There is nothing wrong with the front forks. Nothing wrong with the turn signals. Nothing wrong with the gas tank, seat, rear shocks or single disc brake. You were lucky to find that bike in that condition. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Leave the bike stock and be happy with it.
Are you kidding? Don't do a thing to that bike - its engineered to perfection. Leave it stock. It will become a collectible some day - sooner than you think
Great motorcycle. I owned the same year, same color. In 2014 I was hit head on. Bike was totaled. It was a sad day. I got away with no broken bones. Enjoy the ride.
WOW.....Beautiful !! I'm still looking for one. The Nighthawk and the Magna have always been favorites of mine when I was a lot younger. I"ve been through a few sport bikes over the years and enjoyed them all. I've since sold my last one and been without a steed for a little over a year. I've been looking closely at the Nighthawks, Magnas, 919s, and Versys 650. All quite different, but all in consideration. The Nighthawk is tuggin' at my heart strings though. Its been almost a year since this video was posted and I sincerely hope you didn't modify your NH. She's perfect just the way she is! Awesome bike, man!
I just bought a 1991 Red 750 Nighthawk with about 25,000 miles on it. It's in really good shape but could use paint on the faded plastic bits. The steel tank looks fine. Red is particularly susceptible to UV degradation. However, if it is wetted down, it looks great so I might just spray some clear coat on the plastic trim. This engine runs like a dream and Nighthawks are SO comfortable to ride. I rode a 1982 450 Nighthawk for about 15 years and loved it. This 750 brought back a flood of fond memories. One thing I noticed on your bike was the left side header pipe is all blued out. That would indicated a lean condition in that cylinder, perhaps from previous issues with the carbs. All four of mine look like factory. I also own the VERY rare 2017 CB1100EX "Retro Classic" which is a great bike in its own right. Performance is virtually identical BUT the CB1100 does everything in a more "Relaxed Fashion", ie 2,500 rpm at 60 mph versus about 4,300 on the Nighthawk. Part of that is the 6 speed overdrive transmission on the CB1100. Of course the Nighthawk is 90 pounds lighter which compensates for the slightly lower horsepower (75 versus 88), along with it's shorter gearing. HOWEVER, when it comes to seat comfort, the Nighthawk has it all over the CB1100, and it's nimbleness is an absolute joy. I'm so glad I picked up this 27 year old vintage machine! It's a great starting point for a full restoration.
Beauty! I have a '98 I purchased 3 years ago with just under 14,000 miles which now has over 37,000. Nighthawks are awesome bikes... just keep the fluids changed and ride!
I love the whole Harley mystique, just seeing one makes me want to buy one. I started riding in 1975. I have owned many many bikes, and ridden more. Used to go to rider rallies just to test ride bikes. I never rode a Harley back to back with another brand, any brand, any style, where I didn't think the other bike was the better bike! To be clear, the Harley always lost the comparison to the other brand, any brand.
I just bought the same bike. Mine is a black 1997 Nighthawk 750. It has 16k miles and I paid $2700 cash for it. I trailered it home because it needed new tires. The old ones were dry rotting. I put Bridgestone Battleax radials on it in stock size 110/80-18 front and 140/70-17 rear and changed the oil with Mobil 1 synthetic and used a K&N KN-303 filter. Only had it 1 week now but I am really enjoying it. It's a bit too quiet for my taste. Looking for a Vance and Hines 4 into 1 exhaust for it but if I can't find one soon I'll probalby put the Delkevic 4 into 1 system on it.
What a fantastic find and I have to wonder if you still have it as this is a older video... About a year ago I bought a black 1991 in St Louis Missouri with only 10,000 miles on it... I have owned many motorcycles over the past 40+ years from crotch rockets to cruisers to muscle bikes and I have to say this 750 night hawk has become one of my favorites...
Have one most reliable Honda ever.Air cooled hydraulic valves no adjusting needed.Change wearables like tires chain sprockets and oil and this thing can go easily 300k
I love stock bikes. I'll change things on a bike if it's in fair but running condition, since it's already messed up...otherwise i only want stock. I have a 1991 and a like new 1995. Love the Nighthawks.
Reminds me of my baby. Shes a '95 i chopped the exhaust put slip ons and had to redo the seat red got plasti dip on her. Just had to replace the head cover gasket seal. She kinda runs like ish with the new slip ons but no noticable loss in power. I love this fuckin bike
I just bought a 92 night hawk it sat for 4 years i took it to get the carbs cleaned new chain an sadly new blinkers cause the original ones had got brittle an broke plus I did put Bluetooth speakers on it that is the only mod I will do to it it was my front neighbor bike an I wanted it ever since I rode it to his house when he couldn't ride it any more due to medical reasons an he finally let me have it for 900
Sorry for not posting in forever haha. I have done nothing to the bikes guys i actually ended up selling it to my father and he kept it as is in original condition. I need to make a update video soon!!
I have a friend who owns and rides thirteen motorcycles, all street legal and registered. He can own/ride whatever he wants. His bikes range from a Yamaha XT225 to the mighty Triumph Rocket III. He owns and rides TWO 91-03 generation Nighthawk 750's. One with stock exhaust, the other with 4 into 1 Kerker exhaust. That should speak volumes. I rode from '75 to '05 ten months of the year. Then on and off until '18. I still have four bikes from 200-1100cc's. I just picked up a 2002 Nighthawk with 51,600 miles and running strong. It has GIVI hard bags and extra front lights. Will change rear shocks to a reservoir style, upgrade to an LED headlight, add a handlebar fairing, and go up one tooth on the front sprocket. No inline four buzz at the handlebars, does not excel at anything but being good at everything except off road.
I am thinking of getting a 2003 with 9900 miles on it. One owner and in pristine condition. Do you think 2k is a fair price? The one I am getting is Red. Are they pretty good all around bikes.
Don’t listen to any of the weekend warriors telling you to keep it stock. I got a 99 750 nighthawk 20k miles chopped frame (never got around to looping haha), chopped fairings, Daytona bars, and a dual sport tire on the rear. Taking it on a 2000 mile trip next week, wouldn’t want any other bike to do it on.

