Harley Davidson Triglide which is also a great bike especially two up
riding. I am vertically challenged at 5'7" and am able to ride the
Nighthawk just fine. I just wanted to say that my Nighthawk gets the same

Just buy a zx14 Barry, they are massive and the fastest thing on the road.
No bear on a bicycle or ego needs with that one.

Like to ride one, but afraid performance will be too big a drop. My
replacement thoughts run from V strom 650 thru Tiger 800 and up to Super
Tenere. Rode fz 07 and 09, but they just seem physically small. I feel like a
circus bear on a bike.

John,
Sounds like a testimonial. Also sounds like we're the same age with similar
years of riding experience. I'd like to give one a try. People complain
that they don't look flashy, but I could go for the low weight and seat
height as well as the newer technology, good gas mileage, and Honda
I bought mine without riding one. I did talk to the dealership owner who gave
me an honest opinion of it. It has plenty of power for normal riding. I ride
with a buddy who has a the fastest ninja they make and I keep up with him until
he acts stupid with it. It wants to be driven like a Harley u

Only during parades. Rest of the time - it runs fine - just trying to
keep the engine from overheating. Have to use it on the uphill portions of
course.

Well - my driveway is a bit humped - the middle of it has a high spot so it
is up hill from the street, then down hill to the shed where the bike is
kept. As a result I ride into the shed - then roll backwards down the ramp

Joey, I checked those out at the dealership not long ago while they were

I bought a CTX700 earlier this summer. What a really nice machine! Fuel economy
is astounding. I get 65 -71 mpg. That isn't on highway driving. I usually drive
it 5 miles to work and back on suburban roads. I highly recommend one!

Those new Honda 700's seem nice too. Like most Honda's, they assume your
heels are sewn into your rear end, so high seat height is no problem.

I hope to eventually get a FJR or a concourse 14. You could test ride those

Like you I think I would rather have the acceleration and it's not
worth changing the sprocket since I'm not on the freeway that much. I
just learned the 1980s "S" models had a 6th gear. I didn't know that
and it makes me want one.
