Sport Touring, Shaft drivenWhen the Honda CB750SC Nighthawk S was introduced in 1984, the words of praise from the motoring press were immediate and, in a surprise twist to the norm, unified. "Surprise: Custom now means California hot rod," announced Cycle. "The California hot rod: Hondas fiddle-free speed shop special," said Rider. "An American-style, shaft-drive sport-custom that honors another American custom hot rodding," quipped Cycle Guide. If the motoring press was any judge, Honda had struck a rich vein with its new Nighthawk S.
