Low Reserve! Absolutely Beautiful 1976 Honda CB750 F1 Super Sport. Almost showroom condition! It has a low 23k miles looks, runs and rides fantastic! The only things that show slight age are the tires, they still have plenty of tread but show a tiny little bit of checking. It was also brought to my attention the seat does not have the passenger strap. I apologize to the people viewing the bike, didn't mean to over look that. So if you have any questions please ask as I know my pictures aren't the best. I LOVE this bike, but I need to thin out my collection a little. This is an absolute gem of a motorcycle. Buy it and take it straight to some shows! Also, they aren't pictured on the bike but I have the mirrors(flawless). Here's a little history on these magnificent bikes.... In 1975, the 750 K5 with its distinctive stacked mufflers was joined by the Honda CB 750 F Super Sport with a sportier 4-into-1 exhaust. The Honda CB750F also wore a new, slimmer-looking (but 0.3-gallon larger) gas tank with a recessed filler covered by a lockable plate, and a disc brake replaced the rear wheel’s mediocre drum brake. In spite of its radical-looking (for Honda) exhaust, changes to the basic 750 Four plot were minor. Reduced trail and a longer swing arm improved straight-line stability, while a stiffer frame and suspension changes improved handling in the corners. And although the engine was claimed to be unchanged, the new exhaust system brought minor adjustments to valve timing and carburetors, which, according to Cycle magazine, also eliminated the K-bike’s off-idle flat spot. Whether it was the new exhaust (and revised air box) or some undisclosed engine modifications, the F produced considerably more power than the K-bike. Cycle magazine recorded 58hp at the rear wheel compared with 49hp for the 1973 K3. This, combined with lower gearing, meant a standing quarter in the high 12s instead of the 13s. On the road, the improvements made for a comfortable ride and precise steering: “… it handles better than any of the other Japanese superbikes,” said Cycle.Honda's CB750 put an end to European dominance in motorcycling. While Europeans preferred small to midbore bikes, Norton, Triumph, BSA, Triton, Ducati, Moto Guzzi and others all offered similar-size sport bikes. What they didn't offer was the CB750's in-line four-cylinder engine, low maintenance and reliability in a motor that would not leak oil. The CB750s manufactured through 1982 remain classics and among the most popular motorcycles ever made.
