D-VO Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 So I'm THAT guy that owns two cars and a motorcycle in the city now. Picked up this 1985 Nighthawk 650SC for $900, put a new battery and fresh gas in it and now it runs. Woohoo! Got some more things to do to this to get it commute ready. This and the Starion will get me to work from April-October. Any of you SQ dudes ride on two wheels? http://i.imgur.com/qQaic.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a torch or heat gun to that back fender where it has started to marbalize with white (from being bent) and if you do it slowly and carefully it will bring the blue color back out of it. did that trick for years when my yamahas were blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchi934 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 my dad has a flywheel weight on the 450 and it makes it a little more manageable in the trails, but its still not as nice as a 300 or 250 would be in the trails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) You're making me jealous and sad LOL. I started out riding a 73 Kawasaki and a 83 Nighthawk, but then I owned this for a few years... http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/10087/DSCF0001~6.JPG 97 750. I eventually sold it for a few reasons but have regretted it ever since. Now that I'm in TX where I could ride all year round, I've been looking for another, but it has to be a 95-99 GSXR 750. I love the style and they're one of the most comfortable sportbikes I have ridden. Keep the rubber side down!
