Honda Nighthawk description

Hello,Bought this late last year to fix up and haven't got around to it yet, so it's got to go...This is a very vwery clean 1983 Honda Nighthawk 650. They called these the 750 killers back then - the reviews I read all said it was very fast for a 650.No dents or scrapes, barely a scratch on it; the paint is almost showroom clean. Has the optional Honda Line rear low-profile sissybar with the Hondaline small luggage rack. No tears on the seat or sissy bar pad.When I bought it it needed a few things, and still does:- Tires are maybe original - hold air, but to do it right, they should be replaced.- Marker light rubber mounts (the lamps themselves are fine, just the rubber mounts that they mount to have broken. They run about $12-17 each.- Front calipers are unbolted - not sure of their condition, maybe just need to be bolted back on and blead, maybe re-built?, but they're easy to find on ebay for $30-45 each.This bike has about 21K on it and it's a showroom looker with a tiny bit of elbow grease. Not that much to do to make it pretty - the aluminum and chrome are in attractive shape, paint is excellent, logos great, engine clean and exhaust shiny with no discoloring or dents. This bike has never been put down or abused, based on it's appearance.It's not running right now, it's in the exact state it was when I bought it.These are know to be just about bullet proof - self adjusting cams and whatnot...Need the room and need to lose a project that I don't have enough time for.It's a one-owner bike - original owner got too old to ride it and it sat in his garage for a few years. Have the original A title.Don't ask to bring a battery and drain the gas and try to start it - if I wanted to go to all that trouble, I'd keep the darn bike. This is a project, but a weekend project at that. Keep your $300 offers for someone else.Julian

Honda CRF250L Confirmed for North America

Thu, 19 Apr 2012

American Honda and Honda Canada haven’t yet officially announced they will import the new Honda CRF250L, but the parent company has outed the dual-sport’s availability in North America. Honda has launched a new micro-site dedicated to the CRF250L describing its features including its CBR250R-derived engine. The section discussing the CRF250L’s muffler explicitly confirms an American and Canadian model, saying: “the model for the United States and Canada complies through additional settings for a spark arrestor.” The section on the CRF250L’s engine also confirms the dual-sport will be CARB-compliant, stating: “the power unit for the U.S.

Do You See the Motorcycle?

The Honda crotch rocket rider was traveling at approximately 85 mph. The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the motorcycle. More photos after the jump.
