A couple of my friends had smaller Nighthawks in the 1980s. They were nice looking bikes and rock solid reliable. I nearly bought a 450 as a restoration project two years ago, but someone beat me to it. Cheers!
Nope. I had a black 72 Nighthawk CB 759 and love that bike. Rode from Texas to California, then home to Hawaii. Sold it 3 years later, no accident, I disassembled the bike every weekend, except wiring and engine just to clean it up. I was proud of the bike. Sold it to dealership and list just $300 in 3 years! Only put 3200 miles. Did not ride for 26 years afterward. Now, on my 2nd Goldwing. 2005 first, now on 2007. I restarted back in 2009 with a brand new VTX1300R. I'm an old man riding an old man bike😁😎
Thanks for the comment. Nighthawks were awesome bikes, but Goldwings are on another level. In my 5 Myths About the Goldwing video, I say it's not an old guy's bike. Even though I too admit to supporting the stereotype. 😀Cheers!
Great story! Your 3 points to remember at the video's end ring true for all riders. Be safe and enjoy the ride 👍
Thanks for the comment! Same to you. Cheers!
I had two Nighthawks, a 250cc and 450cc. Loved em.
