private sale 1978 Honda CB750F
996 kms
Last year for the single overhead cam series (SOHC) …..all totally unmolested, unrestored and original…..the black F series had more performance than previous models with larger valve set at improved angle and a racier cam for better breathing………….5 speed trans and triple disc brakes.
This bike was traded in at a Honda dealer in Sask Canada in the mid 80’s and it sat on a display shelf until the early nineties when I purchased it and since then has sat in heated storage.Before it went on display the gas tank and carbs were drained and some oil poured into each cylinder. A couple of times a year the engine was kicked over several times to keep an oil film on the cylinder walls but it has not been started .You would be responsible to get it up and running if that was your desire.
flaws…, factory painted left side cover was missing but replaced with a black cover which now has a crack in it (someone sat on the bike and didn’t put the side stand down all the way.. placing their knee into the cover) The points cover has a small ding as well as the underside of one exhaust pipes and there are a couple of small chips in the paint on the gas tank
The oem muffler is new and the engine has never been run with it on..
This CB750F was actually built in the 4th month of 1978 so is one of the last ones of the SOHC series as I believe the next month or two,early production of the Twin Cam or DOHC 1979 model series started.(totally different engine)
It has the original owners manual and tool kit under the seat.
Hate to part with this but I need to slim down my collection due to financial reasons and space considerations.
So if you would like to own a next to new original example here is a rare opportunity.I am selling this CB750F as is and not running
Private sale
I do have a shop and can get it up and going but for extra cost..some people prefer the satisfaction of doing the work themselves.
