I own a 1978 CB750. Then years later I rode the 750 Nighthawk. About 15 bikes later I bought this one today. Kinda feels like I have come full circle.
Did you own a CB 750 in the past?

When I rode these era bikes, I never thought about the four carburetors. I just absorbed the whole experience.
Beautiful Wagonpeddler.

I'm very fluent in carbs, they don't bother me. At least inline 4's or smaller. Never done a CBX or Wing or worse.
Owned a V65 Sabre for 80k+ miles and never worried about or touched the carbs. Heard they're a bear to remove/reinstall.

Hey Pete, nice Nighthawk! You've got that elusive rack I was looking for when I had my '93.
Does the tach on that bike still work?

Yes, the tach still works....Yet.
Ever notice how even though Honda is the most reliable, best built bike, every model has it's known problems.

Ha! Yes, that is true. I scored a very nice used working one when I had mine as a backup. Never needed it, but got quite a bit for it when I sold it!

Made out well when I sold the '79. Owned for about three years. Bought for $3500 and sold for $6000. I didn't have the expertise to re-build and sync the carbs. Had a knowledgeable tech close by who could, and did a few times, but always wary of the next issue. Used only non-ethanol fuel too. Have none of those worries now. In fairness, I had an '81 Custom for 30+ years without ANY carb issues.

While in the army, I had a tour of duty in Thailand in 1969. I met a guy there, Chuck from Michigan. He rode, his whole family rode, and we could rent Honda 350's in the little beach resort town of Pattaya. That's where i learned to ride. When i ETS'ed from the army in '71, in Virginia, I had a 1965 Chevy Impala SS. I drove across country and made a stop to see my riding bud Chuck, who was out of the army. We did a lot of riding around near the town of Owasso, I on his new 650 Bonneville, he on his Dad's #2 bike, also a Bonneville. We did a 9-day trip round Lake Superior, and had blast. When I got home to SoCal, the CB750 was visible on the street. I wanted one, but couldn't afford it, so I got the next best thing, a CL450. which I rode like I'd stole it. Never did get the CB750, but some years later, I got a Nighthawk 750, which was carbed. I heard I could boost its performance a bit by adding a washer under the needle, so I did, and performed some surgery on the pipes. It ran and sounded AWESOME!

My 1980 750F SuperSport was the second bike I ever bought brand new. My first was a 1976 Kawasaki 750 4-stroke twin. I believe I paid $2600 for the supersport.
