2002 Honda reviews

I have a 2002 Honda Nighthawk 750 and it runs awesome. I was really surprised with the power of this bike. It is faster than it looks. Show less

This bike is a great combination of style as well as performance. I bought it used a little over a year ago with 7K miles on it. I started to learn how to ride street after having a few years of riding dirt bikes under my belt. Once I learned what the bike was capable of I went ahead and bobbed it out. Now it is about 20 lbs. lighter and really gets up! This bike gives a comfortable ride with good gas mileage (~65 mpg) while still giving me all the power I need to get out of the way or just get out onto the open road. I cannot say enough good things about this bike. The 4-gear tranny is just fine by me. I don't see why this bike would even need a 5th gear. I am enjoying putting miles on my bike with just regular maintenance, chain lube, oil changes, keeping the tires up to pressure spec, etc. It is a GREAT BIKE for exploring your wild side; at least for the average beginner.

What is not to like? This is a real piece of technology with all the bang for your buck and then some. Like a Porsche car, once you get this bike rolling you had better hang on! Five quick gears and a rush of thunder is all I can remember. The suspension is great and absorbed even the worst I could put the bike through. Power and more power, I often find myself letting up off the throttle or the bike will flip. I found the bike to be more controllable after the rear tire was worn some, which loosened the rear grip and prevented all the power from reaching the ground, thank goodness. I put on an FMF Gold exhaust and ran 92 octane fuel with stabilizer (for periods between starts). Quality over-all is best. The seat is comfortable and the pegs fit my body frame well. The seat height was great for me, and the shocks are adjustable. I set my rear at half, which is a little stiff. Show less

I have had the "Vifferfor about a year now, and I absolutely LOVE this motorcycle! I have owned CBRs in the past and this bike blows them away for my needs and expectations of a great bike. Awesome cornering, acceleration and braking all exceeded my hopes. The VTEC is so much fun; it's like riding an 800cc two-stroke with a power-band! I put almost 13,000 miles on it in 10 months. It is my daily driver and I have NO complaints with anything except the usual - wish she had more power! Just buy it - don't think about it. The bike sounds like an F-1 car at 11,000 rpm! Show less

I bought my VTX 1800C used from my neighbor in Feb. 06, with 11,500 miles on the bike and have since added 7,000 miles on the fastest cruiser on two wheels. My VTX came with V&H long shots, Power Commander & Hyper Charger, and on top of all this it was dyno tuned to maximize this rocket of a motorcycle. It also came with a Corbin seat and Honda Line windshield. After my first year on the road with this bike, I have backed off a bit on the thottle and am now averaging about 35 mpg. I love the power & speed to pass anything in my way and look forward to the next ride everyday of the week. Show less

I have a 2002 CR80R that I bought used. It has many many aftermarket parts. I have had a Kawasaki and had many problems. It always bogged down and the motor would always have problems. Kawasaki is not the way to go. My best friend has a Kawasaki KX85 and I smoked him easily. The CR80 is also a great jumping bike. So, if you are going to buy a dirtbike - GET A HONDA!!!! Show less

This bike is great. My allowanc ebought me a big gun race pipe. Man is it loud. It reaches a top speed of around 65 m.p.h. Another great feature is that it has key igition. Realy good bike. Show less

I have been riding my XR 100 for 5 years. This bike runs and runs and runs. I have never had to get any work done on the bike. If you're into jumping your machine like I am, I would suggest getting stronger rims and spokes because it seems like they break off every time I clear a huge jump. Show less

2002 was the only year the Aero 1100 had a dual crankpin engine. This gives is a much smoother and peppier ride than earlier versions. Love my Aero. Good all-around performance. Very comfortable on long trips due to low vibration, yet it's nimble around town. Inner tubes and weak front braking are the only downsides that I can think of. Show less

I used to ride a scooter in high school some 20 years ago. Once in a while I would get on my friends Ninja 250. Last month I went all out and got an Interceptor. Let me tell you this is the first Sports Bike that I ever owned. The size, the weight and speed of this monster compared to a scooter is not comparable. For someone who is a starter after 20 years is unheard of and people tell me WHY such a BIG FAST BIKE TO START OFF WITH? But what's even more amazing is that this is the most comfortable and easy going as it gets. The ride is smooth and handles great. The power is great and despite its size and weight, it's like riding a big scooter. SO SO simple and smooth. Deadly as it looks and IS, but it rides like a pussy cat. After 20 years of jumping on something like this it took me no more than 20-30 miles to get the full hang of it. don't BE INTIMIDATED BY ITS LOOKS AND POWER. IT'S AN EASY BIKE TO RIDE YET WITH AN amazing V-TECH 16V to give you that extra kick. AWESOME bike for SPORTS and TOURING...and for GODS SAKES STOP COMPLIMENTING AT EVERY RED LIGHT!! IT LOOKS AWESOME TOO. Show less
