Here was an immensely successful exercise in styling. For six years Honda had been selling the CB750K, a superbly technical motorcycle with such innovations as an electric starter and disc brake, but low on looks.

Undoubtedly there were some who liked the somewhat plain four-piper design, but the Honda marketeers were quite aware that a sporty image was the coming thing. The Italians had “go-fast” built into all big bikes, the Germans had even made the R90S look pretty dashing, the Brits still had sportyish Triumph twins and triples, as well as the Norton Commando, and even Honda’s rather stodgy Japanese competition was enjoying speed fever. When Suzuki’s two-stroke triple Water Buffalo was getting higher marks for performance than the K, something needed to be done.

But what did the F stand for? Fast? Four-into-one? Actually, the F suffix had originated in 1972 with the CB350F—F for four cylinders, so as not to be confused with the CB350K twins.

Power was another matter. Honda did not necessarily like to advertise horsepower ratings, but dynamometers don’t lie—unless they are hopelessly miscalibrated, in which case it is not lying. The F put out a good 10 percent more ponies than the K, and while some of those 58 horsepower, at 8,000 rpm, could be attributed to the freer flowing qualities of the four-into-one exhaust, the rest came from a slight boost in compression ratio, using domed pistons, up from 9:1 to 9.2:1.

This however is no standard CB750, not even to the naked eye. This bike has had years of work put into it and it shows. With hard work comes great end results and that is what this bike is. The engine has been fully rebuilt around 5 years ago. This bike runs on historic plates were are not cheap or easy to get. Why fix something if its already so good and that’s why it has a stock engine with rejetted carbs to suit pod filters. Some more Extras that have been done are..

-New Delkevic 4 into 1 exhaust
