Thats a nice 900C Hondo..!! Guess it's time to start that shim collection for adjusting the valves.. Thats the only thing I didn't like about the 750, 900 and 1100 engines.. I would rather have adjustable valves.. Nice find.. How much if you don't mind letting everyone know, did ya pay for that bad girl?

My buddy bought one of those last spring. It was a pretty sweet ride. I had to drive it home for him, since he didn't have his endorsement yet. Very smooth and comfortable. I found that I didn't use the lower range other than to try it out. I would imagine hauling something like a trailer, it may be more useful. Enjoy |

That bike looks in beautiful condition, from the picture the pipes, paint and chrome looks almost immaculate. Great find.  |

Yeah, I joined up over there.
Now here's something cool-
As well as some spare & unused new parts/hardware, I also got the full tool kit, Honda Air guage, owner's manual, original service manual and get this - Assembly Instructions.
That blew me away when I saw those!

The styling sure holds up for a twenty-five year old bike. A bit more power than the KLR, I'd imagine. |

Awesome bike there! Just a random question. Do you know of anything on that bike that would be interchangeable to the 82 Honda Nighthawk 750 that I could change out to give me more power or a better look? Probably a really ignorant question to ask, but hey, I'm throwin it out there anyway.
