HONDA CB250SC Nighthawk (1992-1993) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB250SC Nighthawk was a standard motorcycle part of the CB series, manufactured in 1991 and powered by a 234cc air-cooled parallel-twin engine. The bike was powered by the 1985-1987 CMX250 Rebel's engine, updated with new wiring, new components, a larger carburetor, a new valve cover, and a reshaped cylinder head.

In 1993, Honda launched the CB250SC Nighthawk, a lightweight, maneuverable, inexpensive, and easy-to-maintain motorcycle that was also used by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) motorcycle training.

The bike was in its third year of production without any changes and came with standard features, such as a chromed dual exhaust system, a wide handlebar, a one-piece dual seat, a round headlight with a chromed ring, a black-finished steel frame, an analog instrument cluster, and wire-spoked wheels.

On the front end, the CB250SC Nighthawk packed a 31 mm telescopic fork and dual shock absorbers with five-way preload adjustability on the rear, while the wire-spoked wheels were fitted both front and rear with a couple of 152 mm drum braking units.

As for the power figures, the 1993 Honda CB250SC Nighthawk offered the same specifications as its predecessors, powered by a 239cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 20 hp with maximum strength at 9,000 rpm and 18 Nm (13 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,500 rpm.
