    I have only ridden motorcycles a few times, always just rode 4 wheelers. Thought one of these would be fun to ride around downtown.

    I've been dying to get my hands on a XS650 to turn into a bobber. Just got to sneak it into my "man cave". I'm not aloud to have a motorcycle. But I would love to restore one of them old hondas.

    I love vintage bikes, primarily the late 60-80's honda motorcycles, but do like the suzukis of similar year from the 70's to mid 80's or so.

    I almost bought a 1981 CB750F super sport but it needed a ton of work.

    But I late found my current bike up near canada.
    mint condition 1984 Honda Nighthawk 700S



    I used to have an '81 CX500 custom, it wasn't mint but it was bulletproof, and It's a fairly uncommon bike to see, i loved this bike a lot, I will own another one day.


    they even made a turbo version of this bike that pumped out 80hp and 13 psi of boost.


    here's a picture of the "competitor to my nighthawk the GS700es


    and here's a sick gs1100es I'd love to have!
