Nighthawk S

[Liteitup]

In 1984 I bought my first new bike, a Honda Nighthawk S. Also the first bike I rode more than I worked on and pushed. Sold it a couple of years later and moved on to different hobbies. I came back to motorcycles in late 2010 with the purchase of a 2005 FZ1. From there it was a Super Tenere, a couple of KTM EXC's, the RS, the XR, 390 ADV, 890 Duke R, and finally the GSA.

Last week this showed up. This one is a 85 model.


Pretty nice survivor, 30k miles.
These bikes had hydraulic lifters, shaft drive, fuel gauge, gear indicator, 700cc inline 4 (thanks Harley).

Here's a pic of the original 84 model circa 84/85ish

not sure about that shady looking fellow, hopefully he grew up ok.
