The '''[[Honda]] CB700SC''' is a [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Honda]] from 1984 to 1986 and more commonly known as the Nighthawk 700S.


The '''[[Honda]] CB700SC''' is a [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Honda]] from 1984 to 1986 and more commonly known as the Nighthawk 700S.  It could reach a top speed of 147 mph (236 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 44.99 ft/lbs (61.0 Nm) @ 8000 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 78.32 HP (58.4 KW) @ 10000 RPM. 
==History==
Although the Honda [[Honda CB750SC|Nighthawk CB750SC]] [[Motorcycle]] had been introduced in 1982, the 700 cc Nighthawk debuted two years later. In fact, the 1984 750 and 700 were almost identical except for the engine size. In Canada, for instance, the dealers opted for the 750 rather than the 700 because Canada did not have the tariffs that the U.S. imposed on motorcycles over 700 cc.

Since full-tilt sportbikes of the era were gravitating toward a more radical look with full fairings and crouched seating positions, the Nighthawk filled the gap between sport and standard motorcycles. Though a good compromise and a capable performer, the 700 Nighthawk was phased out after the 1986 model.

==Engine==
The engine was a oil & [[air cooled]] in-line four, four-stroke. A 67.9mm [[bore]] x 49.4mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 696.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). 
==Drive==
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the hydraulic clutch. 
==Chassis==
Stopping was achieved via double disc in the front and a expanding brake (drum brake) in the rear. The CB700SC Nighthawk S was fitted with a 4.2 Gallon (15.89 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 468.92 pounds (212.7 Kg). 




Line 123: Line 102:
The CB700SC'86 was sold in 1986 and came in one of two color schemes: Black with Candy Alamoana Red or Candy Aleutian Blue with Shasta White. The black bike had red panels outlined with orange stripes; but the blue bike had white panels outlined with red stripes. The wheels, engine, and "velocity stack" covers were solid black. The left side fork leg was solid black. The speedometer numbers were in increments of 10 (e.g., 15, 25, 35, 45, etc.). The engine was a 696cc [[DOHC]] 4-valve inline four linked to a 6-speed transmission and driving a shaft to the rear wheels. The serial number began JH2RC200*GM200001
