At 24 I bought a CB750 from 1993. Loved her 80's/early 90's look and fell in love with her. Less than a year later a drunk driver drove into me and destroyed her. My heart was absolutely crushed when the insurance company declared it unrepairable. She was more of a bright maroon than yours and with golden rims and she was just stunning to look at. Three months after the crash, I got the insurance money and, by cheer luck, my father saw one that looked exactly like mine apart from the mufflers. I called the owner and bought just one day after I got the money. The first one gave a few engine problems here and there due to mistreating ex-owners, but this second one is just a beauty and is a year older than the first (1992). That engine is like clockwork when you treat it right. CB750 RC42 is, by far, the best bike in the world. I'll never sell it. It is part of the family. I'm now 26 years old. Greetings from Portugal. Great video.

[@standupmoto]

Hello and thanks for your story, sad to hear you lost your first CB in such a brutal way but great to hear you got to replace it with another. And as it turns out you have one with a better motor , look after her with good oil and fuel, it will last forever.Great to hear from Portugal, passeio seguro.

[@stancoleshill8925]

Similar thing happened to me. (1980 Honda CB 750F) Car cut me off and I came in contact, knocked me off the bike onto her rear fender and I rode along on her fender watching my bike drive itself down the road in a straight line until the engine stalled and it fell over. They wanted to write this off too, but only one drain plug on the bottom of the right fork got broken right off and the oil came out. THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE WRITTEN OFF SO I DROVE IT BACK HOME AND SAID NO WAY. It was a perfect time to buy a 4 into 1 exhaust with my insurance money, and I bought a new fork leg for $100 and put it on myself. SO EASY ! Basically ONE BOLT holds on the leg ! SOOOOOO GLAD that I bought a 4into 1 chrome exhaust. It sounded like heaven.

[@CommunismNeverWorked]

@@stancoleshill8925 Amazing how much affection we can get over a few pieces of metal and plastic on top of two wheels. So glad you could keep and repair your bike.

I'm 50, I have been buying repairing and riding these old bikes for years and selling them for a profit after putting a couple seasons riding on them.

I have the same one (CB750-RC42) since 1995. Never had any problems. It's a lifetime product. Honda ......built for eternity 👏👏👏

I am on my second one. Immaculate and all day comfortable. In the UK they make rubbish money for good examples.

[@standupmoto]

@@2ndcornets That’s great to hear you’ve had two, here in Aus a good one is hard to find & when you do deep pockets are needed . Look after her and ride safe.

[@erikloupias7511]

I got the same bike. Even the exact same colour. The bike now has slightly over 50.000 kms. experience and is from 1995. It is a great bike and suits my needs. This year, 2022, me and the bike are 100 years old if you add our ages. I am very satisfied with this simple and technically uncomplicated bike. No computer, no ECU, no ABS, no different ride modes. The rider controles it all completely and has no electronic aids.

[@standupmoto]

Great stuff, yes they are a simple reliable not to high tech machine to own. Enjoy your bike and take care of her, ride safe. Thanks for for sharing, cheers.

[@petev.9357]

I started my motorcycle career on an 83 650 Nighthawk. Then several 1100cc bikes or more, now back to my roots. Picked up a 92 750 Nighthawk. Wish it was your version. we get 1 ft. disc, drum rear, simple shocks, more forward pegs, 1 horn, smaller oil cooler, goes on and on. I still love it, will work fine for me.

[@standupmoto]

Well done Pete, look after her and you’ll get many years of good service, yes the Aussie version does have some nice goodies. Cheers.

[@ap06476]

It was my first big bike some 15 years ago. Mine was a beautiful specimen from 1997 - I have very fond memories of it. Silky smooth, reliable. It had this classic look to it with the chrome dual exhaust yet didn't have the usual quirks commonly associated with older bikes. Excellent machine.

[@standupmoto]

Great memories & good times, that’s what it’s all about. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@umakantgajjewar8898]

Looks much better than most of modern bikes, Honda must bring it back, but keep the costs down by avoiding too much unnecessary technology.

yes they are a fine looking machine for sure.

[@garywebb7481]

I’m from the U.S. and bought new a 1976 CB750 . Red with the mini crash bars, rear luggage rack and sissy bar and pad. Upfront I had installed a White enter fairing. JamesBond was big then..LOL and the fairings were very popular. I loved that bike and traded it two years later for a new Goldwing. At 75 I still own a ‘94 750 Magna V4 and have about 55,000 miles on it. I also own the CTX1300 V4. Still riding and as my friend says” twisting and grinning “ thank you for the video. I rode that version when it first came out and it was blistering fast for its day. I carried the front wheel through to fourth gear.

