I'm pretty excited about it. This is my first bike ever. I took the Team Oregon BRT two months earlier then started cruising the local craigslist doing as much research on possible candidates. Until a week ago about when I stumbled upon the winner. A black and red 1986 Honda Nighthawk cb700sc with 21k on the clock. I love the color combo and the riding postion is better than I could have asked for. More power than I'll ever need in a bullet proof maintenance free (aside from the obvious of course) package. Only Picture I've taken thus far.   I rode it for 150 miles the weekend I got it, twas glorious. I have most definitely got the bug. Before putting some serious miles on her the fork seals are being replaced, oil changed, and new spark plugs. I ordered the Origonal MOM and the complete shop manual for it so I should be ready fro whatever comes my way. New rubber comes next spring. Anyways, just thought I'd introduce myself and mah bike.  |

Before I die, I will get an '86 700S. Both ROB and RWB are gorgeous, and yours looks to be a fine example. How many miles, and if you don't mind, how much? |

Before I die, I will get an '86 700S. Both ROB and RWB are gorgeous, and yours looks to be a fine example. How many miles, and if you don't mind, how much? 21,300 miles and I paid $1,800 along with gloves, jacket, helmet, and softbag. The jacket was about three sizes to big though.  |

Beautiful bike. Please don't ever sell it. My first bike was an '84 Nighthawk S. Not a day has gone by since then that I haven't regretted selling it. I love my '93 NH, but would love to have my '84 back.

It's more bike than I'll ever need so I won't need to upgrade at all.  |

Sweet ride! I'm actually making my 84/85 look like yours!
I just painted my frame, engine, covers... I copied the paint of the 86 because I think it's the best looking 'S' out there!
I still need to paint the rims and the orange stripe.
