1997 Honda Nighthawk 750 and Nighthawk Motorcycles

There's probably no single food that you'd happily eat every day in and day out for the rest of your life. But there is a bike you could happily ride for years: Honda's Nighthawk 750 . Its air-cooled inline four-cylinder is almost mythical in its perfect blend of power, smoothness, simplicity, light weight, and phenomenal reliability. The combination of a comfortable seating position that makes equal sense after an hour on the back roads or a day on the highway, room for a passenger, and smooth handling all lend credibility to the old adage that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Looking for your first motorcycle is a piece of cake: You don't even have to struggle over color choice. Because Honda's 1997 Nighthawk, with its gloss black finish, is the uncontested, hands-down winner. Featuring a classic, parallel-twin engine, a first-time rider will immediately notice the low seat height, light weight, and manageable size.
