IMHO; I had a '82 CB650sc. A nice bike... just nice. no hydraulic valve adjusters, five speed (not six) chain drive (not drive shaft) two valve / single cam, cable operated clutch, just the last (best) of a run of pedestrian four cylinder 650 bikes that started in'79. As a Honda technician, I can say they had very few problems. There is one however, they tend to wear the head cover and make valve noise. it can be cured with a procedure that is somewhat costly. If it makes valve noise, I'd pass. Don't get me wrong, I liked mine. Is it a step up for you ? Yes, but it's only about half of what the '83~'85 bikes were. 21K is quite a bit for one of those. Mine had about 8K on it when I sold it for $1100 back in '87. Me ? I'd wait for a good '85.

To: "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, July 2, 2009, 11:33 PM I have an offer on my 85 450 Nighthawk for an 82 650 Nighthawk. The 650 has 21000mi and just "needs the seat recovered" and possibly the master cylinder. My 450 needs another carb rebuild since the 1st guy didn't do it right the the gas tank creamed. It has 10685mi on it. Would it be a good trade since I do want a bigger bike?? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
