Here you have to complete bikes with good titles. They don't run. The one in the foreground main bearings are chucked the one in the background has just been sitting. Also included are 2 parts bikes, complete with engines, 1 set carbs, 2 full sets of exhaust pipes, 2 frames, 2 back wheels. A lot of parts for one low low price! I can't guarantee the condition of the parts engines, you would probably want to rebuild one or find a crashed running bike to put in. Call Robert 206 715 7915

Up for consideration are a pair of mid-eighties Honda Nighthawks. From the sound of the posting, it seems that one could be a runner with a little work and you get a parts bike with extras. This iteration of the Nighthawk was produced from 1984 - '86 and for their time were pretty kick-ass. Hydraulic valves and a shaft drive reduced maintenance and were a little extra tech for the day; even now twenty-three years later a shaft-driven bike in any major manufacturer's catalog is difficult to find.
The word that I've heard is that Honda produced the 700cc motor to skirt recently enacted Reagan import tariffs imposed to benefit America's perennial retard of the motorbike industry; Harley. I don't have hard numbers but I'd bet dollars to donuts that this 700cc Nighthawk would have embarrassed an 883cc Sportster into hiding in any sort of performance comparison.
Personally, I really dig the styling of these bikes. The angular lines of this Nighthawk series and a few other Jap bikes of the same era really do it for me. Add the optional colour-matched chin scoop and I'd swoon.
