Hello From Philadelphia!

#1 Unread post by -Holiday »

Hey there,
Just thought i'd sign in. I just picked up an 82 Honda CB750sc Nighthawk.
Pics of it can be found here:

http://www.bustedjeep.com/cb/bike.htm

Its got 10K miles and is in great condition. It's just getting a new stator put and, and getting tagged and inspected right now. I'm hoping for many years of reliable riding out of it. I got it primarily to commute and save some gas money. My Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep CJ on 35's dont do so good in that department :)
I've had late 70's honda 4 cyl 500's before, but those were back in my college days. Since I havent ridden in 5 years or so, i'm taking the Motorcycle class my DMV gives, later this month, with my girlfriend. She's talking it since she'll be driving her 76 Vespa Rally 200 around soon :)

Anyway, i'm super excited about riding again, and CAN NOT WAIT to go actually pick my bike up and ride it home. Should be about a week for the part to come in.

So, HI!

Here's a pic from the link i posted above.

p.s. does anyone else here have/had one of these? What do you think of it? Love to hear from you...

Nice looking bike, Brian! It should give you miles of smiles! No doubt it's going to be more powerful than what you were used to, so take it easy while you become acquainted!

Welcome to the site!

:welcome:
Let me get this straight... it's one down and four up, right?
