You're paying probably $1000 more because it is the more rare red,
white and blue model. Fewer of them were made than the other option
in 1986 (black, red and orange). The red, white and blue made up
about 25% of the production line for that year. Mopar Joe could
probably add a lot here as to value and stuff. I have had each of
the three years the 700S was made - 1984, '85 and '86. I currently
have a 1986 black, red and orange with 2600 miles on it. I found my
1984 to be the best running one although I'm sure that's just due to
the individual bikes rather than a year/model characteristic. The
average one I see with less than 20,000 miles in excellent condition
sells for about $2500. I sold my 1984 with 17000 miles on it, in
excellent condition for $2600. Graham

Thank you to all who weighed in on the 80’s vs 90’s NH discussion, it
was very helpful and informative. I am looking at a near new condition
86 Nighthawk ( candy blue and shasta white) with 20,000 miles, always
garaged, never put down, new tires, tuneup, carbueretor servicing
etc... for $ 3600.00. I have never shopped around for this bike model
or year before, and there are not a lot of comparables to compare to,
so I was wondering if any of the more “experienced NH enthusiasts had
any thoughts on the price, or model, as well as any advice? Thank you
very much!
