[quote=JimOD;186598]Putting aside the fact that it is not a good machine for touring the UK, after all it has 10hp.
I seem to remember Pirsig did his first trip, through Canada on 6.5hp.  Not sure that a late sixties Nighthawk would have that much more than 10hp and look what came out of that trip
Friend of mind toured the UK on a Honda C70, he told me it had all the power he needed, in his weaker moments he lusted after a C90 which he imagined had all the low down grunt anyone could ever need. My Uncle, now in his seventies briefly traded his bantam for a 350. Nearly frightened himself to death.
