Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 1993, 1994
In 1994, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB250SC Nighthawk, a standard motorcycle in its fourth year of production and part of the CB series that came unchanged compared to its predecessors.
The bike had its debut in 1991 and was powered by the engine used on the 1985-1987 CMX250 Rebel, upgraded with new wiring, new components, a larger carburetor, a new valve cover, and a reshaped cylinder head.
The CB250SC was a lightweight, maneuverable, inexpensive, and easy-to-maintain motorcycle with a small size and low seat height, perfect for riders of smaller stature. The bike was also used by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) motorcycle training.
The naked, agile machine was suitable for young riders but also for the more seasoned ones who were in search of an agile and fuel-efficient daily commuter.
Equipped from the factory, the model 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, and wire-spoked wheels.
As for the performance figures, the 1994 Honda CB250SC Nighthawk took its muscles from a 239cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by two Keihin carburetors that helped deliver 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.
