You're pretty optimistic Allen on the resale of any model 1982
Nighthawk. A pristine, low mileage 83-85 CB650SC might fetch $2000.
I'll show you what I mean on Friday, Graham

A non running bike is worth significantly less than a running one,
as the buyer is assuming a much larger risk that there are serious
issues. My suggestion is get it ready for inspection if you can do
the work yourself. You will make more money on it that way. In the
condition you are describing I would probably not pay more than
$700. Here is why New tires and mounting is a good $250, new fork
seals and bushings $100, Air filter $40, Oil/filter/plugs $40,
Battery $50, brake lines $100, Carbs $?? (depending on if they need
rebuild kits, or professional cleaning), Total=1280+. The bike in
ready to ride condition should be worth $1500 to $2000 (at least
around here DC metro). If a buyer is not mechanically talented then
the costs would be much higher and they would be more likely to
just buy a bike in better condition.

Hi Larry, you didn't mention which Nighthawk you own. That's pretty
important information when determining resale value.

Hello fellow Nighthawk Lovers,
I have had my original college bike 1982 Honda Night Hawk (blue) in
storage for the past 8 years and am moving and need to sell it. (owned
since 1990) Wondering what this original classic bike is worth?
I have not fired it up yet but hope to soon. Ran well when put in
garage storage.
20,330 Original Miles
Clean Title
Good Condition (small ding on top of tank)
4 into 1 Kerker Race Exhaust (black)
Will Need Tires, Fork Seals, and Tune Up due to long garage storage.
Cover included.
Hate to get rid of the bike but need to before the move.
Any interested parties please feel free to contact me
