    Classic Honda



    I'm not much of a Honda man, but for the price, this sure is tempting.....

    Not bad - amazing shape for the year.

    Personally I really liked the 750 Nighthawk S - for that, I might be tempted to have a Honda :wink:

    Is that a CB750? Great bikes, you could do worse!

    Sure looks sweet to me. CB900F.

    Shares a lot of styling with the CB500 Turbo. Not sure how much $600 Canadian is but it sounds like a deal to me. I love old standards.

    Here's a picture of the Nighthawk S I mentioned -- this was basically Honda's version of our X - liquid cooled, shaft drive, etc but more sporty and less cruiser.

    when I bought my XJ650 it was a toss up between the XJ and a 700S nighthawk,I was leaning towards the nighthawk but the seller had someone show up with the money before I got a chance to go look at the bike,at least it made up my mind which one to buy :D I hopefully will run across anouther 700S for a good price one of these days,I'll have to tell wifey the XJ is hers :wink: to get anouther bike :lol:this is the one I missed [​IMG]

    My buddy had a 750S, a blue/black one. Still one of my favourite bikes, although I'd take an XJ750RL over it, or a 900 Seca, definitely (pretty much all the same style of bike). It was air cooled though, not liquid.

    Beaverbucks are near 90 cents US right now, so it's pretty much a wash. Economists are saying the two will be at par within a year.

    What do you consider a good price? I've got one I'm going through now (CB700S) It's a little rough now, but by the time I'm finished with it........

    Well, it may be ready by then. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
    REALLY nice ones are fetching $2300.00-$2500.00 on eBay at present.
    I'll keep you informed on the progress.

    Yeah I know,The one in pic,I had a deal for 1550.00 and it sure looked good in pics,14,000 miles and I prefered the all black to the honda paint,if it was as decent as it sounded talking to the owner it would of been a killer deal,I should of just sent the guy the money and picked up bike when i could get away

    I'm going to jump on this bandwagon. Just found out today that I'm going to be picking up a 1999 Nighthawk 750 on Tuesday. Took it out for a spin today and holy freak, I love this thing. $1400 and only a couple of things need to be replaced/repaired. ;-)

    Congrats! They look like well built bikes. I only hope I can sell this one before I decide not to...
