Welcome aboard! The Tahitian Blue is the best color IMHO. Post up some pics, most of us are suffering from stored bike syndrome so we'd love to check out you ride. Has it had any mods done? You lucked out with such a low mileage version in a rare color. These are super reliable bikes, a couple of list members have over 100K, so if you maintain her she will last for many years to come. Most bikes benefit from a jetting kit, or at least the washer mod, and 3 turns out on the fuel screws. Popular upgrades are fork springs, stainless front brake line, and a 16 tooth front sprocket. Uni air filters are popular too. Other than that it is a solid design, and very versatile. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

I bought a '93 Nighthawk 750 18 months ago. It currently has 7,000 miles on it, so it's practically new. I've been looking for a Nighthawk forum, so I'm glad I found the Nighthawk Lovers. My last cycle was a 1983 Kawasaki GPz 550, which was a basket case when I bought it in 2001. I paid more for my helmet than the bike. I spent years taking it from a not-running-heap to a nice looking runner. I told sport-bike riders, "I'm riding your motorcycle's great grandfather", since the GPz was arguably the first true sport bike. I was a regular member & poster on the gpz550.com forum. I enjoy swapping maintenance tips, riding stories, etc. In 2009, a good friend of mine asked me to help him find a good used motorcycle, so he could get back into riding after a 30-year gap. I found the Nighthawk, which had 3,900 miles at the time, on Craigslist. Since the economy was horrible, we were able to get it for only $2,500. Bazinga! In 2011, John said, I'm going to sell my motorcycle, are you interested? My answer was HELL YES! So, I sold the GPz and became a Honda owner. The NH is 10 years newer, but it is so refined, there is very little comparison. About a year ago, I moved from Pennsylvania to South Carolina. The riding season is a LOT longer here (despite the 3" of snow yesterday) and the roads aren't nearly as crowded. So, if you live in Upstate SC and want to ride, give me a holler.
