I actually found a great deal I am jumping on tomorrow morning. 1991 nighthawk 750 for $1800, 36k miles, new chain new tires and runs great. I've always wanted a nighthawk 750 It's not a huge jump up from my ninja 500R, I imagine they perform somewhat similar, but for some reason I've just always wanted one of them. edit: forgot to mention the reason I want a new bike is because my 500R has some extremely-expensive-to-repair engine problems.

Z3n posted:Sounds a little on the high side. Maybe offer around 1500$? If it's in good shape though 1800$ would be on the high side. I might try to haggle with him in person, over the phone he didn't want to budge, but maybe it will be different when I'm standing there with the money. From what he says, and the photos, it seems to be in good shape ... I am however going in armed with my flashlight and probing questions. Hopefully he lets me take it for a short ride around the 'hood. I have had a motorcycle license for the last 6 years.

I just got back from checking out the CB750. Man, those things are huge! I'd never seen one in person before. Seems like it'll make a nice 2nd bike though. I inspected it as much as I could without a test ride (owner understandably didn't want to let me test ride it without having the full amount in cash right there) but it fired right up from a cold start, sounds good. He did, however, ride it around the block for me while I watched. I plan on test riding it when I go back tomorrow with the rest of the cash before anything is finalized, though, just so I can feel it. visual inspection didn't reveal anything out of sorts, in fact it was very clean and well-kept. The first owner was an older gentleman who kept service records and all, which were shown to me. Oil was changed 600 miles ago. Tires, chain, brakes were all new. I'm heading back over there tomorrow to pay him the rest and to ride it on home. I'm really thrilled right now, I've always wanted a CB750! Finding one at a nice price that is in such good shape is.... totally tubular.
