RE: Who Had a CB750
indianrider, the second and third pics are awesome.

My younger brother had a 78. Bought it new. He has often mentioned how it was one of his favorite bikes.

I think forum member Hondahoarder has one now.

Goes to show what a great design that engine was, lasted about 10yrs without many updates.

I went from this 350 yam, to a CB750.

So many great machines from that series. While most folks seem to most fondly remember the "F" models, I've always loved the early 80's 750, 900 and 1000 Customs. Beauties all!

I had a '75 and a '78 back in the 80's. Back then those bikes were just yesterday's news and widely available. Man I wish I held on to some of that old furniture.

Technically, the DOHC 750 stayed in production from 79 to 08. An even 30 years.

After the last CB700/750s Nighthawk S in '86, the engine continued life in Europe and Asia as the CBX750. That morphed into the last generation Nighthawk here in the states and an upgraded version for Euro/Asia called the CB SevenFifty or F2. The last DOHC 750 was a Japan-only version in '08/'09 like this one :

Thaks Flyn ...I didn't think about the rest of the world, just my little piece of the big blue marble. I like that last Japanese version ...like an updated Nighthawk 750.

RE: Who Had a CB750
That Japan version looks very similar to our CB1100 of today with a few different plastic parts and FI instead of carbs.
