Topic: If you could have any SOHC Honda CB750, what one would you choose?

[gregwaits]

Okay, this is a perfect world moment.

If in your fantasies, you could choose any model CB750, what year would it be, and K or F. (For obvious reasons, the K0 doesn't count!)

For me it would be hard to say, but if pressed I'd go for a post '75 K model.

[754]

1971 Candy Garnet Brown or Red.

[seaweb11]

72 chrome framed Tracy ....at least this year

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

I bought it new and still have it - 75 750K0 Super Sport aka 75 750F0 Candy Sapphire Blue. I considered this as the reinvention of the tired old slow 750 Honda back in the day. I had a fleeting thought about a 900 Kaw but that didn't last long when I heard about the new Honda. Easy choice for me, however I'd like to have a pristine low mileage 77/78 F2/F3 to go along with it. Just something about an open 4 into 1 header at high rpms that I can't resist.

The CR750 that Dick Mann took to victory at Daytona in 1970.

Fuzzy, anyone can have A CR750 ...Ya wonna buy one

Sam.


Damn, Dicks bike was a K0 and not eligible for this poll 

[Shenanigans]

The first one and the last one.

[Jinxracing]

The one I've got right now!

[Terry in Australia]

I'd first like a time machine, so I could go back and collect my original yellow 1975 CB750F that I bought new in 1978 for a big discount, (The Honda dealers here couldn't move the ugly fuuckers, so most of them stayed in crates for the first few years of their lives) so I could take it back to Stanco in Elizabeth Street in Melbourne where I bought it, and buy that Kawasaki Z1R that I really wanted, but couldn't afford! 

[JLeather]

I'd actually like a 76 F model.  I love the combo of triple discs, but spoked wheels.  I'd want it in black with a little red trim and something loud like a Yosh pipe 

[bender01]

Id go back and get a 75 750k in planet blue.I really like that color.

[Cvillechopper]

I'd go for the '78 F.  I've just fallen in love with the line of the F working on the latest project.

[mj_honda]

I find it unusual that so many people want an F model.

Me, in a perfect world, I want a brand new 78F. For some reason I have been in love with that model since I first laid eyes on it.

[Gregorymoto]

The one i have now.
75F with allot of work on it.
My Bike, bought it in a box when i was 17, i'm 36 now and will never sell it.
I do wish i still had the stock yellow tank it came with, but o well i sold it and used the money to by a RC motor from a guy in WA.
ME is INNNNNNNnnnnn Love

[HondaMan]

Late K1, in Blue-green. Always wanted that one, never got it (mine was gold). Love those glasspacked pipes and the 130+ MPH ability.

But then again, I bought my K2 because it had the quieter pipes...

[mgmuellner]

A CR, duh - the CB's are all pretty much the same.

[lordmoonpie]

Naaah! Why'd you want Vic's 970 CR750 - the paint is all wrong for a CR ....<dons flame proof vest...>

[benly- ben]

definately the 69` cr 750    ben

[Magpie]

The one I bought new in July of 1969, before it died a horrible death mating with a Cortina.

What do ya mean you'd have a 69 CR750.....what's that ya sat on

[chrislib]

I`d prob stick with my 73 Candy Bacchus Olive ride, or Sunrise Flake Orange (74/75?).

[Jim F]

Why the one that I have of coerce.
75K dunstall racer

[Roscoe]

Definately a 78 F2. The last of them with all probs ironed out. Long and low.

[Dunk]

I quite like my '71. I wouldn't want anything else. It's got a well worked over motor, looks pretty sharp. It'll be perfect one I re-paint, refinish gauges, and do some other things to clean it up.

Ha ha, out of the mouths of babes eh, the F2/F3 had more problems than all of the other CB750's put together mate! Long and low, and mostly in bits..................... (I can say that, I've got one too)

The only SOHC F with triple discs was the 77/78 F2/F3 JL, with Comstar wheels.

   Who in their right mind would want just ONE?

yeah, i'd like to have bugsys cr for sure. i'd put lights and a mirror on it and ride the hell out of it.

[754]

I am changing mine to the double engine Top Gas bike that was on the blown Norton thread...

2 liters, 4 Webers, 2 ARD mags, and 2 RC ENG headers...ooooohhhhh YEAH!!..    

 I wont ride it as fast as Terry Vance .. but I will appreciate it!!

Well said Terry. The only other CB750 I have is a 1980 DOHC KZ and being a short arse its too tall for me. The F2 is still in pieces so I guess I'll find out the hard way when I get to Aussie. I can see I'll be conversing with you more on this subject over the ensueing months. Cheers, Roscoe

No worries mate, I'm saving all my spare F2 parts for you! Cheers, Terry.
