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 packed the engine from the 1985-1987 CMX250 Rebel, with new wiring, new components, a larger carburetor, a new valve cover, and a reshaped cylinder head.
In its tenth year of production, the bike still didn't feature any changes and came in the same lightweight, maneuverable, inexpensive, and easy-to-maintain package with a small size and low seat height, perfect for riders of smaller stature.
The 2000 model came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as 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.
For suspension, the bike packed a 31 mm telescopic fork on the front and dual shock absorbers with five-way preload adjustability on the rear, while the braking performance was handled by two 152 drum units both front and rear.
As for the power figures, the 2000 Honda CB250SC Nighthawk took its thrust 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.
