I got a Honda 1974 750k, I set it up for cafe style. I love it. It's Big and mean and takes right off. A little heavy but oh well.
Makes me Proud to see this clip.

Nice bike. Unfortunately, bikes have gotten bigger and bigger....too big really. Cost, fuel consumption, weight, insurance all go up as well. The Honda 350 was also a great bike. I love my 250 cc bikes and wouldn't own anything over 350. Unfortunately Honda only makes 1 road bike at 250...the Rebel. The entire industry has failed to recognize the popularity of 250 through 350-size bikes, so they are stuck with sluggish sales of their hogs. No thanks.

You guys think a 77honda750F could take any new superbikes (like zzr600,r6,gsxr600, even the 500s)

No, but the current supersports are essentially a further development of the original CB750 formula, albeit with more of a track focus. Dick Mann won at Daytona with a CB750 DESPITE the fact it wasn't intended as a racing bike. A 750F could outaccelerate a new EX500, and with modern tires give it a run on a track, but an EX500 isn't exactly a superbike.

My dad always had a honda in the driveway when i was a kid. His favorite was the 350 because evrything else was too powerful. I just bought a 2003 cb750 today and now i know what he meant. This bike is alot of bike!

Kawasaki had virtually NO BUDGET when they tested and raced the Z1, unlike Honda. But, in spite of this, along with a very flimsy chassis, brakes, and tires of the era...the massive power delivered by the KZs, and the skills of the riders overcame all of that. Just a cool underdog story.

I love, I mean LOVE the old Hondas, but Kawasakis are a little different. They are like the old Mopars, giant, abusurdly powerful engine, lots of edge to them, very obnoxious.

Kawasakis have lots of soul.
