The 750 Nighthawk is a 463-pound standard-style motorcycle powered by a bulletproof, ir-cooled, 47cc, nline 4-cylinder engine.

The 750 Nighthawk is an ideal commuter/everyday bike for a large number of riders. Her full-size chassis (59.3-inch wheelbase), ong dual seat (30.9 inches high) and upright ergonomics make her comfortable for both rider and passenger. With 75 hp (at 8500 rpm), he has plenty of oomph.

I bought her as a secondary bike last summer from a friend who was desperate to sell because he was moving overseas. The bike was pretty neglected -- so I started taking her apart and fixing her up.

I rebuilt

1) the front fork,

2) the carburetors, nd

3) the front brake.

I replaced

1) all four turn signals (OEM),

2) valve cover gasket (OEM),

3) spark plugs (with high performance plugs),

4) air filter (with a higher quality, ifetime warranty K&N filter),

5) engine oil and filter.

I removed all the rust from the headlight bucket and the headers/muffler, nd covered some parts with protective, igh-heat paint. I also de-rusted and re-galvanized a bunch of bolts and nuts.

The chain and sprockets, s well as the tires have plenty of life left in them.

I really enjoyed giving the Nighthawk a make-over but I am just not into riding her (my primary bike is a Honda CB600F). I rode her for less than 200 miles since I bought her. She has been sitting in a cozy barn in Maryland all winter, nd is now looking for a new home.

The bike shows a little bit of wear in a few places but doesn't have any dents or big scratches. The left fiberglass side panel has a 3-inch tear that I fixed - it was most likely caused by a previous owner removing the panel carelessly.

All the chrome parts are super-shiny (check out the photos).

The engine is indestructible and won't need any maintenance (except the occasional oil change) for a looooong time.

Email me if you're interested, ou're welcome to test-ride the bike. Please include your phone number in your email.
