Hi, I have just picked up my 1978 registered CB750-F2(?) and it has strange numbers that don't relate to anything I can find on the forum (or elsewhere).

The bike is relatively untouched and numbers are not messed with - the frame numbers are same on vin plate & headstock.

FRAME: CB750G - 10038**

ENGINE: B750GE - 10044**

W T F

I repeat - they all look kosha and are not tampered with and match the DVLA paperwork, etc!

Can anyone explain whats going on - and how I can find out the exact model I have - PLEASE

Sounds about right for a UK 750F

Thats great - mystery solved

I suppose I did OVEREACT a bit when I saw the "G" in the number.

For the record I thought it was intentional ignorance, not a simple mispelling. I mean...how many jews speaking yiddish could they possibly have in the UK? 6? 7?

JK Geeto...I thought it more a phonetical spelling loosely based on his regional accent

Had not occured to me....I wonder what yiddish with a british accent sounds like?

flybox1 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 25, 2014, 01:04:55 PM »

probably a lot like Scottish/Korean

nah we are all just taking the piss.

To put this back on track for a second...seems like Uk got the short shrift when it came to SOHC Hondas. IIRC you guys got the k2 from 72-76 instead of the k3/4/5/6 models like everywhere else.

LesterPiglet · « **Reply #20 on:** February 26, 2014, 01:45:37 PM »

I don't know enough about them to tell the difference but I was talking to a guy a few miles away with a K6.

Geeto67 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 26, 2014, 01:56:22 PM »

I think you guys got the k6, but I have seen 1975 k2s in the UK. Plus there are a lot of American imports.

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 26, 2014, 06:32:52 PM »

K2 was better looking and better running anyway.

Except for that K5 Planet Blue color

Pigford · « **Reply #24 on:** February 28, 2014, 03:35:27 AM »

Gotta agree that the early K's were much better looking bikes.... but the F2 has the better engine

UK did get K models too, but I remember when the F first came to the UK (I was only 13yrs) and even then it was known as the BANANA bike

I'm surprised how heavy the old girl is.... it makes me KZ1000's seem lightweight ....... sort of.