[@standupmoto]

Great Gary thanks for sharing, sounds like you’re a Honda man through & through. I had the ST1300 but I’m not sure we got the CTX1300 ???? Downunder but I’ll check. Glad you enjoyed the video, looking at bikes from yesterday always prompts great memories. Cheers mate, ride safe.

I have just purchased a ‘94 model, that has been ‘resting’ in a dry garage for a number of years. Appreciate such a comprehensive review of a traditional uncomplicated motorcycle. I have to tell you that I owned a ‘73 K2 in 1976, as a teenager ! Can’t wait to recommission the F2 and travel back down memory lane. Thank you for posting !

honda had really done their homework by the 80s.& it showed.i still own & ride an 84 magna.with proper maintenence, it will most likely outlive me.was fortunate to not have cam wear issues.limiting idleing & keeping revs over 3500 while cruising seemed to help upper oil supply issues.but that nighthawk is beautiful itself.great bikes.

Honda CB750SC Nighthawk is an older bike (1982), I had one, was a great bike with four exhausts. Honda CB 750 1993 are in Europe cheap to buy (+- 2500 Euro) , also a great bike for less money. For me was a game changer in 1993 when I bought the Kawasaki ZZR1100, this was for me 300 kph super comfortable bike

[@standupmoto]

the Honda 750 four changed a lot of the World Motorccling. i remember in the early 1970s 2 of my Uncles stopped by when they were out riding together with their wives one Uncle hada Harley ,the other a new Honda 750 four witha fairing the Harley was Chopped and the Honda couple was bragging on how quiet and Comfortable they were plus they were harassing each other about the Power. the Honda had as the Harley couldn’t get away from it onthe highway and the Upstate New York Catskills Mountain terrain my Dad was a Honda guy and always loved that model i myself have owned and rode many Hondas and the 750 four was my favorite to date for long distance cruising. with a Passenger the bike had plenty of Power and i loved the Center Of Gravity on that set up it’s almost like the perfect balance of engine ,weight ,and balance

Yes, in America, it is known as the Honda CB750 SC Nighthawk. My bike is a 1997, and I still have it. Honda made a lot of these bikes, but very few people in America know about them. Strange ...

Hi Ray, yes it’s a shame they are not that recognised as they are such a great machine.

I believe the Knight Hawk was the last version of the 750 Four Honda made. I'm the same age as you 10 years old in 1970. I first saw the CB 750 Four in the early 70's and have wanted one ever since.

Saludos desde España. Después de tener una docena de motos, hace unos pocos meses ha llegado a mi garaje un precioso ejemplar de Honda CB Seven Fifty del año 1999 (de las últimas unidades comercializadas en Europa). He obtenido este ejemplar en un magnífico estado de conservación. Solamente he tenido que ponerla a punto y disfrutar. Considero que es una muy buena moto y que su valor está en alza. Una auténtica "Old School", fácil de mantener y económica de usar. Gracias por el video. Creo que tanto usted como yo, en lugares opuestos del mundo, vamos a disfrutar de esta magnífica motocicleta. Un saludo.

Very nice rewiev. My dad has a 1994 Metallic Blue CB750 in his Garage with just about 9000km. Its all Original ( last model with "loud" exhaust) and cant wait to finally bring it back on the streets. Its like a time capsule. And I just passed my drivers license today :). And I'm also a HUGE fan of the design.

What a FIND! Thanks for the video. Such an eye opener. That AUS 1993 CB750 is an upgrade in a (Baker's) dozen ways over the 1993 CB750 Nighthawk available in the US: 1. Dual front disk brakes vs single. 2. Rear disk brake vs drum. 3. Upgraded rear shocks with reservoir. 4. Progressive rear springs. 5. Upgraded instrument cluster. 6. Gas tank 20 liters vs 18. 7. Superior locking gas cap. 8. Rear tail grab handle vs none. 9. Deep quality (pearl?) burgundy paint job vs budget solid paint colors. 10. Rear tire 150/70-17 (?) vs 140/70-17 11. Front tire 120/70 -17 vs 110/80-18 for modern sport tire selection. 12. Sculpted seat with an actual flat seating for rider vs simple rounded profile. 13. Standard center stand vs extra option. Bonus feature: protective drawer for owners manual. Does it have 6 speeds, or 5? I have 2 1/2 dozen (budget) bikes and I would trade several for this one! When you include the classic comfortable standard sitting position...What a perfect all around UJM bike! I gotta find one.

