Honda's new CB450SC has the Nighthawk look with the power to outspeed traffic and easily violate legal speed limits. Honda enlarged its 395cc engine for 1982 to 447cc by increasing the bore size 4.5mm. This makes the bore/stroke ratio of the 75.0 x 50.6mm engine a remarkable oversquare 1.5:1. There are updates beyond the displacement increase.

- The 1982 Honda CM 450 E and all other motorcycles made 1894-2021.
- Witness the American Gothic of motorcycles: Many of the values reflected in Grant Wood's portrait of the thin-lipped farming couple—hard-working, modest, capable, and utterly without glamour—apply directly to Honda's workhorse Nighthawk. In 1977, when Honda brought out the 450's parent bike, the CB400 Hawk, it was a revolutionary machine.
