Tamiya Honda CB750F Kit - CF406 #14006  [14006]

Honda, obviously, held the top place in product sales for quite some time, then again Kawasaki released their "Z" series DOHC 4 cylinder 750 bikes, and took over the number one place, relegating Honda to 2nd destination. Honda, however, failed to take this set back for long, and continued to enhance their engines, and in 1979 circulated a CB750K DOHC with four valves per cylinder, a strong 68hp, and brand new human body styling. It had been soon before Honda ended up being once again number one! The CB750F, released in June 1979 had been styled after the remarkably popular European Honda CB900F which had been copied from their race RCB bike. This styling had been a new comer to stock motorcycles in the world. Because of the low positioned handlebars and back positioned foot rests, permitted a "slouched" riding place. The design is setting the conventional for the eighties.

The CB750F is powered by a 4 cylinder DOHC 748cc motor with 4 valves per cylinder, while the 1981 variation creates 70 braking system horsepower. The bike has a double cradle frame of welded metal tubing, semi-air front side suspension system system, and FQV damped rear coils. Braking uses the twin piston caliper system, with dual discs ahead and just one disc at the rear. A newly designed racing kind front fender with spoiler has proved to be popular among the bike enthusiasts. The overall styling of this revealed in 1979, using the smooth moving lines from tank to tail light were retained, and it's also most likely this fine bike will stay at the forefront of product sales for decades in the future.
