Amazing information....makes me want a 750 even more. ;D
At last some figures on sales numbers etc to refer to as well.
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Dhall - not trying to speak for Nancy but "Classic Bike" is a fan freaking tastic magazine from the UK.  They are very proud of it though, so I don't subscribe  :(
It is available at Joseph Beth Booksellers and sometimes Borders for about $10. 
The US equivalent is "Motorcycle Classics":

A member here (Skonnieboy) published an article about a road trip on his 750 in M.C.
and there is a good article in MC about the 750-F for all you outcasts:

It is a proven fact that modifying a SOHC Honda in any way will bring on the apocalypse.

Nice article . This confirms the 400,000 number for the K model I'd read earlier. Not millions but still a LOT of bikes. I believe the H-man book states the early K0 had 67-70 HP and could go 130mph. He goes on to say by the time the 76 was produced it was making 45hp and had trouble going 100mph. A large part of his book however is devoted to restoring the later bikes so they will run like the early ones.

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(
