I own one. At 75, I'm still riding. Been riding since I was a teen. Bikes have came a long way since. But the principal is the same. Thanks for sharing.
This is good bike to ride? I want buy one. school me about that bike i seen two 1991 1992. I used to have honda cb400n 1982 i was the third owner never i had problems
@@haralaboslukatos6734 I have the EU version Seven Fifty and I think it's an awesome bike. I got mine for 1100€. Before that I had an Honda NTV 650 (Honda NT 650 HAWK) and it was a good beginners bike for 600€ I paid for it. Then I wanted something that didn't look late 80's so I bought a Seven Fifty which is just a really good bike which requires low maintenance (hydraulic tappets) so no need to check tappet clearances which was a pain on the front cylinder on the NTV.
thank you for the answer. No have bike few years but i used to have honda cb400n 1982. Now i am ready to buy again bike and i want something bigger size engine i can use on local roads but is can be good for highways too.
@@motoboymatt it can easily do 9 grand maybe even 10 but I have no clue, havent pushed mine that hard nor do I know if it makes any power since its max HP is 8500
@@jeffrygagnon5506 ah, I'm much lighter than I used to be at around 145 pounds compared to 160 but there too speed on the 99s was said to be 127 with a professional rider. But some of the night Hawks later on probably put more power to the wheels. When I get mine tuned good and running great again I'll test it out and see what I get. I think the gearing in the Nighthawks isn't the best for top speed but for acceleration they are amazing but my friends 81 gsx750 weights over 100 pounds more and makes 80 HP and 35 pound feet of tourqe but it's geared great for top speed and he has done 125 and it'll run from the factory at the same quarter mile time.
@@jeffrygagnon5506 but I am curious to see if it can turn 10 grand but I just don't want to try it with 40k miles and I had no clue if it made power in redline so thanks for the info, I bet with better valve springs it might be better but I doubt they sell any aftermarket performance stuff like that. I guess some of the newer cb650s might have interchangable parts

I just bought a 1995 cb750 Nighthawk, It came with a Yoshimura 4 into 1 header, and rejeted the carb's and my son who just bought a 883 harley, he asked his dad, "How do you take off ramp's at 70 mph.He said dad you dusted me, I raced Motocross in the 70's, I said I have no fear>
@@jeffrygagnon5506 how fast have you ever gotten, I bough one a bit back I got two for 700 bucks and I'm tuning the carbs atm. I was curious on how high they can rev up I dont want to push it past 9k let alone 8500 since that's the max HP and o have no clue if it makes more. A dude told me he got his nighthakw up to 135
Bought a used 92 in 98 with 13, 000. Now has 130,000 plus mi. Routine maintenance: oil, chain & sprockets, tires, head cover gasket, fork seals, battery, ignition switch, starter brushes, front wheel bearings, clutch cable, brake pads -front only, air filter, spark plugs, seat recover, and mid-grade gas. I will buy another one if this one ever wears out.
I purchased a used 1993 750 blue nighthawk with 3600 miles today at 15,000 miles upgrade to the Vance & Hines exhaust. I love this bike never needed to move up it sounds sweet now. I had it up to 115 & 20 mph still had more.
Great choice. I've had both, each has its advantages. Nighthawk CB650SC is technologically advanced over the US spec CB750 Nighthawk. Double disc front brakes, hydraulic clutch. wide range 6 speed transmission, shaft drive, gear indicator, fuel gauge, more compact for smaller riders, arguably better sounding. Don't get me wrong, the CB750 Nighthawk is an amazing parts bin type bike, it holds its own. But most of all, I wish the 750 NH had a wide range 6 speed transmission.
Is this Troy's ghost who left the comment? Because Troy would be dead if he actually hit 140. Even if you took the governor off this bike isn't capable of it LOL
On my 1991 nighthawk 750, jetted with the vance n hines 4 n 1 and moto gp shorty i hit 140. she had more but i did not. mine was cafe style, clips ons diff tank and seat pan. so was a tad lighter weight too.
I've just bought an american import nighthawk (to the UK) as the bike is so much better looking then the UK cb750 its been known as a plodder (slow and unresponsive ) But the engine and the way you rode it has impressed me with your ability and what the bike can do.I cant wait for the spring to do the same as the vid..fantastic.can i ask whats the gadget in the centre of the handle bars is and what it does
All you guys talking about the sound, need to check out McNuggets CB750 cafe ride here on RU-vid. It’s a good 15 minutes of back roads, riding the twisties. You can close your eyes and listen to it over and over. 😎
How is your NH so much faster than mine? Im amazed by how much range you have on second gear for example. Did you re-jet it? If yes what stage you used? What a dream!
To all who commented on the sound: it sounds like my CB750 NH without the baffles. Sounded better than the 4 into 1 that I tried. Would the content creator care to comment?
sorry for the late reply sir, the washer mod page has been taken down. it was recommended to add #4 size stainless steel washers from Radioshack under each main jet needle. It would be a cheap fix for tuning out aftermarket exhausts... at least for the low and mid range rpms.. If you could afford it. just get the aftermarket 1st stage jetting kits on Ebay. My country is just too strict on illegal aftermarket exhausts... mine is as quiet as a whisper. Stock. Anyways. read that with the washer mod and aftermarket pipes. the nighthawk would pull power wheelies in 2nd gear.
