Clear Title in Hand call Daniel with questions 512-658-3903On Nov-23-18 at 09:47:25 PST, seller added the following information: The CB750 was a big and rather heavy bike with high handlebars, intended as an all-rounder. But it still whistled to a top speed of about 125mph (201kph), handled reasonably well and sold in huge numbers worldwide. In the 1970s, Honda did relatively little to uprate the CB750, which meant that it lost ground to newer rivals including Kawasaki’s 900cc ZI, which arrived in 1973. The Honda actually lost some performance, as its engine was detuned to reduce emissions. When it was given a facelift to produce the CB750F in 1976, the new bike’s Hat handlebars, racier styling, vivid yellow paintwork and four-into-one exhaust system were let down by a top speed of below 120mph (193kph). The DOHC, 16-valve CB750K of 1979 had an unreliable engine and poor handling, all of which seemed a far cry from the brilliance of the original CB750. Although the CB750’s engine formed the basis for many specials and racebikes throughout the 1970’s, the Honda made less of an impact on the track that in the showrooms. In 1969 the original version of the CB750 was released. The bike had louvred side panels, all-cable throttles, a tiny seat hump and plastic instrument lenses. Also, first 7400 or so have “sand cast” crankcase.The 1971 version had beam-operated throttles, restyled airbox and oil tank with new emblems. The bike also received the white tank lettering and the black front brake caliper. Let’s not forget something: this is the year with the biggest-selling CB750The following year, the bike (K2) was improved with restricted silencers, altered rear shocks and a metal chainguard instead of plastic. In 1973 it’s K3 for U.S. The bike got improved front fork and five-way adjustable shocks. The K3 also features new tank graphics, restricted air intake, front disc water guard and running lights in indicators. In 1974 the bike (K4) didn’t improve too much. Only three vertical braces in cylinder head side fins.Next year the K5 had bigger indicators and rubber-tipped “flip-up” side stands.1976 is the year when the CB750 got its stronger swingarm and in 1977 the K7 featured a F1-type engine and single carburetor accelerator pump. Plainer silencers, 17in rear wheel width wider tire, 0-ring chain and flush fuel filter also were added that year.In its final year of production (1978) the bike remained the same besides the two-tier seat and some minor engine tweaks.
