This was my first bike as a Bōsōzoku girl back in Japan. It had custom fairings with a Mitsubushi Zero paint job. Loved it so many memories of running wild thru Tokyo on it. Wish I had one over here in Scotland. Currently on a personally customised 96ci Harley FXDB Street Bob but changing soon to a Yamaha XV1900 - cant wait!
@@OverrideTV As far as Japanese Motorcycle's I owned only 3. My first was a brand new Yamaha 80 then I moved up to a Honda 400 Hawk that was used in excellent condition two cylinders two carburetors to exhaust pipes I paid $500 for it was a great bike after that was a brand new Honda 750 4 cylinders four carburetors for exhaust pipes great motorcycle never had any problems with any of them
This bike holds one of the worst memories for me. At 17, I watched a Good Friend get killed on his. Was a bad night. One that I've lived far to many times!! Riders For Ever!!! Right!! Still got my 75 F!! We've done/did a lot for miles together before and after. Always in my thoughts, Brother!! RIP Eric, I still owe you a big one. Say Hi to Tracy for me, Please!!
Sorry to hear that however everybody I know that rides a motorcycle I believe knows one person that either got killed or got injured very badly comes with the territory when driving a two-wheel vehicle especially when there is no room for error and then you mix in cars trucks so on I was actually hit by a car on the way to work with my Honda 750 it's now many years later and I'm still suffering from back pain
I have 1 brand new looks drives like first day my 2nd same machine since early 80s till now I got create survivor look beautiful all OG super Nice with kerk pipes like new gorgeous show Bike first place winner 🏆
I had a new Honda 750 in 1984. My speedometer did not stop at 85 although one of my new cars did have that feature that I hated. I wasn't the original owner of the car I actually picked up the payments from my father-in-law that's how I ended up with that car the motorcycle I bought brand new on my own
hiya, that is a very good and "accurate review" of the 1979-82 Honda CB750F. Nice job and video as well. I was a Honda dealer service manager here in San Diego when those were new and flogged many of them (and every other bike I got my hands on) all over here. I liked all the "F" models. I was Service Writer at Old PB Honda (near the beach. next to Kontiki motorcycles) and ran "New" PB Honda's Service Department (up near Highway 5) for a couple of years. A few comments; That bottom end (of the engine) rubble at idle indicates that the carbs need to be resynched. When all is right, there is no abnormal noise like that. Soft shoes (that don't protect your ankles) don't allow for a firm clean shift. A steel toe boot is far better. Low/no leverage Clip-ons and/or "Clubman" handlebar, without rear sets (that Honda offered as an accessory) make for a miserable riding position unless you are a serious mountain rider or do track days or road racing. What is called a "Superbike" handlebar (also a Honda Accessory then and still available in the aftermarket) is a far better choice than the stock handlebar. It/ that bike is in DIRE need of New tires. A set of Metzler Lazertec would be a very good choice. One Mod that would REALLY help (since you are needing tires anyway) is find a Comstar 18" front wheel and ditch the 19". The bike will turn far better than with the stock wheel. The Honda CX500/650 Turbo's had that size wheel. I think there may have been a few others. It's well worth the effort to do that Mod. Get rid of those stock shocks (they were pretty much junk (ie no damping) even when new) and get some proper & slightly longer gas shocks (Progressive Suspension, Koni's, Work's Performance, Ohlins, etc) with springs matched to you and the bike's weight. SPEND the money!!! You don't have to be a racer to appreciate how you were able to dodge that blind old lady who just turned left in front of you!!!! Good luck with the sale of your bike. Having written many crash estimates, it looks to be very straight, at least from all the angles I could see in the video. If I wasn't deep into Electric 2 wheelers now, and too old to be "sporty", I'd consider your bike a good buy and with the modes I suggest, a really fun and competent bike. Good Luck. Ride safe and have fun. cheers Boots Langley La Mesa, Ca
If you're a bike guy and you say that he gave a reliable and accurate review then you were able to catch the two mistakes that he made. The first technical mistake he made was in the very beginning when he was going over the engine he stated that was a four-cylinder double overhead cam that part was true. The mistake he made was when he was driving it he said it's clear as day I'm enjoying the sound of a typical Honda four-cylinder single overhead cam engine. Confusing people that are trying to learn his second mistake was very minor as English is probably not his first language as I hear the accent he was talking about that it was getting 35 miles per gallon as far as gas mileage was concerned and by accident he said 35 miles per hour gas mileage that I can understand the first mistake should have been changed before he released the video onto RUclips as you don't want to mislead the newbies.
I had a new one in 1984 it was double overhead cam and my speedometer thank God did not have that restriction of 85 mph however one of my new cars had that on it I will never forget it was a Pontiac.
Got my 75 F in 79 with a kill under her belt and a crunched front end. 8 rebuilds and 300k++ miles she now sits with a 912cc big bore kit and $8600 in new parts. I love that girl!!
My buddy Eddie had the black 82 750f super sport that had original breather box and exhaust. At a roll you could clutch it and open it up, it would raise the front tire an inch or so and start smoking the back tire then you'd need a good 10 minutes to calm your nerves and get your hands from shaking. That bike would srceam. Idk if it was bone stock or slightly jetted with a small cam but looked absolutely stock. This was in tn back around 86/88. You have a gorgeous bike. Ebay sales oem decal kits. They'll only go up in value especially in stock condition. Should have it repainted original color with decals but that blue sure looks sweet
This was my 1st street bike I bought from my neighbor in 1986 for only $750 dollars I have so many fond memories of this bike it was great but too much for me at age 16 being a 130 pounds.and not a care in the world..
Sorry, sounds like it had a bad ending? Sucks you had it only two weeks. Wow. I hope you were not hurt. Im hoping to buy an 81 750 F next month. Its dangerous out there but as someone once told me 'you have to live' and we cant be ruled by our fear. But sometimes even death or serious injury takes care of that. It will take me a long time to fix it up so we wont be out there any time soon and maybe by then I'll just sell it and save the hazards.
@@pipersall6761 I broke my foot in the middle of summer, cast for weeks. Fine now. Oh, this was '84ish. It was totally my fault. I gave up bikes after that. Good luck with yours, whatever you do.

Have the 750c built like a scrambler fun bikes
5peed😢 they killed it.
The tank and covers are very "Nighthawk" like.

My 1979 CB750k has a 0-150 speedo. Must have been manufactured just before
The stupid 80 MPH speedometer started in 1980.
I have the 1979 CB750 DOHC Limited Anniversary Edition which I got in 79 -
What's the seat height? How tall are you and how comfortable is the seat height for you?
Seat height is 31 inches (790 mm). I'm 6ft tall and fit perfectly fine on it with room to spare, so even someone a bit shorter could handle it well.
Looks like San Diego county

Yep, specifically in Del Mar (on the South side towards Torrey Pines)
