My all-time #1 motorcycle. Brought mine in 1978 and put over 250,000 miles over 7 years of riding. Great to see and hear the sounds.....loved mine!

[@dgoodlin1]

I just purchased this very bike from the guy who bought it from you in Boise Idaho. I love seeing it in this video! She’s now #1 in my collection! Thanks for all that you guys do!

[@BorisW150]

Beautiful bike. I remember these new in Honda showrooms back in 1978. They were special then and today. As I recall the period tests had these F2's running the quarter in about 12.74 s. Even today that's respectable. Congrats on this gorgeous and classic machine.

[@lankaawe511]

Watching it on repeat just for the exhaust note ❤

[@stephenloflin9984]

Triple disc brakes in '78 was pretty badass.

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Jr. looked like he was about to lift that front wheel up! Lol....Y'all's town is beautiful. Beautiful trees. Nice hills. Nice roads, in great condition! Louisiana is flat as can be. No nice trees and woods. Torn up streets. Hot and humid as a Volcano. I would much rather y'all's cool and cold weather! Great video.

[@Unknown-bv7lv]

I rode this model . Beautiful bike . The engine sounded like a symphony

[@crankybear1236]

That is crazy how smooth it shifts!!!

[@luisvillagran972]

Yo tuve está moto a los 16 años y fue los más impactante emocionalmente,hablando en su tiempo,era como tener un ferrari con 16 años me sentí dueño del mundo..que moto..que recuerdos el sonido de su motor es único por dónde pasaba me miraban...

[@wrestlemaniacism1]

I had one of these in '78. Absolutely loved it. 👍💕

[@jean-philippemaurer4157]

Passed 70 pretty quickly! And you weren’t really pushing it. Impressive!

[@stephendall2329]

This is same as the one I had, sold it before being transferred to Germany. I had rear springs shortened and new foam in seat to lower it down a couple inches.

[@tomnekuda3818]

My brother had this exact bike.....most of the time I saw it only on the rear wheel. He was very, very good. Unfortunately, he hit a deer with it on a very dark night after he'd just passed a car. Was very lucky but ground his knee down to the bone pretty badly. Helluva bike.....same color,everything.....

[@chrishorgan2372]

My Dad got one of these in the late seventies/early eighties to replace his Gold K4, 750/4. I had a 1976 750/4 F1 (single disc @ front) in 1983/84. It was a nice bike but the stainless steel discs were a bit scary in the rain in Europe!

[@brianjones4026]

I bought a Super Sport 1969 back in 1989 for 300 dollars ! It had just undergone a full rebuild nd was painted all black with four into one pipes, was a Brute of a Bike ! ! I ran it from Los Angeles down the Interstate10 to New Orleans in the middle of June and it ran all the way like Japanese clockwork and I made it in 3 and half days with sleeping tow nights to give you an idea of my average speed on that trip of trips in my life ! I sold it to some cop in Louisiana for 350 dollars, wish i hadn't !! As i recall it was registered as being from 1969 .... seems like this is very early no !!

[@skeeskeeter6994]

I club AAMRR road raced that exact bike... It was pretty wallowy at first got it fixed up coming into turn 8 at the old Loudon track I joined the "drop a valve for lunch bunch"... Nault's rebuilt my engine for $0.00...

[@chrislang8553]

Had a 78 cb750f with the 836 kit, progressive front and rear. Had to paint the frame and rest of the bike. Still wish I had it. Basically gave it to a friend when I moved out of state. Can't believe how much they are selling for nowadays.

[@tonycraib5939]

I had a 76 model many years ago it was yellow in colour with the spoke wheels . I wish that I still had it./ Great bike.

[@markmath2883]

I bought a new red 1976 SS in 1977 when stationed in El Paso. Was a great, fun bike to ride in NM, as well as rode it to SD. Returning to El Paso from Sioux Falls, I gassed up late at night in Colorado, got on entrance ramp and hit the gas, zooming by a patrol car. He pulled me over and gave me a kindly warning to slow down.

[@daneaxe6465]

Oohh that smooth sound and acceleration. Bought one new exactly like the one in the video. Sold it years ago but the next two owners didn't ride it, so a friend of mine bought it and was going to restore it but its sitting in storage. Shortly after I bought it put a Shadco or Shadow fairing on it, which means the original headlight came off with the attachments. I was impressed how Honda workers could squash so much wiring into so little space behind the lamp. Any rate, I'd like to see it restored and take a ride down a smooth road for old memories sake. Its the only motorcycle I didn't crash. My spine is messed up a bit so motorcycling not a good idea any more.