[@standupmoto]

Hi Papa I had no idea there were so many differences in the US model, you certainly paid attention to this video. I don’t really know why Honda would have the differences, I’ll have to do some research as to what they got in the UK & Europe. Thanks for pointing this out, I wonder if they still do that. Cheers mate and thanks for the comment 👍

[@papatorr3669]

@@standupmoto I'm a fan of the Nighthawk series from Honda. For instance I owned a Nighthawk S 700 back in the '90s, and another 2020 to 2022. 700 cc's in the USA in an effort to handicap Honda and give Harley an unfair advantage. The Canadians had a 750 version of the same bike. There was such a jump in mid-range torque from the 700S to the 750 Nighthawk that I sold the 700 S.

Wow under $2500 AUD ! that’s well priced for sure. I was under the understanding from the comments that this model wasn’t available in the US. I’d grab one for sure, one can never have too many bikes.👍

Hi Steve, we chatted up at cuddlee creek on Friday. This bike is 13 years newer than mine, motor is the same the 1980 bike but my brakes aren't vented and the rear shocks aren't remote reservoir. To be honest I wasn't even aware that Honda was still using this motor into the 90's. The later model is a very nice bike and as all things newer they are always an improvement on previous.

[@Midnight_Snakk]

Solid review! I just want to point out that 215kg is this bikes dry weight (without fuel, fork oil, ect). The bike, when fully fuelled, actually weights closer to 230kg. Not a big deal, but I felt it important to mention 😂

Cheers thanks for that, it certainly doesn’t feel heavy. It feels quite agile for a bike of this era. 👍

Enamorado de las cafe racer fue la primera moto q modifique, pero solo le hice modificaciones en la parte trasera de la moto. Al pasar el tiempo me fui enamorando de la máquina, es imponente y noble a la vez, tiene un tamaño tan versátil q en medio de motos pequeñas no es presumida y en medio de motos grandes no se intimida. El manejar es un elixir pese manejo una YAMAHA xsr700 del 2020 a inyección, no se compara con los 4 carburadores y el motor tetracilindrico del acb750 q te hace sentir la velocidad de otra manera.

Nice review. Thanks mate! I’m thinking of buying a CB750. I get the impression that you like your bike! 😉 By the way, as a child I lived in Elizabeth SA, about the time you were born. I now live near Victoria, BC, Canada. Back in the ‘80’s I owned a beautiful 1975 Honda 550 Four and sold it, you know the story…huge mortgage, kids, broke. That bike was so smooth, quiet and powerful. I do own a couple of bikes, a K1600GTL for two up touring, and a KLR650 for the logging roads, but the garage needs just one more motorbike…

[@standupmoto]

Gday Colin, thanks mate glad you enjoyed it. Yes I’m sure the CB would make a lovely addition to your family, I’ve had some feedback from just south of you (US) that this particular model of the CB wasn’t sold there. They still had a 750 but it was less a few of the goodies, maybe Nighthawk? 750. Not sure what you had there in C, yes I know Elizabeth. I haven’t actually been there since I was a kid in the 60s but General Motors AU manufacturing plant (Holden cars) was there until it closed a few years ago. Yes I’m old, the 550 was also a lovely bike, bit rare here nowadays. Good luck with your hunt, something will come up. Cheers mate ride safe. ps (have also got the 1600, great bike)

Hi Steve. I had a 1992 US import CB750 Nighthawk (RC38) when i was in the Uk. It Has a more teardrop shaped tank, only a single disc on the front and drum on the back. It looked just like a scaled up CB250 that was available here in Oz. I had to sell my bikes to fund the move to oz back in 2007 Now that the kids have all growed up it is time to get back into bikes. I'm hankering after a CB seven fifty (RC42) The US spec bike had the footpegs set too far forward and in order to brace against the wind at highway speeds I found i had to put my feet on the pillion pegs. To avoid this your only option is to fit a screen which ruins the whole look of the bike. Thanks for the great vid. Ive just had it on in the background with the wife in the room. I have to gradually get her used to the idea of me getting back into bikes again. She'll probably insist on me selling my cars first. Do you want to buy a '76 450se Mercedes or a '93 SAAB 900 convertible?

