The Honda Nighthawk Motorcycle was first released in 1982. Initially, there were three, relatively chunky looking 450cc, 650cc and 750cc models. The design was based upon their much famed CB Bikes, which had been in production since 1969. Even so, the changes in spec and style were enough to warrant them to be classed as a entirely new model.
