And 2k for a 92 with aftermarket shit in good condition; seems resonable to me. But if you can get it for lower do it.

A 750cc Nighthawk is still a very powerful bike. Even if it is a standard. I would say look for something a lil smaller than a 750cc inline 4. Maybe take a look at a cruiser like the Yamaha Virago 750cc or Suzuki GS500. Both are awesome running bikes and are powerful enough to get you out of trouble and have fun.

As for any bike being able to wheelie? I would say it is physically possible, but a newb rider on a 92 CB750 isn't gonna be able to do it (IMHO).
I bet if I hopped on my CB750 right now I couldn't wheelie it myself!!!!!!!! Too damn heavy.

That's why I'm saying with a CB750 it would be harder. I'm not saying impossible. I'm just saying that a newb isn't gonna know how to clutch it up in the first place; so the chances of it happening are slim to none.
