I personally can't answer your question, but thought you might want to browse this earlier thread. Good luck.

77 is fine. One thing is that the later years had more refinements to cure problem areas.
Somewhere on the site is an area that lists the improvements over the years.

Zef - they're all good. (500s are better of course...)

Buy the '77.  After a while you will feel the urge for a second, then a few years down the line you'll find yourself with one of each!

Seriously, the '77s were split into two:

The F had 4-1, sharper styling and disks all round
The K had 4-4, classic styling and a good old drum on the rear.

I road a 77 750k for 4 years and enjoyed every minute on it. I just sold it a week ago because I found a 81 CB750Custom for $500. The 750k is faster and quicker then the 1981. but then 81 does need a little work.
