Mine is a black one also but is a 1980 750F. Mine still has the stock twin mufflers on it. It also has 115,000 miles on it. I geared it up slightly to lower highway revs and at age 71 I ride it quite sedately and just enjoy its wonderful feel. It handles impressively well for a 42 year old motorcycle and is a pleasure to ride.
I purchased new a 1981 silver/blue 750f in 1985 from Cycles USA in my hometown in Maryland. The bike was still in its shipping crate for four years. I put a 4-into1 Kerker, rejetted carbs and removed the stock airbox and put k&n filter. Also put Metzler tires on and a mini fairing. Top speed was between 120-125. I hit 121 and there was a lot of head shake so kept it around 100-110 where the 750 was rock solid. Typical Honda quality and reliability. I wish I still had it.
Ah Maryland.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn New York however because of a job that opened up in Washington DC I picked up and moved the family to the suburbs of Maryland after looking around in different areas I settled in Pikesville a very quiet peaceful neighborhood where I was able to get a detached home for $120,000 with a big backyard very nicely taken care of over the years I completely renovated that home paid for it in full after 22 years I'm now back in New York I do miss a lot of things about Maryland. I have friends that are still living in Owings Mills I have family that's living out in Carroll County at one point I worked on Howard Street in the city selling beepers during that era made a ton of money in the billing not the unit
If you're looking for a reliability there's nothing like a Honda it may not be the best it may not be the fastest it may not be the best looking a lot of people are going to bash it and say all kinds of nasty things but I've never ever had a problem with the various Honda motorcycles and many on the cars over the years
@@Mr.Robert1 yes I’ve Honda Motorcycles, Autos, generators and lawn mowers and not a problem with one of them. I have a Kawasaki now. Good reliable bike but fit and finish not quite at Honda level.
I had a 1981 CB-750C, it had head shake or what i like to call the death wobble at high speeds. I talked to some bike racers and was told to stiffen the forks and shocks. New rear S&W street strokers and beefed up front fork seals and ran them at 30PSI. That worked perfectly, no wobble up to top speed. The Custom was not meant for performance but with a header and decent suspension i could keep up with a 1981 Yamaha SECA in high speed turns.
The Honda CB750F is a bike I can relate to. I bought a brand new silver and blue 1980 model back in the day. It was a sport bike that an average person could ride. The bars were not bolted onto the ends of the front axle, and the pegs were not where the rear turn signals should have been. It was a sensible bike. I had a lot of fun on that bike. 5 years later Suzuki and Kawasaki would destroy everything forever with the GSX-R and Ninja. Those were not sporty street bikes, they were all out roadracers with lights. They were virtually unrideable and very dangerous in normal riding conditions, not so much because of their power, but because of that ridiculous riding position that just didn't work in stop and go traffic with intersections. Bikes like the CB750F were the final evolution of truly rideable sporty street bikes. What followed them were hideous abominations.
Uwielbiam ten motocykl .mam z 81 roku. Czerowno czarny cały w oryginale .najlepszy motor jakim jezdzilem a mialem wiele
I had 2 1980 Honda CB750F's. Once I got out of first gear I never used the clutch for shifting.
Got a 78 super sport . Sound of the simple cam is amasing !
I just bought a cb750F 1982 shed find which I'm about to fully restore myself. hasn't driven in over 10 years. I'll be recording the whole proces. Sounds really good and cannot wait until I jump on my motorcycle :) !
I had a blue one back in the mid 80's.
Nice @@jakerazmataz852 I'm very eager on riding them !
They also came with really cool adjustable clip on style bars.
I just picked up a '79 750-F, exact same black with orange/red stripes like this bike, but the stock twin exhaust. Sounds great, and so comfortable. And the speedo goes up past 85 mph - the orange numbers go all the way to 150. 🙂
I bought a 79 in April, in July I bought a 83 1100F. The 750F is sweet but the 1100F is great, a joy to ride. I put 3600 miles on the 79. I've got 1600 miles on the 83. Love to ride them both!
I own this bike only 82 black motor. I've had it many time at 135 deep into redline. It's heavy ,but loves the twisty roads. I ride it hard! 42thousand mi. 30 I put on it. All stock except bars. ✌
My first new bike was a black 1980 Honda CB750F. Bought it after graduating high school and I remember paying $2,200 otd.
Does anyone else wonder what people in the other cars are thinking seeing a bloke on a motorcycle waving his arms around in motovlog videos 😀
Lol. The guy in front " what the hell does this nut want?"
That reminds me as a kid, i used to have friends looking in the windshield of cars and telling me that's how fast they go according to the speedometer. Laughing to myself I knew that that was ridiculous even at the time when I knew nothing. However recently a guy posted on the internet that the speedometer on a motorcycle was the actual top speed. I had to tell him what was up immediately. I wanted to pull my hair out of my head. It bothers me to no end when people post wrong information on a constant basis on social media in every subject.
What a beautiful machine, great job lads, Im going off topic here, but I have a 1992 Honda CB400 Super Four which I had to park up due to the loom melting and the bike not been looked after by her former owner, so I will be getting her restored early next year when I can save up a few €€€, I can't wait.
Great bikes,just got myself a 1980 Cb 750 custom as a project
I had one and I loved it and yes it had a Kerker four into one header with a Kerker dynamite kit in the carb's.
