Word came down today that my car, a 1998 Civic, has a head gasket failure, and since I can't afford a car payment, that means I have to sell my beloved 2003 Honda Nighthawk 750 with about 27,500 miles on the odometer.
Before you shed a tear for me, don't feel too bad. I was thinking of selling my baby already. I bought her to make her into a budget touring bike, and I just haven't had time to ride her because I am too busy working on a master's degree. A few things to know: I bought this bike used with 6,000 miles on the odometer several years back, and I have kept up with the maintenance until recently. I change the oil every 4,000 miles using synthetic oil. I recently replaced the spark plugs and the chain is not new, but it it is in fairly new condition, with a lot of miles before it needs replacing. It is an OEM sealed o-ring chain. Throughout the time I've owned the bike, storing it with E-10 in the tank has led to stuck floats in the carbs. They always come unstuck with fresh fuel and some gentle riding, but I recommend the next owner get the carbs cleaned and synchronized. I've made several upgrades to the bike, and all accessories are included with it. I have the stock seat and a Corbin seat. I have a small National Cycle street shield for hot weather riding to keep the bugs off me, and I have a National Cycle plexifairing for cold weather riding and long rides that offers so much protection that I can duck behind it in the rain and stay mostly dry. I have strap-on luggage (saddle bags and a back seat bag) and I've installed engine guards on and highway pegs mounted on them. I also installed a Fram Sure Drain valve in place of the oil drain plug to make oil changes easy. I had special threads cut in order to install the drain valve, so I suggest you leave it in. I installed a center stand and Kuryakyn iso-grips, although the iso-grips never fit right. They are a little shorter than the stock grips, but they're so comfortable that I never got around to replacing them. It came with a sissy bar that I removed and sold, so there are a couple slots cut out of the plastic body at the back of the seat, but they're aren't very noticeable. I got tired of kicking the sissy bar every time I mounted the bike. I'm asking $2,500 for the bike and all accessories and I live in Vero Beach, FL. If you would like more info, please send an e-mail to me at [email protected]. I sold my last bike in Craig's List, but I thought I would post this one here first, giving you guys a shot in the hope that it lands with a true Nighhawk lover. If it doesn't sell in a week or two, I'll post a Craig's List ad. If I get time, I will post pictures here later today. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
