Electronic ignition/dwell/advance. edit

Some mention that the fully electronic ignition was on the Nighthawk, not the Custom. It had pointless ignition, electronic dwell/timing advance. No mechanical advance weights used. (This was by a reluctor pick-up at crank and separate "igniter" unit under seat. It was not a CDI unit.) Also: My 1983 CB650SC, if I ride conservatively, averages 52 MPG for mixed in town and highway.174.18.44.161 (talk) 19:25, 19 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect BHP/redline spec. edit

The CB650SC was rated at 62 BHP at crank at 8500 RPM; not 72 at 10,000. Ref: Specs from Honda manuals, other sources.174.18.44.161 (talk) 19:29, 19 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Shift indicator/digital fuel gauge, etc. edit

Should also mention that the Nighthawk also had 4) CV carburetors, 6-speeds, and digital fuel gauge/gear indicator. This is on the 700SC page.174.18.44.161 (talk) 19:32, 19 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