[@kristercarlson2635]

Hot damn! That 750 looks like it just came out of the crate! *insert drool here*

[@Rocksoup77]

Had one just like it, only in black and orange. Great bike. That thing is a beauty!

[@GrievenceCapitolist]

I just completed a blackout and orange . you have great taste too lol

[@serberious]

I had one of those babies from new, a brilliant bike if a little on the heavy side.

[@igotatan1]

Back in the day, I had a '78, F2 SS, man was it fast. I had two mechanics say ... no way am I riding that again... it was an original Honda test bike from Texas. It had a balanced, blue printed 750 bored to 883. I miss it.

[@Ruidac0]

Love your reviews of the different cb750s, specially de supersport

[@wingmanhoy3999]

Awesome beautiful, and excellent review, all the best.

[@thomaswichert54]

Cb 750 f2 was my very Best bike!!!!❤

[@garyburbank3537]

Awesome bikes the bikes that started today's Honda CBR600RR

[@frankroden8233]

I had the same bike ..I wished I never sold it !!!!

[@danielphelps8560]

Bro,you are definitely the man I need to talk to. Everybody else either keeps ignoring me,because my wife and I are disabled,raising a 14 yr old boy,and don't really have 2 nickels to rub together. But I just purchased (for too much I think,but have been told I got a good deal,if I could put some money in it) a partially stripped down,painted up,and NOT put back together (which was also not fully disclosed,at all,but noticed after I had already gotten the bike home (longer story)lmao, 1978 Honda Cb750K with original in-line 4. I would love to fix it up,wasn't really looking for that style bike,but it was all I could afford,i was really looking for a 99 shadow ace,and the guy made it sound like 10-15 dollars was gonna have it running,but from what my "very untrained eye" can see idk. I do know my front brake is somehow disconnected (it just freely moves back and forth),no shifter(splines coming out of transmission,just no pedal),gas tank is disconnected,(with missing parts,but as far as I know,no leaks) seat is not mounted(also appears to be missing parts),no cap on tank,or lock on gas door;a lot of possibly minor items that to me right now seem out of reach if u know what I'm saying. Any hints on how to get these parts next to nothing would be appreciated. Once I have it running I plan to either trade or sell to get my shadow(or dyna),but I can't sell,and should not have been allowed to purchase this bike,and he knew my intent was to be on 2's asap. Please help. Thanks for your time and consideration

[@EvokDubstep]

Damn that thing can pick up speed.🙌

[@zandvoort8616]

Bloody gorgeous!!!

[@smokeymcbongwater3561]

Sweet bike

[@joedeleon3435]

Hey Kenny Jr why don't you make a video of your Kawasaki Z1 900 brother I would love to see that bike of yours!

[@GrievenceCapitolist]

Just finished up my black 78 ss . I'm watching this because it's 42f today and only did 40 clics .

[@estebanlopez104]

What fork oils do these bikes use? Anyone know?

[@jtscottjr1]

Anyone have a link to that Kerker exhaust?

[@cesarfauve2612]

It a beauty !!

[@dwightpenn9475]

I have this 78ss . Just needs put back together.

[@michaelanthonyalfedparker2886]

Sounds nice

[@franciscoramoncleriguesrov7187]

Preciosa máquina, adoro el arranque a patada.. start kick off or foot start clásic lovint. The color is beatiful 🤤🤤and sound adicted. Thank from spain

[@willthetrill4849]

Can’t think of Mad Max when I see one of these since they used 2 of these in the movie

[@Supernova897]

This one is exceptionally nice! Got myself a '77 Super Sport two months ago running almost as smoothly. It's got the spoke weels, but also has 3 disc brakes. Can anyone tell me if they've been delivered out of the factory like that?

[@senyah750]

Super Sports had the Comstars, not spokes. But yes, 3 discs were factory.

[@gossipcrunch]

Why your store page has no bikes listed

[@kor-romes]

Watching the video I had a strong feeling you were in New England.

[@ssk1258]

Hi. Guys....how much so so one bike like this today?? Thanks

[@stuartperry4562]

Gearbox won’t be silky smooth for long if you keep banging it down the box like that. I’m surprised with you being a dealer. Also put some proper kit on. You’ll come a cropper one day flying down that high street so you’re going to need it. Very nice bike.

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

Stuart Perry Yeah, the worst gear shift i’ve ever heard - and just about the worst riding too.

