1985 Honda CB650SC Night Hawk
While I owned several dirt bikes years ago, I really had no interest in street riding until 1981.
They closed most of the riding areas around here and I bought a street bike to see if riding the roads was for me. Since that time, I have only owned 3 street bikes including this one which I purchased new. It replaced an almost identical 1983 which I had also purchased new.
Being as the Night Hawk is fairly quick, light and fun to ride, I never had a hankering for anything different.
It is a low 12 second quarter miler which is slow compared to the bikes of today, but was pretty quick in 1983. 12.1 @110 with the right rider. I`m sure I was never that fast.
Hydraulic valve lifters and shaft drive means you just change the oil/filter occasionally, put gas in it and ride.
Easy. (Have I ever mentioned I like easy?
)
