Good evening Lady and Gentlemen,
I've been offered first dibs from a collection of a 750F3 in black. I've been on ride outs with the owner on it (him riding not me) and I think it's a solid bike, definitely a rider not a show'er. A price hasn't been discussed yet as it's not an imminent prospect.

Do any owners past and present have any for or against comments.

I actually prefer the earlier bikes (and those cornstars! Urgh!) but might consider ownership if it was worth it.

Thanks in advance, Peter

Major drawback....PD Carbs, don't know if Honda sorted the valve/guide problems for the F3, or whether the motor had the same issues as the F2, just that the yanks liked a "New" bike each year.

Trigger:
As Hairy says, the valves do like to drop and the tank was waffar thin metal.

Bryanj:
If it don't smoke and does more than 350 miles per pint of oil the guides have been done or it is so low a mileage they havent worn out yet. PD carbs need regular use(more than once a week)

royhall:
The F3 was USA only and was just a cosmetic update of the F2. I gave up on the PD carbs on my F2 and sent them off to a carb man that knows what he's doing. Matt Harper at Harpers Ultrasonic who does carbs for all the classic racing boys and girls. Since that it's run great and not a moments problem.
