Got my first bike! A 1984 Honda CB450 Nighthawk!


http://imgur.com/gallery/2aSepcEJust got my very first motorcycle, and I think I made a good choice. The seller was super nice, and he gave me a pretty good price for it. It's in great shape, no rust, everything works except the headlight, going to pull the wiring out of the headlight bowl and see if I can find the problem, I checked the bulb with my multimeter and it's still good, so I suspect it's a fuse or relay or even just corroded connections.Anyway though, spent about an hour riding around my neighbourhood getting a feel for it, and I'm quite happy with how it handles. It's heavier than the Yamaha TX250 I rode on the MSF but nothing unmanagable. More power than the 250 as well, but again, still within my comfort zone. Decent power at the low end is a plus, I don't think I went above 4000 RPM to get it up to 60 Km/h. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/ct9lde/got_my_first_bike_a_1984_honda_cb450_nighthawk/?utm_source=ifttt
