The Honda Hurricane, besides having one of the greatest names in motorcycling history, was an excellent sport-tourer that introduced some crucial technology into the Honda lineup. It eventually evolved into the well-known Blackbird. Available in 1000cc and 600cc versions, the design of the bigger bike has aged a bit better with time.
Though on the portly side, it had 130 horsepower to back it up. Times have changed, and what used to be a bike too heavy (over 500 pounds) for anything more than stoplight pulls and fast sweepers has now become a widely-accepted classic sport touring bike. There’s only one mechanical you have to worry about on an otherwise very reliable bike. These bikes are known for noisy camchain tensioners. Most rattle when cold, but once the engine fills with oil, you should be okay. But forget all that for a moment. If there’s any reason why you should buy this Honda Hurricane, it’s just so you can own the work of art featured in this delightfully 80’s commercial:
This example has just 12,224 miles and is all stock except for a Yoshimura 4 into 1 exhaust that was installed in 1990. The bike is being offered by the third owner, who will include the original exhaust. Find this Hurricane for sale in Oneonta, New York with a BIN of $3,500 or best offer
