1984 CB700SC Nighthawk "S" http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/820186/ Link to "globalcarbrands.com" Link to "globalcarbrands.com" "The 700cc displacement of this bike was a product of Harley-Davidson's success... at lobbying for protectionist trade legislation. The American manufacturer convinced the U.S. government to place a heavy tariff on all imported motorcycles over 700cc displacement, squarely targeted at the booming 750cc segment. Most of the Japanese bikes made in response to the tariff were simply sleeved-down versions of 750cc bikes". (from Motorcyclespecs) Note: Canada and Europe got a full 750cc version of this bike during the same period (1984-86). BTW, one of the great bikes of the 19880's. -- Last edit: 2014-07-28 22:33:25 |
