Honda heritage
The 1977 Honda CB750 was part of the famed CB series, which was known for its innovative technology at the time. The original CB750, introduced in 1969, was the world’s first production superbike, featuring an inline-four engine with overhead camshafts, disc brakes, electric start, and other cutting-edge features. By 1977, the model had evolved and improved upon this groundbreaking design.
Classic style
The 1977 CB750F sported that awesome 1970s sportbike look with its unique fuel tank shape, eye-catching bright colors, and sharp, angular lines. The maroon and red gets me every time. It’s like a time machine back to what many consider the golden era of motorcycle design. It’s all about that cool, retro vibe that takes you right back to when Hotel California was not yet over-played.

It is great to find things on ebay and see how the auction goes – but there is something cool about finding a gem on Craigslist. If you are in the area, you can call and stop in to see the bike. Come with your research done and your max price in mind, then let the conversation begin.
From the photos, it does look to be in great condition. That deep maroon gas tank with the red stripe and the golden pin stripes…. as a designer I can’t stop looking at it. It just oozes cool in my book.
Seller is asking $7,500, it has only 3,700 miles and seems to be in good form.
Aaron reported on a pristine ’79 CB750 here on RSBFS in 2019 and it sold at auction for $15,500. That specimen had 8,408 miles. This past year a ’77 sold for $5,000 on Hemmings with over 21,000 miles. This clearly shows how valuable low miles are to buyers.
Rider Magazine did a Retrospective on this line and it states that the “It probably was the best-handling of the Japanese 750-plus fours of the time. And got better. In ’77 the F got Comstar wheels, and a restyled exhaust, with the collector better tucked away, and the muffler now a megaphone look-alike.”
If you have ridden one of these – or have some technical knowledge to share, please comment!
Good luck to the person in the Chicago area that loves this style as much as I do.

I always liked these Super Sports, IMHO the last and best of the SOHC 750’s.
I owned a ‘78 750k. It was a blast. Very dependable. Again, very dependable. Great machine
