nighthawk info?

[haystak]

Just need a little advice . I am looking at a 1984 Nighthawk 750S and was wondering if anyone can give me some tips on what to keep an eye out for. It has approximately 68k on it and appears to be in very good shape . The price is $2500 Can.

Had an '84 700SC (thanks, Harley!). Seemed pretty bullet-proof. Mine had a minor oil leak via the shift-shaft seal but, other than that, just regular maintenance.

Thanks for the info. By the way nice NH S.

I just bought an '84 750S in November. It had about 40k on it and i paid $2000; of course I had to turn around and put on new rubber right away though.
So far I love this bike! It doesn't do anything particularly well or spectacularly bad, its just a well rounded ride that's a lot of fun.
They used to call it the maintenance free motorcycle, and so far I haven't had any problems with it at all, although I'm beginning to suspect the clutch a bit so will be taking it in soon to get it looked at.

I am now the proud owner of 84 750S and she sounds sweet. Just have to get it home now,but the search is finally over as well as winter. I hope anyways,we had snow on the ground this mourning.

Congratulations haystack, many safe and happy trails to you. If you have a third as much fun on yours as I'm having with mine, you'll be well pleased with your 'new' bike.

BTW, I have no idea what your riding experience is, but I can't recommend the MSF course highly enough, even for an experienced rider.

yeah, i quite liked the Nighthawk S styling. Seems like it'd be a great standard bike. The subtle body sculpting of tail, bikini fairing and fuel tank shape combined with the lines of the paint scheme really *make* the look. I'm partial to the blue ones, but the red looks good, even with soft bags, etc.