[@standupmoto]

Ah glad you enjoyed the video and yes I’d love the 450 but couldn’t afford to run it. Good luck with the Missus, just blame me if you get a bike, I’ll yell out if I hear of one for sale. Cheers.

Очень радует данный мот особенно по Российским дорогам едет великолепно 🤩

[@davidrochow9382]

Great looking bike .Verrry clean and well looked after . Among my many bikes I owned an old K2 750 and a 550 super sport ( I have no idea what model number it was ). I found the 550 a far better bike then the 750. It was a lot lighter and handled a lot better. I now have a 1982 Honda VF 750 Magna , American import ,. V4 , shaft drive, water cooled with a 6th gear or as the light on the dash say overdrive. I just put a set of YSS rear shocks on it and the handling is so much better (2022 compared to 1982 ). As for the historic rego mine was about $227 for three years plus the Ulysses club membership cost of about $100 for 3 years. The only complaint I have is the fuel tank is to small . The main tank is 10 litres and the reserve tank , which is hidden under the rhs side cover , is 4 litres. It gets around 20 k/l. As you said about your 750 it just about puts itself on the centre stand. I'm just wondering is the area you were riding the Barossa valley or around Clare?

i had the orange 550 super sport great first bike 1976/77

Hi David, glad you enjoyed the video. Bit of a combination of areas, Hahndorf & Mannum .

Hi Danny, that’s great. Happy riding 👍

I am 23 and want this for my first bike after I get my bike license.

[@standupmoto]

Hi, they are fairly big as a first bike. Usually I would recommend a bit smaller capacity lighter weight bike to get used the feel of riding on the road. However they really are a lovely bike, maybe while you’re getting your license on a lower capacity bike you could hunt out a tidy version of this one and make the switch when you are ready. It may take some time to find a good one.

[@carenthusiast6748]

The bike I ll ride on in the driving school is a mt07 and I am 193cm, should be fine I think. Here in Germany there are Hundreds of cb seven fifty's for sale on the used markets.. keeping prices around 2500€ for a well kept nice one. Price and reliability are the most important factors for me. Also most 400's and below are just to small.@@standupmoto

[@ravenlorans]

( ) = Updated info I have again a 81 Honda CB750 Custom. Had one back in 1990 when I was 16-26 and now again just a couple of months (years) ago at 48. Paid same price even both times of $2200. It's (Was) Completely Ride-able ( just enough to get it sold) But definitely needs a complete Restore ( Ran 4 times before dying ). Clutch Slips at Full Adjust, Valves Rattle and Maxed, Starters going out, Won't stay running Chocked and once warm.. Idles at 2g. Brakes squeak ( needed New master Cylinder ), Inside of the Fuel Tank is Rusted, Exhaust Ports leak, has Dual Exhaust instead of Four Pipes, Chain is Maxed out. Bike only has 27,300 on it. Previous owner abused it but it Looks Mint Condition. Has optional Luggage Rack and Back Rest. Guy threw in a Free Color Matching Mint Condition Cowl that would have made it look like a Gold Wing but didn't fit right for some reason ( Handle Bars were not the right ones ). More updated info. Got It Rebuilt to get it Running again. $5,000 later.. Got Most of it Rebuilt. Seat and Backrest Recovered. Still needs Exhaust work and a couple Minor things but is NOW Completely Ride-able as is. Now only has 350 miles on the rebuild. I LOVE It! Can Ride Up to 50mph with my Baseball Cap still on.. I do mostly In Town Riding anyway so that's cool.

[@standupmoto]

Great job, wow you have done some great work there. Yes they are worth the effort I think, keep going and get those pipes! Thanks for the story 👍

[@gordonturke4171]

I’m just about to pick up the same bike in black, for £350, non runner, needs a clean, it’s only done 23k miles

[@standupmoto]

Sounds like a bargain! Clean the carbies & jets, pop a bit of oil down the cylinders, change the oil & filter check for spark, pop I an air filter as the old one will probably start to break up, new fuel lines as the rubber will be perished, set of plugs and she should be good to start It’s a Honda.

