Found a black '93 Honda Nighthawk 750 in great shape, 44k mi, all stock, a Givi windshield, new tires and recent carb overhaul, and got it for a good price. Two bike owner now! I like it for its lightweight, good power, nimble, easy to ride. I wish it had a six-speed, it's geared kinda short. I may change sprockets, we'll see. I've already debaffled the stock pipe, its nice and growly now, and wrapped the grips with bicycle bar tape.

I'll get some pics and a bit of video as soon as I relocate my digital camera (my phone is a stone-age flip burner). Thanks for the congrats and thumbs up, id-man and Mick56!

Finding having (4) four Motorcycles is about all I can find the time to ride -- I use the Burgan 650 Executive for the shorter rides and around Town as it is so light and yet nimble and quick http://goo.gl/GlcC2T Have a ST1300 Police Special with solo Saddle -- Wife calls it my freedom Machine. It is a great handling Motorcycle yet has storage and crash bars to protect for a tip overs. http://goo.gl/cyRDht My Nomad Motorcycle is great for those laid back easy cruising days whether one or two up -- besides it is the Motorcycle many think is the best looking. http://goo.gl/AjI2ko My Goldwing has to be the best two up Motorcycle invented for those long Tours be it long weekend or coast to coast -- yes mine has over 140,000 and has never run better. http://goo.gl/TuPnWK Just click the links to see the pictures to prove yes it did happen. Northern Dancer, Regards, Ron

Ron, I gotta ask, what is that sticking up behind the passenger seat?
Looks like a windshield of some sort. What is its purpose?

It would have be some peculiar rain for it to be any use.

Yeah, it looks like a ST1300P. It's a popular authority bike as is the R1200RT-P. I see them all the time down here.
