Nighthawk S Articles
Enrolled under the UJM banner, the Nighthawk S is a balance of tradition and innovation, a clean break from the kind of success through sameness that carried that SHOOK 750 through the `70s. Tradition dictates the 700S use an air-cooled four-cylinder engine carried transversely in a full-cradle, twin-shock frame, but modern technology has provided Honda engineers with greater latitude within the UJM concept. The Nighthawk S engine, which uses not a single part from the old, is considerably smaller in every dimension-top to bottom, side to side, front to back-and lighter than the 750F DOHC power-plant by 17 pounds despite its hydraulic valve apparatus, overdrive sixth gear, and shaft final drive. So how did Honda shrink the Nighthawk engine into such a compact cube? Oversquare bore and stroke dimensions are part of the answer. Exploited to the fullest, a reduction in stroke can decrease an engine's overall height.

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.

Good bits about the nighthawk includes good rust-resistant paint and chrome, and a fair amount of stainless steel in the engine. It's easy to maintain, largely because of the lack of parts - all mechanical apparatus without hydraulics - brakes, clutch, etc.
Women and Their Motorcycles
Motorcycle manufactures are becoming aware of the growing market and the buying power that women have and are now designing bikes to accommodate a woman rider. Motorcycle brands favored by women are Harley-Davidson, Suzuki^(R), Ducati, Honda, BMW, Kawasaki and Yamaha. Harley-Davidson has come out with many bikes that are suitable for womens physique like the Sportster, the DynaGlide Low-rider, and the XL 1200 Custom. A few of the Kawasaki line of motorbikes include the Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Drifter, a cruiser mode and Kawasaki Ninja^(R) 250R and Kawasaki Ninja^(R) 500R which are both more of a sport motorcycle bike, and the Kawasaki ZZR600. Getting into the game is Honda with the Honda Nighthawk 250cc or the Honda Rebel 250cc.
Honda Nighthawk 750 Motorcycle Report Test Review Article Reprint ...
A lot of effort had been put in by the American Honda market research department to try to determine what type of machine the American public wanted to buy. The overall motorcycle market had been shrinking, and of the remaining sales, Honda's share had been eaten away by the other manufacturers. The Nighthawk 750 was an attempt to re-kindle the kind of successes the motorcycle market had seen in the glory days of the 1970's. Honda was prepared to lose money on the Nighthawk, and market the machine at an unbeatable price. Honda raided the parts bins to put the machine together, using the CBX750 engine and styling from the early to mid 80's Nighthawks. It was meant to be somehow 'familiar' to motorcyclists from the late 60's onwards. Price was to be sub $4000. Maintenance requirements were to be kept to a minimum.
