I recently purchased my 2002 NH 750 about a month ago and when I first rode it, I was really amazed how smooth it ran and how manageable it was in all aspects.

I recently purchased my 2002 NH 750 about a month ago and when I first rode it, I was really amazed how smooth it ran and how manageable it was in all aspects. I haven't ridden a bike in about 10-12 years and my last bike was an old 1976 yamaha 500. But when I got on this bike the feeling instantly came back to me. Even though the nighthawk felt a little heavy to me, when I got it rolling, it balanced itself rather nicely. I would recommend this bike to just about anyone...

I'm bit on the heavy side. So perhaps this is why I get saddle sore or this could be a common problem of the seat no matter who the user. So the seat is my complaint. The seat is thick in the passenger side so you can stretch to back there for relief. Funny thing is that my butt gets enough of the seat just about at the point where I need to jump off the saddle for a gas break - at about 160 miles or 3 hours. Air cooled engine so you do have to worry about bumper to bumper traffic in a hot day. When the engine is really hot the oil starts to cook so you'll smell oil fumes. that's your hint to find some wind, make your own by moving the bike through the air somehow, or park the bike off the road for a break. If you continue to roast the engine after the oil fuming stage then as with any overheating engine the head gasket may start disintegrating. Honda oil and oil filters are double or triple the price you'd get for whatever you can find in a local auto supply store. Get a nice Mobil 1 or similar high quality oil filter. The stock Dunlop tires are great. I've stuck with them for two tire changes already. It's tough to lock the rear wheel so don't be afraid to press it hard when you need to. Just watch the front brake. A locked front wheel will send you to the ground faster than you can realize. I wish anti-lock brakes were a standard on every bike on the road. The tach stopped working at 35,000 miles in my 3rd year of ownership. New replacement is $500. So I guess I'll be riding without a tach for the rest of the life of the bike. Proved to be the most flexible bike I've ever had. I've used it for travel, commuting, short hops, and general shopping. I use it more than my car - which explains the high miles. (Grin.) You can sport about with it in mountain curves, move on the Interstate for long distances, and cruise with the custom bikes on the blvd. Before, I had a CB360 for daily commuting and a 750 Magna for everything else. Now one bike does all. The black engine paint has started not to look as deeply black as it used to. I think the paint is losing its "blackness". I do about 47 average miles per gallon.

I bought my '02 NightHawk in Jan of '02. I have over 20K miles on it. I moved on to a Kawasaki Concours and a Honda ST1100. My wife and son both rode the NH, but now I've gotten rid of the other bikes and I'm back on the 'Hawk. Why? It does everything I want pretty much the way I want it. Both the other bikes were very good at what they did, but between maintenance needs, plastic removal, bike weight and a few other things, it just wasn't worth it. With the exhaust and carb mod and the Avon tires, I can lean as far as the bike will allow and the power is good but in no way intimidating. With the small fairing I get 50+ mpg average riding/commuting. Reliability has been excellent, and I'm looking forward to many more years and miles.

I bought my 2002 Nighthawk used with 353 miles. I did not get to ride it as much as I would have liked. First thing, it's very comfortable to ride especially for semi-long distances. That is the main thing I look for in a bike: comfort, if you're not comfortable you definitely do not feel like riding. This bike is not great at doing any one thing, it does it all well. Low maintenance makes things nice over other bikes.
