Looking through our archives I found one of these beauties posted by Tad in 2018. “Although the term “sportbike” evokes images of sleek, fully-faired two-wheeled plastic darts, the term has been steadily evolving and originally would have been used to describe bikes like this Honda CB750F Super Sport. Strangely practical-looking for a sportbike, the CB750F was the logical evolution of Honda’s revolutionary, but long-in-the-tooth CB750. That bike set the motorcycling world on its ear in 1969, but ten years is a long time, and the bike was in serious need of an update.
Introduced in 1979, the CB750F took the earlier machine and moved the game on a bit: SOHC became DOHC, and two valves per cylinder became four. It was still air-cooled, but the changes led to a claimed 72hp from the 748cc engine. Bore and stroke were perfectly square: 62mm x 62mm. Why not more oversquare per typical, high-revving motorcycle convention? Well Honda felt that the narrower bore meant a narrower, more aerodynamic engine and less surface area meant better combustion. It wasn’t particularly light, although the 503lb dry weight was pretty standard for the period, as were the 19″ front 18″ rear wheels, now cast instead of spoked.
The bike was updated slightly for the 1980 model year seen here with improved rear Showa shocks, a reinforced swingarm, a frame revised to increase rigidity, and heavier, but stronger wheels that replaced the 1979’s Comstar hoops. Overall, weight was increased, but so was handling. The package might seem underwhelming for riders used to modern hardware, but period reviews were very positive, praising the bike’s agility, stability, and the powerful engine.”
That bike was listed for $5,800 in pristine condition, in 2018. How much has changed in 6 years?
Wheels were not cast but fabricated from stamped sheetmetal “spokes” riveted to an extruded, rolled and welded rim and bolted to a cast aluminum hub.
The styling for these SS has aged very well.
The rims are called “Comcast’ wheels
