Entered the 82 650 Nighthawk in a local bike show today and came in 2nd for Vintage bike class! But there were only 4 vintage bikes that showed up in total  My buddy won it with his 79 CX 500. We had fun though. Saw a rare Honda Super Magna (Owner said they only made them 2 years) His was an 88 Also a cool painter who does custom painting. |

One of my best friends had a Super Magna. I rode it once and dragged the foot pegs. It sat low. He traded in for 1982 550 CX Turbo that out performed the Super Magna. Both are awesome bikes.

The bike looks really nice. IMHO, you should have taken 1st place. I'm biased towards the NH's though.  |

Congrats!
My husband rides an 88 Super Magna, he loves it. I think there's only two others in the entire province.

Congrats on your 2nd place. I would have voted you #1 Agreed. What a gorgeous historical jewel you have there, one of the first Nighthawks and last SOHC 4! Congrats! |

Thanks everyone. Now my wife wants to keep it for sure with everyone making a fuss over it  I really do like playing around with it but being her main bike it sometimes is not easy wrenching on a 30 year old bike and keeping it going all the time. There are a few mechanical flaws I need to iron out and some warts and such you can't see. |
