Yes, 1977 F2. ‘Super Sport’ of course...the fastest model.
At rolling chassis stage now, but just need to make few strategic decisions on the motor, which is in great mechanical nick judging by the head internals, but the cases are dog rough cosmetically. Also a few fine tuning adjustments for the twin disc conversion.
Outstanding items include grab rail, seat, rear and front mudguards.....you know, the cheap stuff :'( :'( :'(

Because we were lied to >:(
Sesman:
But we are always lied to.....that’s politics and we get what we deserve. Any government that can rob us of our pension sp2 benefits in broad daylight and not receive a single protest is never going to face much of a challenge when the mob votes.
Where’s my diazepam.....

Not according to world's best Motormagazine (at that time): das Motorrad. The Germans were outright disappointed. See p.8, third column of the article below, where the F2 was compared to the European CB500K2 (that '4' means Four). The CB550F and the CB550F1 were the fastests and then... the CB500. I still have to find out what actually was changed and if Honda had been forced to it. It must have to do with new laws in the US, as the CB550F2 was marketed there in the same time the K3 was.

Paaa, journalists. Mines the fastest.... :D
