| Does anyone know the life span of the
750's motor under normal riding,I've
been told I would be lucky to get 35
thousand out of it. |

| | My first bike was a 93' nighthawk 750. I drove that bike hard ALL of the time then finally sold it when it had about 28 thousand miles(wanted more power). It still ran perfect when i sold it!! and with those hydraulic lifters i never needed any valve job every 15K miles unlike just about every other bike out there. kinda miss that low maintenance bike everytime im working on my new sportbike. |

| Could it be that the one who missinformed you was a salesman for some other bike company? The nighthawk motor is bullet proof! Lots of nighthawks with well over 100,000 miles out there & still no sign of age. The cb750 mill is still around for a good reson...... IT WORKS!!

| No way! This motorcycle is typical of Honda's very high quality products. It's also one of the more simple models. Just a very little regular maintenance is all it needs. It should last several 10's of thousands of miles beyond that. I bet that you could do nothing but top it off with oil, (not recommended) and it would last so long that you would sell it, before it broke.

| No friggin way. This motor dates back to the original 750-4 in 1969, and has more development than anyone dare ask for. They last 50-100M miles if you change the oil regularly.

| I'm real lucky, then. I bought mine with about 60k on it. It runs great, doesn't leak or use oil, has great power. And I ride it alot.