I own a 99 cb750. The tach doesn't work, which I don't care about so I've never fixed it. Other than that I've never had a problem with it. The cb750 is one of the most reliable bikes out there.
I have a 93 that I picked up with only 3k miles... I love this bike... it will go when you want.. Cruises nice but hard on the face without a windshield. Only critique on the video is he did not have gloves on... dont wont to be doing a Pete Rose down the street without gloves dude!
Windshield is key. I get pushed back and feel like I'm hanging onto the tailgate of a truck. My bars are damn near staright with not much lift. Always in tuck position. Changing that soon. Did 109 miles today, 36.2mpg When I stomp it, low 30's mpg
What exhaust are you running? I have a black 92. Read all the forums and did the airbox mod and drilled the baffles where the forums said to squeeze that extra little bit Honda hid from us. It's time to do a 4-1 exhaust on it. Yours sounds great.
i cant find a commetn asking, SOOO i need to know, i just picked up a 1982 cb750sc nighthawk What handle Bars are those?? do you know?? i love them im not a fan of the stock angled ones
@Cullen Guimond um, the 99s made 77 hp and almost 70 to the rear wheels, with a right tune and pods and exhaust itll make a little over 80 without the evap system. And also the 90s nighthawks weight much less than the 80s, the early 70s weight the same at around 460 pounds but then mid 70s they shot up to 570 pounds and kn the 90s they cut some weight of of them.
@Cullen Guimond and a jet kit on a 90s night hawk will give you better performance than the 80s versions. The head profile and cams are better designed and the carbs can be jetted a lot but without a good exhaust it will only get so much. But the stock exhausts are great
@Cullen Guimond a dude had a 1992 night hawk and its dynoed 67-70 to the rear wheels and it had around 30k and it was mostly stock besides the exhaust and pod filters
Well i have new news...I took out the inserts in the mufflers and quess what ? it sounds just like this bike here...im in shock to how good it sounds ...I don.t know if its because i have a 1997 or what ...I called every Honda dealer there is and 80% said the bike will run fine WITH OUT a rejet kit... Everybody said after 100 miles to check the plugs to make sure they are not white as to burning to lean..After 500 miles and loving the sound i put the inserts/baffles back in because i lost 40% of power...unlike most bikes my pipes are not wide open with the baffles out..The baffle holes are only the size of your thumb there fore you still have plently of back pressure.. Even with a rejet kit i will gain horse power BUT lose Torque ..So nothing you do will be as fast as the factory pipes with baffles.. im loving the speed so i quess they stay in...You really can.t hang on the bike when cracking 2nd gear coming out of 1st ...Maybe its a 1997 special ? Maybe i got a good one ? But it will take at least a 900 cc rocket or more to out run me.. i.ll find out ..All i know is this night hawk i have fly's...
no. even a modern 600 cc sport bike will chew up a nighthawk and spit it out i had a cb599 that would beat its acceleration and top speed in 3rd gear. not that the night hawk is not fast but its not that fast.
Well John i out run a older 600cc ninja already.. With each gear i just kept pulling away by alot...We started as a roll off in 1st so the driver had nothing to do with it...Maybe my 97 is built ? it does idel rough and that would be a high lift cam in a car..it doesn.t smooth out until 3k rpm..I ran a 1991 ZR-11 Kaw but only 1st and 2nd and had to let off in 3rd..We stayed side by side BUT you could tell he was about to leave me.. Anybody ever had a night hawk that you can.t hang on to when cracking open 2nd gear and the front wheel comes off the ground ? Mine does...
I love the 80 and 90s bikes simple and very loud hooligan bike yes sir .all I ride is these or v twin 1200/883 sp.simple and cheap..may because I like my girls the same way simple and cheap.. well you can still find a motorcycle that simple simple and cheap to the other thing who knows doubt it.lmao😂😂😂😂
nice bike. sounds good. fyi you don't need the clutch. once get to 2nd gear just release the throttle a little and change to the next gear. you'll see the difference. ride safe.
John Washington the guy who had it before me put a vance and hines on it i hate it wish it was stock because he never re jetted the carbs to run with the pipe.
They are great bikes, they can go over 100k with just maintenance like oil and filter changes. They can hold there own to sinc ethey run a 0-60 in 4 secounds and a quarter in about 12-13 secounds depending on the rider. But and average rider and get 12 secounds. It's not fast in today's standards but it can keep up and even beat some bikes
have not had this bike for about a year but i think 70 mph was about 5000 rpm please some one correct me if im wrong i wont be offended. it had a vance and hines exhaust full system.
Nope,Your spot-on john!!! I have a 2001 with a stock-exhaust and at 70mph, in top-gear,it hits RIGHT AT 5-grand almost perfectly!!! :) btw,your V&H exhaust is MUSIC to the ears man!!!
