CB750 K7 question

<< < (2/3) > >>

hairygit:
I seem to recall that the K3/K4/K5 were NOT sold in the U.K., we kept the K2 until the K6 was launched ;D

Waggles:
Come to that was the K7 ever sold in the UK? I seem to recall when I went to my local Honda dealer in 1976 to get a 750 the only choice I had was which colour F1 I wanted, I recall the F1 giving way to the F2 but don't seem to recall any F7s. So did it go K6, F1, F2 only in UK?

hairygit:
No, the K7 was sold in the U.K.  Honda launched the F1, but customers still wanted the option of a four pipe tourer, hence the K6. The K7 was launched alongside the F2, the F2 with the black engine, and slightly more powerful than the F1, and broke a lot quicker :'( The K7 had the F1 engine, but with F2 type carbs with accelerator pumps, and exhausts that were unique to the K7 :o

Waggles:
You learn something new every day! I thought the K7 had the F2 motor too, guess I was misled by the carbs. Not seen many around then or now so I guess the F2 was more popular due to the higher power?

hairygit:
Probably more to do with the big discounts Honda were offering on unsold K6 models ;D Plus some people found the 17 inch rear wheel on the K7 seriously limited tyre choice at the time :o
