Lovely looking bike, do you know its history and did you buy it trade or private?
I think Honda nailed it with the looks and performance of the F2 and especially considering they were lagging behind Kawasaki and Suzuki withe their DOHC's.
Good luck with it, I'm sure it goes as good as it looks.

Yes, it can be a pain. Our 750/4s come up at a Honda Shadow VT or something like that. We have 750's insured with Carol Nash, Swinton and Hastings Direct but you need to phone them and they adjust it on their system.

Post by: Bryanj on July 26, 2020, 07:36:40 PM: Yup, insist forcibly its a 736 SINGLE overhead cam four not a double cam or a twin.
Late F2 and early CB 750 DOHC cross over

I'm pleased you got it sorted Bob. I always phone insurance companies (after getting an on line quote or renewal notices), I find the premiums go down dramatically when you can actually discuss what you really want and need and not just agree to what the computer tells you you want and need 😁😁😁😁
