Hey everybody!
I've been looking at a few Honda Nighthawks ranging in years '83-'85. I've read good things but have also heard some not so great things about owning an older bike. This would be my first bike and I'd like it to last me a while and spend more time riding than wrenching, not to mention worry about the bike crapping out on me while I'm out for a cruise with my friends. If anyone has some knowledge or experience with 83-85 Nighthawk 650's any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, whats an average cost for a carb clean for a Nighthawk 650? I went to a local Honda dealer and the guy said $380 plus parts. Is that good? Sounds a little high if you ask me. Help me out, I'm new! Thanks!
