No Reserve: 1982 Honda CB650SC Nighthawk

This 1982 Honda CB650SC Nighthawk, from Wisconsin, USA, is a classic motorcycle with distinct features. It's part of Honda's CB series, known for their sporty and reliable rides, and this particular model sports the 'SC' trim level, often associated with its unique seating position and fairing enhancements compared to other variants like the 'C' or 'N'. Manufactured in Hamamatsu, Japan, in 1982, it's powered by a fuel-efficient petrol engine with a displacement of 655cc, featuring four cylinders arranged inline, Dual Overhead Camshafts (DOHC) for efficient performance, and delivering up to 53 horsepower. The bike is equipped with a rugged shaft drive transmission with five gears, which provides ample power to the rear wheel while reducing maintenance compared to traditional chain drives. Weighing approximately 140 kg, this Nighthawk falls into the Class 1A category of vehicles (up to 3,000 lbs or approx. 1,360 kg), offering adequate maneuverability despite its road-hugging frame suitable for urban and highway rides alike. Safety-wise, while it lacks modern features like a backup camera or adaptive cruise control, it still holds charm with its vintage appeal, relying on traditional skills and reflexes for safe riding in its day.
