What exactly do I have?
Frame No. CB750G - 1005503
Engine No. B750GE - 1004749
The only ref I can find that coincides with these numbers is the CSMNL site that quotes it as a CB750 F2 Supersport (England) but everywhere else I look quotes the F2 as frame number from 210001 and engine number from 2600004.
Is there such a model as an F3.
The bike is a 'T' registration which ran from 1st Aug 78 to 31st July 79 and was first registered on 18th June 79. The tax disc on the bike ran out on 30th Sept 81 so it appears to have been on the road for only about 2 years. It's only got 16000 on the clock.
Any ideas?

UK Pete:
yes you have a uk F2,
 Is the bike a runner ?

archmill:
Not a runner Pete. Scared to try and start it without a bit of investigation.
The guy I got it off said the last time he was on it, his left boot was covered in oil so he stuck it in a van, took it home and bought another bike (the VF500). Seems a bit drastic to me, like buying a new car cos the ash tray's full. LOL. Engine turns over with the kickstart though. Am just finishing off restoring my '95 ZZR600 then I'll start the CB750 restoration.
The bike's got a bit of bling on it, ribbed alloy clutch and alternator covers, a clear plastic points cover, a seeley silencer and finned rocker caps so someone loved it at some point. It's also had a rear end shunt in its short life. The rear number plate bracket is bent and the plastic rear mudguard is missing but apart from that, looks to be original.
Anyone got a rear plastic mudguard? Got a brand new rear number plate bracket off fleabay for a tenner.
Think its worth trying to fire it up?

Bryanj:
I would put money on the exhaust valve guides being worn out and the oil leak on left boot probably gearchange seal

UK Pete:
Can you load us up some pictures Archie
