Does anyone know if an '83 Honda Night Hawk CB550-4 that is running well and being sold for 800 bucks is a good deal? I don't have any other details on it but in general, is that a good price or is that too low or too high? I was thinking about maybe making that my first bike. Thanks.
If that's in really good shape and the mileage isn't too high, (in other words, nearly mint) that's not a bad price. If it needs anything at all, or is cosmeticly hurting, I'd offer 500.00
I owned a 75 in the late 70's and it was a great bike. If it runs well and doesn't need to much (tires, rubber and plastic parts) sounds like a pretty good deal. Mine had a vance & hines 4 into 1 pipe so i imagine it was a bit stronger then stock, but still even stock it should be pretty good.
i just bought my 83 cb550 for 975 bucks and i think i got a good deal. mine had 11,000 miles on it and a few cosmetic flaws, but no regrets. the consensus seems to be that hondas make great starter bikes.
once again, thanks guys for the information. The honda I wanted was sold when I contacted the guy, so I couldn't get it. But I'm going to wait until I find another cb550-4, cuz I think I want that as my starter bike since everyone seems to think it's a good one to start with, and because I have a better idea of how much to pay. Thanks again.
