There's probably no single food that you'd happily eat every day in and day out for the rest of your life. But there is a bike you could happily ride for years: Honda's Nighthawk 750 . Its air-cooled inline four-cylinder is almost mythical in its perfect blend of power, smoothness, simplicity, light weight, and phenomenal reliability. The combination of a comfortable seating position that makes equal sense after an hour on the back roads or a day on the highway, room for a passenger, and smooth handling all lend credibility to the old adage that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Looking for your first motorcycle is a piece of cake: You don't even have to struggle over color choice. Because Honda's 1997 Nighthawk, with its gloss black finish, is the uncontested, hands-down winner. Featuring a classic, parallel-twin engine, a first-time rider will immediately notice the low seat height, light weight, and manageable size.
