HONDA CB750 (1992 - 2001) Review

Year: 1999

Annual servicing cost: £400

Great overall bike able to do most of what you need with reliability and comfort. Only lacks a bit of power. Love those Original collector pipes shining at the front!

Buying experience: Bought it from the first owner who took great care of it. Was not the lowest mileage I saw, but was the best cared for.

Year: 2000

Annual servicing cost: £200

I had very little experience riding in my teens and 2 days riding a Rebel 300 for class. My 2000 was the 1st bike I took a test ride on when I started looking. I absolutely knew it was the one. It has plenty of power especially in the mid range. And yet it's forgiving enough to allow me to grow into. It's a great balance of sporty looking mixed with a classic vibe. I've taken it up to about 105mph but I wouldn't recommend it. You'll be holding on for dear life without a windshield! Possibly even with. Although very nimble and responsive, it's a bit heavy at very slow speeds. New tires yet the back wheel tends to spin easily at higher rpms from the start. Overall braking is OK but I have nothing to compare to. I've had mine for 2 months now and ride about 3x per week. Have only changed the spark plugs and battery. Runs purrrrfectly. Especially when it has warmed up. I'm a little disappointed that there's not a lot of customization available without going over what's reasonable for a $2000 bike unless you go the cafe racer route which I'm not. But I don't think it was made to be flashy. It's A++ in the realm of average bikes.

Buying experience: I purchased from a private owner for $2000 in 2021. The owner wouldn't budge on his asking price and I didn't hold it against him lol. I could have re-sold for $2500 easily.

Twin pipes, big 750 engine with fins, carbs - with choke, analogue instruments .... classic old skool bike.Superb build quality and minimal maintenance ... oil ! Super reliable.Mine has 60k km ... 20k with me. Used daily including in winter. Kept under an Oxford cover and occassional spray over with WD40. Thats it !But think tractor ... nothing like modern nakeds and slow for a 750. ... but so coooool !

Buying experience: Bought for £1000 ... unfortunately prices are creeping up.

Easy to look after and maintain yourself. A service once a year will do. Purchased in France and brought over so the only issue is that the speedometer is in KM. The wife and I go out on it all the time and does have plenty of room for both. Quick enough however because of age not the smoothest of gear changes. For a day to day or a Sunday ride I find it a great bike. The front suspension is a little soft.

Version: 2002 Honda Nighthawk USA

When I first bought my 20 year old CB750 with over 62,000 miles on the clock I wondered if I'd made a horrible mistake. It was horrifically dented, scratched and bone dry of oil but after some TLC it runs like a dreams and makes my commute one of the best parts of my day.

Engine is OK, but the bike is on the hefty side. Biggest issue I'm finding is when I'm banking over in bends, at a certain angle of lean it suddenly drops (like a stone) and the rear wheel steps out. Not sure if this is normal for the bike or the rear suspension needs attention/replacing. The tyre however looks fine. Is this just a terrible handling bike? My old 1938 Speedtwin went round bends better (with no rear suspension)!! I'm not even going to compare the handling with other bikes I've owned it's not in the same universe even though the previous bikes were older by a number of years (and 2 of them were Honda's). Engine seem's bullet proof though. Now if I could just squeeze it into a 3 1/2 Sport's frame ;-)

I do not have the F2, but it's U.S.A. counterpart, the 750 Nighthawk. First of all this bike has a cult following in the States and features as one of the best ten motorcycles ever built. I've owned mine for ten years and it has never let me down. It has done 23,000 miles and I have ridden it all over America but mostly from C.A. to Florida & back. I now ride it in England. I agree that the handling could be better and there could be more extras for the bike but otherwise it is perfect! Mine is a '95 and there are modifications that can be made to it. There sites on the computer that will tell what they are. In spite of the U.S. model only having one front disc and a drum rear does not detract from there appeal. I do not see many nice examples of the F2 over here, I wish there were more about. I have managed to find a rear grab rail,a fairing, and crash bars for mine, and am trying to find a set of panniers. To sum up! buy one if you want reliability and easy maintenance.

I've owned my CB750 F2 for around 2 months now and I can safely say it's one of the best bikes I've had. Comfy and reliable and that's after it's racked up 49000miles on the clock. It's a great bike for plodding along and when you get bored twist that grip. The only thing that limit's you really is the ground clearance and now and again the soft suspension, easy fixed with a spacer on the front forks and an oil change. Well that's my rewiew and the bike has a slipping clutch at the moment since I got it!
