Look what followed us home........

[Pappy!]

Think we posted this on FB (Lesa is on there) a while back but not here.
This bike was found less than 5 miles from the house. Owned by a long-time local Police Offficer and a great guy. Hopefully our group will get to meet him at some point as he loves to ride. He has a wedding coming up for his daughter so some things had to go and this was one of them.
It is a 1982 Honda CB650SC and is unique in a few ways.
It is the first year of the "Nighthawk" series as they retired the "Custom" on this particular series although it remained in larger bikes.
It is the only year for 4-into-4 exhaust. The following year it is a 4-into-2.
It is the last year for the SOHC engine in this series of bike.
Chain drive.
Bike has less than 6000 miles on it and was one of the cleanest bikes we have ever looked at.
I have never heard Lesa praise a bike as much as this one. She absolutely loves it.
Starts at the touch of the button, shifts super smooth, has plenty of power and fits her like a glove.





Check out the grin.....!

Very nice! So how many toys does that make for you guys now?

Pappy, is this fairing an option for this bike? Meaning, you can take it off at will unlike the 1984 Nighthawk where there would not be a headlight bucket behind the fairing, just a mess of wires.

  Sweet ride for sure I didn't know the story behind it though. Only 5 miles away nice find. You never know where the next one is coming from.

That's a great looking bike, I love the chrome fender, tapered exhaust, and rims. I wonder what was the first year for a center stand, is that one I see on there ?
Enjoy Lesa

Sooper nice!  Congrats.  Love that bike. Love that size of bike.  I've an 83 GL650 I.  Only made one year.  Sits tall, skinny tires, and blasts through the rain!

Looks like a 2020 model just off the showroom floor! Great find and makes the wife happy, that is truly a win!
