I am in the market for a new bike (presently own a 1982 Honda FT500
Ascot) and have narrowed my choices down to the Honda Nighthawks.
Can anyone out there provide me with their experiences or opinions
about these two bikes ?

I am attrracted to these bikes for their low maintainance items like
shaft-drive, hydraulic valve adjusters, and hydrualic clutch while
still providing high performance (72hp for the 650 & 80hp for the
700S) and what I consider quite adequate handling.

Thanks in advance,

P.S. For all those Yamadog SR500 riders out there:
	 My 'thumper', as she's affectionately known, gets about ~58 MPG.
