The F was more of a "sport" bike, came stock w/a 4 into 1 header, but the motors are the same.

I've never been a fan of the F series bikes, just my personal preference. The style just doesn't impress me. I know there's alot of F series people out there so don't shoot me. I've just been a K series person ever since I saw my first one on a dealers floor in the early 70's.

depending on the year but 1975-76: tank, seat, and exhaust are different maybe some other ancillary items like turn signals, headlight flanges.

  Ok, I'll spare ya this time!
This may be odd, but I like the 550F but don't like the 750F.
