I'm not a 750 man but I thought that the F-models had engines that started CB750FE-xxxx

You could try PM-ing Bryan Jones (bryanj) as he might be able to help with the numbers.

From the numbers, that should be a K6 engine.  See http://www.satanicmechanic.de/enginemods.shtml for engine numbers and modifications.

All the best,

It sounds like you are in the UK. If so give me a ring on 07795162623 any evening Sunday to Thursday and I will advise you on reg with unhelpful DVLA.

It seems that in the UK the F0 frame number often left the factory with F1 engine numbers. I've seen several now.
