Honda CB750F 1982 Test Ride and Specs

[@paulcosgrove6160]

It used to be said that you meet the nicest people on a Honda, and it was true as they make any rider happy. The CB750 was so superior to ALL European & USA bikes and it dominated the market from Day One. Still a lovely bike to ride, almost problem free. I have all the 750 & 900 models as love them, even a couple of CBX 6's, a 250, 350, 400, 500 & 650 4's too. Honda lost the plot a bit after the Blackbird (still the best tourer period!), Fireblade 954 and CB1300 but are back where they belong with current models IMHO. The finish is not as good as it was but still better than most Japanese bikes and all European bikes. Yamaha wear the quality / finish crown now. UK Honda Dealers are not so good in my experience now though. An excellent review, for the first time EVER I disagree with your comment about the tank sorry!😍 That exhaust is not standard but does sound good, the period after-market 4 into 1 to have was Kerker out of interest.

[@Darkvisor]

Thanks for the history lesson and the details about the brands and bikes =) Nothing wrong with the tank, but the tanklid/lid/cover =) I find it a bit ugly =P Thanks for watching Paul

[@Buddycoop1]

@@Darkvisor Generally reliable if taken care of or were there any recalls or owner complaints you heard of? I have a chance to buy one with 20k miles. Looks and sounds good but worried about reliability and if parts are available? Thanks

[@Darkvisor]

@@Buddycoop1 I have never owned the bike in this video but Honda overall is a very reliable brand and their bikes rarely brakes down. can't say much about parts availability but if I were you, I would buy it. it's probably more reliable than most newer bikes hehe Thanks for watching

are you still around paul? I miss your comments =) @paulcosgrove6160

This bike was so stable at highway speeds that I once rode mine a quarter mile at 60mph on I-40 in Tennessee at night while asleep and it stay straight until drifting to the right onto the rumble strip, which woke me up!

That bike sure brings back memories of when I was younger. I used to own a 1981 Honda Nighthawk 750. It is amazing how much more power they can get out of a 750 now. 👍

Yup, I had a 1981 CB750 custom. Fast but nothing like the newer bikes.

[@mumblesbadly7708]

Back in 1980, I bought the 1989 model of this bike and rode it across the country (the US). It was my only vehicle for 2 years before I rode back the country and sold it to by a car. Loved it!

[@Darkvisor]

wow across the US? not bad... and it didn't brake down once? I'm not surprised though, it's a honda.... meant to last =) Thanks for watching buddy

[@mumblesbadly7708]

@@Darkvisor It did give me severe problems twice about 1 year apart (#1 a hole burned through a piston: #2 the crankcase broke open draining all of the engine oil), but they didn’t happen when going cross country.

huh, could have sworn i made a comment on this video when it came out, maybe i'm finally going crazy... either way, love the bike, infinite love for the old classics, still wish they would start making a small line of 80/90 fashioned bikes for people that likes them looks.

[@Darkvisor]

KZbin is known for having bugs with the comment system. I almost daily get comments and when I click on them, there are no where to be found. KZbin removes them or something, must be a bug. This happens on every channel. So you might did a comment but it got lost. Anyways... Thanks for watching and I totally agree 70-80s bike are very nice in my opinion and it's a shame they don't make them like they used to look. =)

I own a 1979 CB750F and a 1983 CB1100F. I've had the 79 about 3 months ridden 3600 mi. I've had 83 about one month ridden 1600mi. They're both a pleasure to ride. The 1100 is a all around better bike.

[@dankuspanku4650]

Hur känns den att köra? Hade den fungerat bra till något lång-åk tror du? Ta den på turer som kan ta dagar att klara av? Sadeln bekväm? Vibrationer under körning? Bombsäker motor som inte blir överhettad lätt? Tack för svar :)

[@Darkvisor]

De är inte min hoj. Jag testa den bara när jag gjorde videon. Äldre hojar brukar ha lite bättre sadlar än dagens ”billiga”. Så skulle tro den funkar fint för längre turer. De är en 2 cylinder så inga problem med vibrationer. Kan inte uttala mig om motorn, men, Honda är ett bra märke som är kända för att göra bra hållbara hojar så skulle inte oroa mig så mycket gällande den biten… Du kommer nog längre utan strul med en sån här än en sprillans ny KTM 😆 Tack för titten

@@Darkvisor KTM own Husgvarna and are indeed the same quality. I have a brilliant 1290 Superduke R as you know, a 950 Super Moto which is genuinely the best EVER from them, far better than the 990 SM injection model that replaced it, and a Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 which is almost as much fun as the KTM 950 SM.