His comment on switching the forks had me dying 😰

The guy who sold you this bike is such a cool man
Have met him

That's one of the best years. The engine is black'd out and the chrome gauges. Drum brakes last forever. I'm jealous.
J Boy I love the later blacked out engines, I have a 91. Bought it with cosmetic damage and I added more to it. Broke 2 fins.
@@alansmilealot I also chipped two fins on my 82 nighthawk 650 :p

Such a nice reliable honda model.
Beauty of a bike. Shame to hear you will modify such an original bike, as you point out completely original and original mileage.
What a fantastic find and I have to wonder if you still have it as this is a older video...

The CB750 Nighthawk will probably become a collectors item. It's history is too rich.
Have one most reliable Honda ever.Air cooled hydraulic valves no adjusting needed.Change wearables like tires chain sprockets and oil and this thing can go easily 300k

Just like mine.. Love every minute riding it!
Two years ago I found a 2000 with 210 miles on it, expect to hit 6,000 miles this year.
Great find. Good looking bike.
its in perfect condition, just enjoy the ride
Love the night hawk..
just bought a black 1997 with 1140 miles
I just bought a 92 night hawk it sat for 4 years i took it to get the carbs cleaned new chain an sadly new blinkers cause the original ones had got brittle an broke plus I did put Bluetooth speakers on it that is the only mod I will do to it it was my front neighbor bike an I wanted it ever since I rode it to his house when he couldn't ride it any more due to medical reasons an he finally let me have it for 900
number one cylinder is hot? Looking at the blue on the exhaust pipe. Also, what was the price of the bike?
Beautiful machine 😮
looks great
I like those turn signals .. they arent crappy .. haha .. i have exact same bike :) .. their awsome
You just upgraded. Don't touch it. Worst case get older Nighthawk forks. I ride an 82 750 with 42k miles.
Sorry for not posting in forever haha. I have done nothing to the bikes guys i actually ended up selling it to my father and he kept it as is in original condition. I need to make a update video soon!!
Thank goodness

What did you pay for the Nighthawk? Still running good? Thanks
Please do not make those changes you mentioned. You won't end up being happier. Buy an R6 if you want.
nice one . i have same bike 96
"It's a beautiful bike" yeah it is! Don't f**k with it!
I bought a '97 nighthawk 750 last month, just over 8700 miles on it =)
How much$?
I just bought a 92 with 1150 miles on it .. it's not even broken in yet
I have a 97, and I love almost everything about it, what did you pay for yours?
great find
Its a nice bike all bye its self i would pipe it and maybe some carb work other than that its way cool oh yeah better blinkers!
My 99 750 Nighthawk has 72,500 miles on it.
Lucky you great bike
Why is the far left exhaust pipe blue? Is it because the carburetor was too rich?
Rich or lean, but it was definately out of sync with the other 3.
better then the 750 shadow
I am thinking of getting a 2003 with 9900 miles on it. One owner and in pristine condition. Do you think 2k is a fair price? The one I am getting is Red. Are they pretty good all around bikes.
thats a great price. I picked up a good condition one yesterday with 16k miles for $1500.
Do you still have the bike? Do you still like it or did you get rid of it?
Still have
Wow most lucky guy in world
How much did you pay for it?
Anyone in texas ridein a nighthawk. Id live to ride with fellow nighthawk riders
IndustrialCOMMIE hopefully me in the next few days.
Me i just bought one
I have a stock 1991 honda nighthawk
Let me know when you wanna get rid of it! 😂
Don’t listen to any of the weekend warriors telling you to keep it stock. I got a 99 750 nighthawk 20k miles chopped frame (never got around to looping haha), chopped fairings, Daytona bars, and a dual sport tire on the rear.

So what do you think now?
What do I think about what?
Want to sell it ?
