My 1977 Honda CB750A Hondamatic

[@chrisstokley7687]

i luv them ....daily commute

[@thomasshirley7907]

I love my Cb750a it was my first vehicle and I still own it 2 day and ride it I won't get rid of mine it is so fun to ride good starter bike and fun to cruise on when your older I've had mine for 18 years great bike and awesome video

[@davidwarsh6795]

I have a 1977 CB750A with a side car. A lot of fun. You don't have to put your feet down at the light or the stop sign, and you don't have to shift gears, so happy left foot and happy left hand. My wife loves i and so do the grand kids.

[@MavAuto-Pete]

Such a great bike, way ahead of its time with auto on a 1970s motorbike 🏍

[@Buddycoop1]

I have a dual 250 and a 750 Nighthawk. I may buy one of these because I wrecked my hands so shifting is sometimes painful or numb and I can't ride. Plus it'll be something different which is always fun IMO.

[@dawgofwar71]

just damaged the muscles in my left hand. am in the process of finding one of these

[@jamesnickel4748]

Go with a brand new Honda NC750S...real nice, Messed up my clutch hand too, got rid of my Moto Guzzi and just bought one!

[@principleproblem3346]

I just bought the same bike, I recommend you just save up for a while and but another bike, you'll regret selling this one and will be hard to find another.

[@fuwad84]

5 years too late...and you're SO RIGHT!

[@rafaelsoto5512]

@@fuwad84 LOL, I just looking at one in Phoenix. Reading this comment just removed my doubts. thanks

[@ratoneJR]

A giant mini bike that does really cool neutral drops. 10 MPH, shift into neutral, increase RPM's and slam into gear. Trust me... fun as hell.

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

nice video. I always wanted to know how those hondamatics operate.

[@vintagewriting]

Great video. Thanks for the ride!

[@abrahamlaplante4136]

nice work ;) no stupid loud music ahhhhh

[@robertbowman3406]

I looked all over and I wanted the 1977 Hondamatic motor cycle. I did not want to do the 5 speed shifting all the time. I went to Honda and they sold me the parts to install a tachometer on this bike, it does not come with one. I got 55 mpg at 55 mph at 5500 rpm. It has a awesome sound. The only problem I had was the output shaft, chain sprocket, on the engine started to leak oil. It would throw the oil all over the rear end. The only problem was the engine cases had to be split apart to install a new seal. Mine started to blow main fuses. I lost interest in the bike and sold it to a friend of mine who still has it. It blows this main fuse on him now and then.

Nice bike! If you still have it I'd like to hear from you.

[@jibjab351]

I would like this bike.

[@stevencordell6597]

nice bike by the way got 2 love craigslist

[@azloungelizard]

If this bike is still for sale let me know thanks.

[@jibjab351]

I dont think we got this model in the Uk. I have seen the 400A but not the 750A, the only other auto I have seen is Moto Guzzi V1000 Convert.

[@halversonnoel0]

i own a hondamatic cb750a also and was wondering if you ever actually got it past 90 i want to take my as fast as it will go but it doesn't want to let me for some reason, i actually broke my throttle cable trying to hit 100.

[@thomasshirley7907]

noel halverson mine would only top end at around 110-112 tops

[@jamesfrench7299]

Thanks for deciding to go through with the ride. Fascinating sound on take off from a standstill. How do you select low and drive??

[@jibjab351]

What is that light in what would be the rev counter guage?.It would bug the hell out of me.

[@RetroWorkShop773]

It's the gear position indicator (neutral, low, drive)

[@citizenseventies6738]

There are 3 gear separate gear position warning lights - From left to right, Neutral (Green) Low (Blue) and High (also Blue)

[@fairyheli2]

how short is short? I'm 5'11 and weigh 10 stone, would I be big enough to ride something like this?

[@rsnip9888]

lol I thought I was the only person who says "Whoopsie-doodle"

[@Brad_Jenkins]

I just found one of these in the back yard

[@25531]

Nice video,Do you shift from low to high just like a normal bike? (minus the clutch of course).

[@Arnoud115]

Turn signals, use them! ;)

[@fuwad84]

I don't need those, I own a BMW.

[@RetroWorkShop773]

You can have a camera in the left hand, OR you can have turn signals. Pick one for your youtube viewing pleasure.

[@NaztyNapkinz]

How fast can that go? Could it be used on highway?

[@Chantwizzle]

Johnny G top speed is usually 100 mph so you'd be ok on most highways.

[@MikmaqWarrior]

My kinda bike

[@kodypagel9167]

so is early version of dct or is it cvt

[@daveZ4143]

it's neither, and no clutch mechanism at all. it just uses a torque converter as a maintenance free fluid coupling (pressurized engine oil). you still have to manually shift the gears. it's NOT an automatic transmission.

[@AVportau]

failed to stop at the stop sign at 7:30 eh?... no more blipping the throttle for rev heads i guess... seems the bike is useless for engine braking into corners and that's a big part of riding. no wonder autos on motorbikes failed so miserably... also what's the economy like vs a manual?

[@impulsivedesigns]

This thing is a commuter bike for fat dumb Americans with no coordination or business being on a bike in the first place. But for the rest of us fat dumb Americans who have coordination and actually ride good bikes, this thing is still the greatest loafer to bum around on. This bike is all about smoooth laziness... Fuel mileage is gonna be worse than a full manual bike unless you get into to CVT bikes. I wanna see if I can wheelie it though.

[@0danny]

Nice! I sent you an email. hope to hear from you soon!

[@werblesnerf]

is this bike good for really short people?

[@thomasshirley7907]

werblesnerf I own 1 and I'm 5 eleven my feet barely touch the ground

[@henryfuentes3425]

Just get a cb 750 k :p

[@stevencordell6597]

my dog wouldnt like that bike either lol

[@jghkxgjvv7072]

shifting isnt really a big deal when your a big boy that can ride a real motorcycle.

[@fuwad84]

*you're, but I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure they'll have plenty of gear shifting questions on your GED exam.

[@michaelledford4751]

jghk xgjvv WTF kinda response is that ,especially if you've never ridden a Honda matic, I ride expressways so I don't have to shift and I ride a 1938 EL Knucklehead with a jockey shift and rocker foot clutch so I know how to shift every motorcycle ever made ,these bikes were made for comfort hence the automatic transmission ,the low range shift position only needs to be used if you plan on fast take offs ,for normal riding you never need to take it out of high range and it's a hell of a lot of fun to ride ,I have 11 vintage Harleys and 5 modern bikes as well as a vintage 1978 KZ 750 & I love them all ,if I could find a mint 395 Honda matic I'd buy it .

[@seymorekuntz9152]

douchebag response. (and illiterate too)

[@michaelledford4751]

Seymore Kuntz being English is my 3rd language we can speak in my native Farsi or Arabic and see how well you do ,and exactly how is my response a douche response ,when was the last time you've rode a bike with a rocker clutch ,I own 2 with rockers ,shifting doesn't make riders cooler

[@michaelledford4751]

Seymore Kuntz I just realized you have a degree in liberal arts ,how's that degree working out for ya in the real world ? Not too many employers needing an English literature major in their work force lmfao ,I take my coffee black

[@guglielmodicarlo4139]

what the hell are you talking about??? rambling,, and not making any sense
