Topic: Off Topic: Formula 750

[Raul CB750K1]

Hi everybody. I have to write a 2-page article about the Formula 750, the racing category that lasted near a decade in the seventies. I've found almost no information neither in my books nor -unbelievable- in the Internet.

If you have some information in any of your books, I would greatly appreciate a scan or a high.res picture.

Thanks in advance

Found this if it will be of any help, sort of a formula 750 flashback article with some pics..

Interesting link but not much information about the category in itself. Any other info out there? Thanks.


BTW, Bob, which web search do you use? I didn't find that with google...

I used Google, but since you seemed to have already done a "formula 750" search, I just added "Honda" to see what might come up.

I went to quite a few F750 meets in the 70's.  They really were the poor relation of the 500cc Grand Prix at the time and were dominated by Yamaha.  At the same time, the first Superbike races for 500cc two-strokes vs 1000cc four-strokes started up. They were much more fun. Ron Haslam was the man.
