This is not an '82. Honda first introduced the CB650SC as a '83 model and kept it in the U.S. lineup until '86. The '82 and prior model Nighthawks lacked this model's shaft drive, DOHC, four-valve heads, hydraulic valve tensioners, TRAC anti-dive w/air adjustable forks and digital gear-position indicator (plus other changes). Mine only had ~ 6k miles when I purchased her from the original owner, but I added another 23k+ miles over the next 4 years. Never experienced any significant problems it after I cleaned and adjusted the carburetors. I owned my midnight blue '83 model for about four years back in the early 90's. Sold her to a neighbor in '95 after purchasing my '94 Honda ST1100. He still owns her but has ridden her rarely in the 26 years since I believe she still only has a little more than 30k miles and I've been tempted to re-purchase her or restoration,. However I already have too many toys (cars, boats and motorcycles) to take care of and don't have much time for projects. Also, about six months ago the neighbor moved her from inside his garage to outside under the eaves in front of the folding doors where she has only been partially protected from the effects of the sun's rays and weather ever since. What a crying shame....
Take one look at the dash and it just screams 1980's with the orange needles on the grid backdrop. Love these bikes!
Perfect starter bike's I have one identical my son has a cbr600rr he rode the ol nighthawk and about shit he says dad I didn't know these old bikes were that fast I started laughing son these are the bikes that started your cbr600rr no they might not be as fast as a new sport bike but they are still fast enough to have fun I'll ride mine from Michigan to Florida before a newer cbr600rr your not laying over the bike
It’s so clean it looks wet. Beautiful color on this one too.
Had an 85 CB650SC too. This was a real smooth bike. Loved the hydraulic valves and shaft drive. Virtually maintenance free. And they are really quick bikes too.
Bought mine in 1993, ran it 100,120 miles. Finally had to retire it from daily rideing in 2012 when the #3 cylinder started loosing compression and the transmission lost 5th gear. I got the transmission fixed, but new parts are drying up and even used parts are hard to find, so I only ride it to vintage bike shows or whenever I feel nostalgic. Even with that weak cylinder, it runs like a champ.
My dad had an 83 650 Nighthawk. Great bike. I can still remember how that bike smelled when he brought it home new.
One of my first street bikes. Smoothest bike I ever driven and a total joy to drove. It's actually pretty nimble for what it is
Thanks for making the video, hearing the sound of the engine is a real plus for a potential buyer. I owned a 1985 CB650SC Nighthawk, purchased new from the local dealer. The one for sale here is in very good condition, however, the cam chain does sound like there is an issue, very evident at low RPM. The cam chain tensioner most likely needs to be replaced before something worse happens internally. Any potential buyer should be aware of that generation (1983-1985) of 650 Nighthawks are known to have cam chain tensioner issues. Otherwise it's in really good condition for a 34 year old model, it appears to have been taken care of over its life. I personally prefer the look of the OEM seat, hand grips, and turn signals as well, but those are not difficult items to swap out for OEM parts. All that said, for the right price it should sell.
good looking solid bikes that run forever
My dads favorite bike. He said it was fast and he wasnt joking by the looks of it. He is nowhere close to tacking it out and he is zooming along pretty good.
that thing sounds Sweet! awesome condition. My uncle had a 650, back in 85/86ish. i remember it. was too young to try it out @ the time 13 yrs old.
Had one back in the day, a great city bike and overall cruising
Always wear a helmet,long pants, a leather jacket and gloves !!!!! Been hit twice at low speed and without gear my hands , face and back would of been “SKINNED “ 💥
I have that same bike, same color too!
You do a great impression of your father, holy crap!
Those older Nighthawks look nice.
Great year on Honda 80's were great
That's an 85, the 82 was a SOHC
I bought a new one in '85. It was Cranberry candy red. Wish to God I kept it. Aside from color it had 4 damping settings a on a dial at the top of the rear shock.
Picked an '85 up in that color this year with 8k miles on it. Great bike!
@@clintbeeler5069 I'm envious
These nighthawks 83' on are getting very expensive because they are so reliable. People are collecting them. in Utah they are getting $3-4k now.
Great llittle bike. I had one when I started riding in the early 2000's. REsotred it to pristine condition. Added an aftermarket exhaust. Great on the low end but it pooped out around 80 mph on the freeway.
I've had one of these since it was almost new in this same beautiful blue pearlescent color. It's still bone stock and looks like a million bucks after 38 years on the road. If you take care of a Honda, it'll last you a lifetime.
Got one of these bad boys
Fast little scoot back in the day, I bought the 700 Nighthawk S instead....both cool bikes
Love that intro! Now that’s a salesman, subliminally suggesting “buy this bike and you too can have a hot chick jumping on with you “😆 --and why not? That bike was tight!!! Looks brand new
Best bike I have ever owned beautiful
i love that blue color
My first bike. Loved it but it couldn't get me much over 80 mph.
There's one for sale where i live for about 2.2k euro.
And i am so tempted to just go and get it but i am doubtful, how good would this bike be for a large rider who'd be cruising around town and every now and then on the "Big" roads?
Im 6ft1 and weigh 130kg.
same height, but 100kg. has plenty of power in the city, on the highway wind becomes an issue. it can easily accompany 130kg with that big seat and comfortable suspension
Love those bikes.
They need to pave that road
That is an awesome looking bike!
I looked at one of these yesterday. The clutch pull looked somewhat bent out without any sign of dropping. The owner wants to bend it to match the brake pull on the right. But when the clutch lever shows on any video, it looks like they all have that slight difference. What’s up?
82 or 85 then? nice survivor!
This one is from '83-'85. The '82 bikes were a SOHC setup and the one here is a DOHC.
Nice roads
I'd like to have one of these.
Awesome beautiful bike and review, all the best.
Yo man what was that you with at 7:16 of the video. I have a 85 650 but for me thats my fuel wirh on/off/res
Excellent sound bro amezing 😮😮😮😮😮sound 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
'85 650 Nighthawk was my first street bike. The inline fours of the 80s & 90s are far too maligned. Looking at a 450 Nighthawk as my next city ripper.
Where is Kaplan America?
I had 1 they're great bikes
I would love the instrument panel and head light on my 82 Magna V45
Do you guys do repairs on bikes that old?
Purrtty bike!
How tall are you? Trying to get a feel for size by a tall person!
I have one and I'm 6'5". It feels very comfortable and my legs are nice and relaxed, not cramped at all. Arms are also at a good distance and very comfortable.
Title is wrong. It’s a 1985 not a 1982
What is the price
That road looks really crappy. Please be careful!
Never never never wear shorts on a motorcycle
No la vendes for sale saludos desde panama

I want to see the gpz1100