[@rubo1964]

I am little jealous.In US we got pedestrian CB750 Nighthawk with pathetic styling cheap drum break and single disk at front when rest of the world got your bike miles better.Yes I am owner of CB750 1992 nighthawk...the ugly ducking.Been looking classic tanks to change my cruiser style tank.Really hate what US market got

[@standupmoto]

Hi Ruben, yes mate she’s a beautiful looking bike for sure but beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. The Nighthawk is a good bike with I think the same motor? Look after her they are starting to become few and far between for good ones. Cheers from Aus.

[@pleun315]

Ooooh i want one too 🙏❤️

[@FuelledByMuffins]

Love this bike, is the 2007 model the same as this one?

[@standupmoto]

Hi, I don’t think there was much difference at all with the 07. Maybe a couple of hp more and different colors but basically the same bike, by memory the 07 still had carburetors also.

[@battleshipnewjerseysailor4738]

The 650 & 750 "Nighthawks", are different from the CB 750.s as they were shaft drive

[@standupmoto]

Ok , something I wasn’t aware of. Thanks for the info 👍

[@flexywing]

Ove your bike reviews, one thing, could you give the mileage done, shows how well they have cope with the years

[@standupmoto]

Hi , yes an oversight on my part . I keep forgetting to do the mileage, this one has done about 70k Kms (43k miles) with no work being done on the motor according to the books. Still running perfectly 👍

[@szyslay]

I have it... my first bike. Almost none electronics :D Love it so much! :D MAde a video on my channel showing my model off - it is 2003 :D So quiet yet loud when you need it to ^_^

[@standupmoto]

Very cool!

[@JamesBond-lk5mr]

I have a 1992 Honda CB 750 nighthawk I bought it with 16,300 miles and now has 20,100 and change. The bike is not fast whatsoever The front end is too heavy for that little motor. You have to rev the snot out of it and drop the clutch to try and get her to stand up, she is very reliable

[@andersadler]

215kg is dry weight, add all fluid and the curb weight is 235kg.

[@standupmoto]

Thanks for the info 👍

[@andersadler]

And max load is 190kg giving a max total weight of 425kg

[@adewaleadegbamigbe5237]

What is the max speed

[@standupmoto]

Hi, this one tops out a little over 200 kph (125mph) indicated.

Great review! I own one as well. 1997 dark green with custom golden painted rims. The rest all stock and super condition. Only cost me 2100 euro here in the Netherlands 😊 Could you send me the manual? I’ve got the manual in German but my English is much beter. Thanks for your great review!

Thanks Pascal glad you enjoyed it, dark green with gold rims-nice. 👍That’s Aussie colours, there is a manual on line somewhere, I’ll find it and email the link to you. Send me an email with a pic of yours when you get a chance so as I have email. Cheers. [e-mail]

Hi John my email [e-mail]

[@crispernator]

Gday mate while i was in the army i bought a k2 750 from rising sun honda in townsvile it was a peice of c**** . I then set about restoring it to original condition taking about 3 years ., the whole thing was stripped down new rings cylinders honed ,head surfaced ect ect . My brother in law at the time moved to townsville and for a birthday present he sprayed the frame and swing arm for me in 2 pack black . I must have read the cover of the haines workshop manual everywhere i went even out bush training id take it with me . I was lucky when it came time to do the exhaust as they had an original set of four pipes in tact hanging up covered in dust in there workshop and i bought them .When the bike was finnally completed i took it to rising sun and it was such a good looking bike they asked if they could borrow it for a month to put on a rotating display with the latest 750 which would have probably been near the one or maybe the f series your showing ,anyway i painted it in metalic black with a gold stripe as a mate in adelade had a jap import and it looked great so i decided to replicate it .I only had one photo of it and thats gone now somewhere but in its day it was the greatest challenge to the british bike market and maybe its downfall ,the old reapers mc just about all rode them quite impressive to see on the road as a kid .

[@standupmoto]

Fantastic mate thanks for sharing your story, great journey and to find a set of original pipes for a K would be a rare thing. Yes if you had a 750/4 in the early seventies you were it and a bit. cheers from SA.

[@PutadonS.]

Is this bike still interesting? Are the spare parts price reasonable? and so does the maintenance cost?

[@standupmoto]

Hi, yes it’s interesting but in a classic way. There’s a certain feel & sound that you have when riding any of the classic Honda fours that’s hard to explain, truth be known it probably doesn’t do anything better than a modern inline 4 but it’s not about that. See if you can find someone that will let you ride their bike, you’ll understand then & maybe be able to put it into words better than I’m struggling to do. Yes plenty of parts around, some even OEM still kicking around.

[@PutadonS.]
