Is that European model called a CBX750 ? I like all the nice European models;
those 250's that are available to you are wonderful !
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts' & 81' CB125S modded to a 'CB200S'
  I love the small ones too !

Yes, they were never sold in USA, here is bit more info:

It was very similar to Nighthawk 750 only the clutch was hydraulic.

I had one just like that only black. It was a great bike and very nimble, you had to be very careful that the oil was always full. They have always been a bike i would like to modify, they have a very nice backbone frame, and with some decent quality chains in the motor, a great bike could be made.... ;)

I was quite fond of it, after 250 two stroke, this was like cloud nine. 

Loaded with two people and luggage, passing on highway was a matter of twisting right wrist. LOL, it had almost the hp of my current CJ7.

Uuuuggghhhh............  :o
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
