About 60 miles.  I've been working on my Nighthawk to get it where I want it.   I miss the Valkyrie but I'm grateful that I can still ride even though the engine's only half the size of the Valk. 

The Hawk is also 300 pounds less weight and that makes a huge difference to my knees. This 1991 750 Nighthawk is one smooth and gutsy bike. It runs very well and has about 70 hp, enough to run the interstates without a problem. $2200 well spent.  Only 12,500 miles, gotta change that. Wink

I've had it for about two years and I haven't washed it yet.  Gotta clean up the wheels.

Getting wind on any bike is great.  Glad you are still able to get out there and  ride.

Great to hear your out riding Wayne...now do you think you can make it here to Michigan for a little trip...maybe InZane or St. Ignace weekend? I don't care if you have to trailer it up...

That is a really nice lookin ride.  If I had any sense, that would be all the bike I wouid ever need.  Ihad a cb750 many moons ago, 800 mile days were nothing but fun. Course I was 40 years younger then!  cooldude  hoser

Robert, i'm signed up for Inzane and my intention is to trailer the bike up to Inzane and then ride.  It has a hard-as-a-brick Corbin Gunfighter seat so probably 100 mile/day will be all that I can handle

I'm looking forward to meeting all the Michigan riders again.

Good for you!  More important to be riding than what you are riding.
