Getting rear ended on a Kawasaki z125
Bought a z125, was trying to make a review of it and got rear ended. Didn't break anything, just my shins just got some pretty big bruises from hitting the foot pegs. Bike ended up being a total loss by the driver's company's insurance. The guy who hit me was super apologetic, I felt bad that he felt so bad for hitting me, and thanks to the man on the black Harley for trying sticking up for me. Hope it was entertaining!

1967 AMC Rebel exhaust

The '67 Rebel briefly owned had an AMC 232 straight 6, with a carter two barrel carburetor and I believe it had a flowmaster muffler. It was no V8 but I thought it had a decent sound

    It gets me when people say that they must get rid of a car or bike because they can’t control themselves. Listen. If you can’t control yourself nowd, then you will never make it in life. Your BMW is fast enough to kill you and anyone else in the area. The 650 will get 65 mpg at least. My 1977 Kz 650 Kawasaki got 70 mpg. My 1980 Kz 1000 Kawasaki got 60 mpg. As big as you are the 300 will be a dog the entire time you own it. It is really a good bike but it just isn’t big enough to keep up with traffic. A 650 is a perfect size for someone your size that isn’t experienced on bikes, and it will keep up with traffic, and is big enough to get out of the way of the crazy drivers. The 650 you have is an easy fix. They come with 2 coils bolted to the top of the frame under the tank. One controls the left two cylinders and one the right two. Simply swap them and fire the engine up. If the two weak two cylinders transfer to the other side you have found the problem. Replace the bad coil and you are set. As for not being able to control yourself and getting tickets, that is simply maturity. Buck up little camper. Be responsible or you will always have problems in life. You are young. Fix your problems while you are young.

    if you like the bike... just keep it. jesus. you're not gonna lose money holding on to it a while longer. as long as you keep it in decent shape. it'll maintain that value for a while, maybe go up a bit in years to come. and always good to have 2 bikes. you can set one up for one type of riding, or taking trips or something. not gonna get away with a ton of gear on a 650, but you could through some bags with enough clothes for a few days on it. cause that 300, i highly doubt would be very comfortable for long rides... and you're definitely not getting much on there.

  • @salvadordollyparton666
    @salvadordollyparton666 ปีที่แล้ว

    you don't think you should keep the second bike, when you have 2 cars, and barely use one? well, i'd start with getting rid of that other one... but then, i'm not scared of a 650 nighthawk... i thought about getting one for just a put around bike, but i think it'd be too slow and boring for that, for me. just having one real bike anyway. wouldn't mind a 750 one day just to cruise around. but that'd be my 6th bike or so in the stable. i mean, the virago is gonna be for my daughter... if i don't get a 650 hawk for her. not nighthawk. i just wish they'd put a chain and disc on the damn things... then they'd be fine. and i don't see where the hell all that weight is. i mean, there are a LOT of liter bikes that weigh less. so again, don't see how anybody could see them as really powerful just for that.

  • @salvadordollyparton666
    @salvadordollyparton666 ปีที่แล้ว

    god people get on my nerves with the whole "it's not whatever size" like this is 286cc... seriously? how many bikes EVER are exactly what's advertised? and if it was 300cc, none of you assholes would buy it, cause it has a one of piston that doesn't fit any other bike, or rods, crank, whatever. so, now it's priced out of the class. and like that whole 14cc is EVER gonna make an actually noticeable difference. oh, it's got .15 more horsepower... who cares? and it's not about being "technical" it is a 300... that's the model. period. doesn't matter if the engine is actually only 100cc, the model number is 300. but if you think a 650 nighthawk is "powerful"... and don't really trust yourself with it... i just don't know what to say there, other than if you're that worried why are you out of your bubble in the first place? a nighthawk is not powerful. they're not fast. they're HEAVY, air cooled, drum rear brake, not gonna be fast. even in the 80s when rear drums were more common. might have one of these, and still be quick, but not all. they're not bad bikes, honda has made very few actually bad motorcycles, if even more than one. but a "claimed" 72hp when new, is like 50 at the wheel, and probably even less now... cause... shaft drive... THAT i don't get. all the stupid little shaft drive bikes of the 80s. i have one too.. seems i'm destined to always have one damn yamaha, and i'm stuck with a 535 virago that needs everything, cause it ain't a honda. but that thing is absolutely gutless. not because of the engine, but weight and shaft drive. there should be no sub liter bikes with a shaft drive, at least 800.

    A cold blooded beast, it needs a while to warm up, but suddenly -voom- see you later. Doesn't produce much electricty below 2000 rpm, but loves too rev all the way to red line. In town it's hard to get it out of third gear, meanwhile sixth gear red line will put at warp speed. The cb650sc nighthawk ruled the middleweight class till 1985 and Yamaha's 750 maxim x came along liquid cooled with 5 valves and 92 horsepower

    I love motorcycles, all kinds of motorcycles. And although I plan to get the collection below a dozen I still have more than a couple dozen. For me, it took riding and having a lot of bikes to appreciate the 83 to '85 Honda CB650SC Nighthawk. I've had three now and my mechanic kept one of them. After 47 years of riding and More than double that many bikes, this 650 remains in the harem. It was hard letting the 700S Nighthawk go, but I kept the CB750 Nighthawk with a small fairing and GIVI bags. At this point I look for Goldilocks bikes not too hot not too cold not too big not too small not too fast not too slow, you get the idea. I've owned 250-300 cc bikes and I would pick this Nighthawk over that 300 every time. 250 cc's are much better on dual purpose and off-road bikes. For the street I like the 450cc class and up. And of course I'm including the Ninja 400, but nothing smaller. And yes I owned three Ninja 250s, as well as four Honda Helix 250.

    If I could have back just one of the 32 motorcycles I owned over my lifetime, it would be my '86 650 Nighthawk. Just a great all around bike: comfortable, dependable and classic in appearance. Enough power for a highway but best suited for long, country roads. It's been 30 years but when you started yours up, the engine sound was as familiar as if I'd been out for a ride yesterday.

Bought an 84 nighthawk a month ago and refurbishing to be my first bike, almost finished aside from paint and cosmetics.
