Honda CB450SC

The Honda CB450SC, sold as the Nighthawk 450, is a motorcycle that Honda produced between 1982 and 1986. It used a two-cylinder engine with two carburettors. At launch it came with an 85 mph speedometer and Comstar wheels. Only cosmetic changes were made in 1983, when the Comstar wheels were replaced with a slightly different cast alloy wheel and the speedometer was raised to 105 mph. Two Nighthawk 450 models were produced in 1985, the regular CB450SC and the CB450SCL for California only. In 1986, its last year of production, the changes were minor, including the fender changing from chrome to body colour. Options included nylon luggage, leather saddlebags, an engine guard, a luggage rack and a backrest.
