Have a look at this,

It seems to be a mash of F's to me, Single front disc(F1), Constarts (F2)

Shame about the rest of it...

Is that an F2 engine or has it been sprayed with BBQ paint?

But the carburetor's  not looking like those i have in my CB750F2/K7 1977 In my Service manual , maybe a 1976 late F1, the F1 had singel front disk, and correct me if I`m wrong but are there a oil cooler in front of frame , over the the cylinder head  ???

But very nice wheels  ;D ;D

Looks like a '75 or '76 F with Lester mags, CR? front fender, aftermarket exhaust, rearsets, and what I would assume to be BBQ paint on a '76 motor. Probably a nice bike to get for any of you UK riders interested in building a period racer, or riding as is.

If it's a '77, it's an F2 (1975 was the first year for the "F", '76 is an F1).  But if it IS a '77 "F", it would have dual front discs, and I believe the VIN would be something like CB750Fxxxxxxxxx.
