What do the suffixes mean after the size?
« on: October 23, 2007, 02:50:20 AM »
This may have been gone over, but I could not find it.

I am actively searching (in a passive way) for a CB750 for either a cafe project or a rider to turn my Nighthawk into a cafe, but have seen all manner of letters after the engine size. What does it all mean? Which is the one/s has/have a flat seat? Is there a web site somewhere that will edumicate me?

Yes, this one will  ;D.

My summary:  K is the original series name which became a pseudo touring model in the late 70s.  The F is the "sport" models beginning in '75 and the A is the automatic.

Here's the link to the model overview on the main page

And "P" is the Police version.
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Here's an older thread that goes into more detail on the "K" designation.
