I have to let the Nighthawk go.
If I had a place to keep it, I wouldn't let it go, but I have very limited room and even more limited parking, so it has to go.
It's spot will be taken by a '09 V Star 1100 Custom that I'm getting for under 2k.

I know how much Pete is jealous so I thought I'd offer it here first.

3k takes it.  If you're mainland, you pay shipping and I'll take half the shipping cost off.
Shipping is around $600.
If you make me a good offer, I'll go under 3k.

If you want pix, check my fb.
On second thought, I'd better add some here.....

Comes with the fairing and passenger backrest.













AND THIS IS WHAT'S REPLACING IT:

Looks like a VERY decent ride, taken care of VERY well,
If I had the cash on hand this is a No brainier.....

A local sale maybe a better option though, As I am new here, maybe a list of custom parts and work history could help others interested in the sale.

Heck, A Craig's list add should have a few folks calling on the first day. IMHO.

GOOD LUCK !!!!!! Ride like you own it!!!!!

Horace,

Some here know the history of this bike. It was offered to me for next to nothing. When I went to check it out, it did not run until I played with it for about 30 mins. Once I got it running, it sounded good, so I bought it. The sign forgot to say 'assembly required.'
I put it all back together and discovered some issues. So I had a good friend of mine do a top end rebuild for me. changed plugs, wires, rear sprocket, throttle cables, air filter, head cover gasket and compression bolts.
Then I got it home and did an engine flush with a couple of quick oil changes.

Since then, I've put over 10k miles on it. I added the fairing and backrest and the difference they make is incredible. I haven't eaten a rock or bug since.

This bike runs like a raped ape. Smooth, fast and reliable. I REALLY hate to let it go, but, at my age, I need the far greater comfort of the V Star.

I'm adding a bit of salt to this post just for Cyborg, since he 's still mad at me for stealing this bike.

I am beginning to believe there are some real whack-o's in the Hawaiian islands giving stuff away.

[Guitarman]

Send me the money and this whacko will send you a bike. Only $3,750 for you since you're a member here.... LOL

I would have been all over the 1100 6 months ago. With my back getting so bad I am kind of glad I couldn't find a decent priced big bike. I have loose gravel all over some of the roads I ride. With the weight of my KLX and the knobies I have yet to had the bike slide and for those who are ape crap over gas mileage the last two tanks gave over 70 mpg. I am happy to be even able to ride today.

[Guitarman]

Yep. I hear you.
Got an offer on the Nighthawk today. He's paying what I'm asking. The deal hasn't gone thru just yet. I'm going to meet him on Thursday and as long as he's happy, I'll be walking to the bus stop and headed to pick up the V Star.

[Guitarman]

The Nighthawk is GONE. *snif* I'm gonna miss it.
Rode the VStar home. Oh what luxury!

I've seen bikes that get shipped to the mainland. I was doing you a favor. LOL
It went pretty quick.

I'm loving the V Star. It's a solid bike at a great price. Bluebook puts it around 3300, I took it for half that. Ordered new progressive shocks for it today and my wrench gave me a new lid to go with it. This one has a face on it. And built-in shades. AFX FX-50. Nice helmet. Reminds me of my other 3/4 before it rolled off the roof of the car at 40....