I had the '80 silver version, 2.3 seconds to 60mph, neutral handling, was a dream. I should be dead from the way I rode. Buddy had a black one, I was riding backseat and we got busted doing 125. Cop had a Kawasaki 600, let us off with a warning.
My father bought 2 identical bikes one for me and one for my older brother and he had a Gold Wong... Nice people and future hells angels ( my brother 😄) ride Hondas... 😅 It was my high school graduation present. That year my family rode around North America starting home in San Francisco and making one big giant 46 days loop.. I could write a full article on this story. If you saw my parents you would NEVER belive they rode motorcycles. Yes, this was my first street legal bike.... My first motorcycle was a... Honda of course.... The legendary fully bullet and child PROOF XR 75!! Any way.... My Super sport has many fun stories to tell..... Like swapping out Vehicles for the night with friends that had the hot cars for when a girls parents would not let me take their daughter out on my bike... 😅 But I did have many gfs over the years and their parents would let me take their daughters away on my bike.... One father expected me to sit with him first and tell him what the basic evening plan was all the while drinking a beer with him.... At 16 years of age 😮... I am 194cm...6'4"...some parents were always so surprised that I wanted to go out with their daughter... 😅😅 So, the ergos on this bike were never an issue.... I did have to replace foot pegsdue due to clearance..... Issues😁 my father scolded me for racing up in the hills.... HIGHWAY 9....SKYLINE BLVD.... 84 at Alice's to the coast..... And my summer rides throughout the Sierras mostly North Lake Tahoe... Awesome bike, no issues except for the stupid Speedometer... 😄 Great video. Thank you for a trip down memory lane.. 😅 YEA, Kerkers, super trap and Vance n Hines were popular then. 😊🌴🙏 Living in Beautiful Gorgeous Bangkok Thailand 🇹🇭 fora very long time these days.... Still on a.. HONDA!! 😅😅🙏
Nice bikes
In the mid 90s I had 4 CBs 3 750Fs and a 900f that you couldn't do more to get more power except put if you put a turbo on it.
I had that 900 up to 200 mph on radar. ( I don't need to go that fast ever again )
5 mile long straight road between 2 wheat field.
The cop pulled up next to me said you were doing 200, DON'T do it again, then pulled away.
Now I have a few bikes one of them being a CB750C with bad carbs (working on it today)
love these four bangers, and Hondas are the $hit
Surely you mean 200 kilometers.
@@throttlecompany the cop said 200 mph
this bike was fast and I had it toped out
Still have that exact bike, 20k on the clock, getting ready to sell it, it's been amazing. Learned to ride on this exact bike back in '86 or so. Hard to let it go.
I’m interested in speaking with you about your bike. Let know how to reach you. I’m in N VA. Thanks
@@whitneyestate1402
Standby, gotta get a good comms method up if you are serious. NOVA too. Cheers!
@@whitneyestate1402 still interested? I haven't moved until you respond. Cheers!
@@81cb750fss yes I am. How do I reach you?
Cool as xxxx
Love this, I have a black 1979 one
The 79 has preban gauges. Yes it goes higher then 85.
I have a 1979 love to have it fixed up
I have the same exact 750 !!i still enjoy ridein the shit out of it 😆
This one is nice
love it! might have to pick up one from my neighbor who is selling a 78'...............hmmmmmm
I recall this model as having an exactly square bore to stroke ratio, as was the case with a Kawasaki Z900 I had in the 1970's. I'm not sure if this results in a smoother engine with the Honda, vs its bigger 900 undersquare brother but years ago, a pal's oversquare Z1000 was a lot buzzier than my Z900.
Damn sold that quick ! I was comin to get it ! But thats ok cause Im workin on the coin for that CBX you got in your shop !!! Yep its Clark
Nice, I had the exact same bike when I was 20 yrs old, about 20 years ago
Jeez that first traffic light you stopped at took FOR EVER to change wtf
You should do an “In the Loop” with my ‘77f!
oh I'd like to see that as well!
Enjoyable review of a cool bike. I had a 79 CB750K, so the 81 F brings back good memories. FWIW, the 85mph speedometer mandate was part of the legislation for the 55mph National Speed Limit. My K topped out about 115, and the F models were a bit faster - 120-125mph.
The CBX was/is a really great bike, but "fast" had a slightly different meaning 40 years ago. My 82 topped out at about 130mph indicated, probably 125 actual. The 79's were the fastest, but 140 indicated /135mph actual was it. Not 150-160.
Thanks!
Miss mine in same color 😭
had a 900 same colors
mind me asking what setup you use to get the sound so clear while driving?
Just GoPro with the media mod and a Sony stereo lavalier mic clipped inside the helmet. Sometimes I’ll use a zoom H1 for more control of the mic recording levels. But it isn’t required.
To all previous owners, was it reliable? On forums some people claim there were lots of issues and now parts are hard to find. That true?
How much did you sell it for?
What's the difference between an F motor and an E Motor? You know, 1969 750E. Besides twin cam's.
Cruise 75/80 all day long
Don’t know how it got it’s name super-sport with only 75 hp , not much more
than the original K series single cam classic 10 years earlier.
What was the difference between the CB750F and the CB750K
All DOHC 750K's had 4 into 4 exhaust
I have a 1982 Honda 750 with original exhaust pipes, but my bike is black looks nice. The original paint was blue.
As far as I know, all of the 2nd generation750 motors had the same horse power, just different frames, suspension and exhaust. The K model was the basic 750. Frames might be the same, I don't realy remember.
