2006 Honda Nighthawk (CB250) Motorcycle reviews

I haven't been a rider for about 25 years. I wanted something to commute to work, about 10 miles round trip, small town traffic and for evening, weekend cruising out in the country. So far the Nighthawk has been great. As big as I am it still can handle 65mph cruise with relative ease. I don't think that a long drive would be much fun, for a person as big as me. If you are looking for something for 2hr plus drives get something bigger. I initially was going to purchase a "Rebel" but it was too low, the "Nighthawk" fits very well. Up to this point, I'm very pleased Show less

Of course, this awesome review is based mainly on the fact that this is a brand-spanking new bike. It had better be 5 stars! My first experience with the bike was picking it up in another town (about 162 miles away), and riding it home. It is not good for long hauls. However, that's not what it was designed for! I was impressed with its 250 power though. Still, it left me with ample twist in the throttle when I needed it to pass other vehicles. Traditional/classic (stress-around town) sport bike for those of us who don't like a lot of plastic. Buy one. Show less
