The '''Honda CB700SC''' is a motorcycle. 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.

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.
 
While its ancestor, the [[Honda CB650SC|650 Nighthawk]], had a standard [[Motorcycle]] style, the 700 had angular lines capped by a small "bikini" [[fairing]] and a smaller (16 inch) front wheel which was the rage for [[sportbikes]]. The bike came only in black with either red or blue accent panels.


The [[engine]] was a larger version of the 650 Nighthawk's double-overhead cam, four cylinder with hydraulic lifters which virtually eliminated valve adjustments. The exhaust was a four-into-two finished in black chrome. The engine was enameled mostly in black with chrome trim. Other components normally chromed were also enameled in black including the lower fork legs, handlebars, and rear grab rails.

Other components normally chromed were also enameled in black including the lower fork legs, handlebars, and rear grab rails.


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 hydrolic. 
==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).
