The Honda CB450SC is a motorcycle produced by Honda between 1982 and 1986. It utilised a two-cylinder engine operating with two carburetors.^[1]

At launch, it came with an 85 mph speedometer and had Comstar wheels. Only cosmetic changes were made in 1983. The Comstar wheels were replaced with a slightly different cast alloy wheel. The speedometer was upped to 105 mph. Two Nighthawk 450 models were produced in 1985. The regular CB450SC, and the CB450SCL (California only).
