Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 1997, 1998
In 1998, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the CB750F2 Seven Fifty, a naked machine with an unfaired chassis that offered few surprises, such as a steel tube cradle frame that joined together a dual shock absorber system on the rear to a conventional telescopic fork on the front, which was based on the CBR600's units.
The Honda Seven Fifty motorcycle was developed from its initial K guise until 1978 and was available in K7 form, but the bike's performance was lowered when the powerplant was modified to suit pollution regulations.
Also, to meet the evergrowing competition, Honda announced a Super Sport F1 version that featured a sportier look, while the F2 model was a different story, with a completely revised engine that hoped to stick to the customers until Honda's sixteen-valve twin-cam range was ready to enter the market.
The 1998 machine came with standard features, such as a dual seat with a passenger grab handle, lightweight cast aluminum wheels, a round headlight with a chromed ring, a wide handlebar, a chromed dual exhaust system, an analog instrument cluster, and a side stand.
In the power department, the 1998 Honda CB750F2 Seven Fifty took its muscles from a 747cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 73 hp with maximum strength at 8,500 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,500 rpm.
As for braking performance, the bike packed two 296 mm discs managed by a couple of dual-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 240 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