[@philipbell3187]

I had one from new, it went back to dealers as it was a job dropping from second to first, they had it 2weeks , but I had a bad crash on a Suzuki ts250 , so had to sell here , wish I had here today .

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

You have to blib the trottle a bit and be at almost stand still before you can engage first gear. Especially from second.

[@st-qd8wg]

@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 I was Really feeling sorry for bike and Rookie Rider that is more in to Dirt Bikes goes for test Run slammed gears Left & Right racing engine up and giving unnecessary gas to engine horrible Test Drive to bike that Deserve better Rider. For Sure.

[@st-qd8wg]

Absolutely Horrible un silky test Drive abused gear box and racing motor up n down this guy is dirt bike semi Rider from his behavior definitely Horrible Test Drive for gorgeous bike should be Riden with common sense I'm glad it's sold

[@eduardoperez-tv6qz]

I had that bike in 1978 ,stuped me i sold it for $2,500 now is a vintage worth $15,000

[@hoppy760]

So $3k for one with 13,000 miles is a good deal?

[@SamuelTrudeau]

I have a 75' cb750k and I was thinking of cutting the frame and welding a loop on the rear but man now I'm thinking of rebuilding it original :/

[@1notgilty]

Don't do it! They're only original once and that's where the value is located.

[@oilinmyblood3906]

Yeah brother I would not cut the frame, keep it original, they are worth far more in original condition than they are customized, you won't go wrong if you restore her back to original

[@johnmeurer4780]

Same i have a 1975 cb750k5 too, and a 78 750k. Don't cut it! I have a cheap fender illuminator on mine for the brake light and plate, makes it much more sporty. It was my first bike, I won't ever sell it even though I only rode them for several short rides last year. Its art in my garage.

[@dtacklind]

I have the black one that I bought new in '78. I paid $2100 cash out the door back then. I wonder what it's worth now?

[@guybroner]

i have a 550 super sport in that shape whats it worth

[@presstodelete1165]

The 50th aniversary of the ohc 750 dragged up anything with that engine

[@kdryan21]

My first bike...

[@calom4823]

Look to good ! People need to stop repaint those block i love them with life missing little paint !

[@sebastianlaczewski63]

Biutyful !

[@Tom-lq6nn]

I had a black one.

[@TNTORNADO]

Wow!!!!!

[@manasseh7]

Just bought a 74 RD350 but damn do I want a Honda cb750

[@rocket2811]

Where did you get the rd350 from ? local ? Nthng can beat RD350 exhaust as two stroke

[@manasseh7]

Yes here on Long Island..turned it into somewhat of a scrambler. Might sell before summer is over

[@rocket2811]

shane michaels If I can ask was it all original when you got it..How much on an average can we pay for a clean one .

[@manasseh7]

IQUIQI IQUIQi yes it was needed a battery and rectifier and now i’m rebuilding the carbs. cost me 2200 but some people want 3k+ at least

[@OllieAlston]

I had a maroon colour 74 RD 350 wheelie machine i used to tease the cops with in England in the 70s a great Fun bike it was untill i flipped it over wheeling on my main street in 3rd gear and the bike dismantled its self as i slid along on my boney ass. Sold it and bought a maroon colour 76 F1 super sport........Great memories of both bikes, Especially the RD on the back wheel in town from first to 3rd gear when the lights changed from red :))

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

750 F3. The final incarnation.

[@specialse]

nice bike .....but brutal gear changes , and no riding gear on damp roads :-/ fast forward to latest security cam video .....

[@johndoe-ve3zp]

one of my customers has a 1976 in his garage he is 80 and in poor heath and he sold it to me for 500 dollars i was so shocked that he would let it go so cheep he bought it new and it looks like it just came out of the factory

[@krabkrabkrab]

oil cooler's not stock either.

[@tobias1177]

mi zanellita acelera mas

[@maxhenry9724]

Didn’t even ask what he wanted? Just sold. I’d go broke.

[@hoyvintagecycles2936]

Looks like one i just serviced this last summer. www.hoyvc.com if you are looking for more bikes for the museum we come across them all the time.

[@Brutaga]

Lovely old bike, but terribly overweight and slow. Had one exactly the same and they were a sad following of the earlier models

[@LifeWideOpen780]

Iam from the Alberta and I thought we had shitty roads but yours look worse

[@070103]

いかすぜ、おまえら。😱

[@philhill7973]

Jesus your riding is so rough.
