 My 79 750K. I've had it for 3 years now. Just turned over 20K miles today. Only thing not stock is the seat cover and exhaust. Put new tires on it when I purchases it. Wish it wasn't so $$$$$ for some new stock pipes.

Beautiful bike.If I ever get a DOHC I only want one that color. I think it is just perfect on those bikes

Thanks! It is a very clean bike. I'm a little bias with the color too. . I had a 78 750F just about the same color.

Really nice. I've got the same bike. Mine doesn't look as good though. It's only got 16K miles on it but I guess it had a hard life.

We took our '79 on a 160-mile ride yesterday, two up. The bike ran flawlessly, in spite of 40 MPH cross-winds. At 33 years of age, time alone takes its toll on them. The fact that they still run, and run perfectly (assuming good maintenance), is quite a testimony of the quality Honda built into these bikes. If I had known that 1979 was the first year of the DOHC, I likely would have passed on my bike -- and that would have been a crying shame. We rode our's around Lake Superior, in 2009, two up. Those memories warm my cockles to this day, during our off seasons. Enjoy your ride. It is one of the very finest motorcycles ever made. And it happens to be one of the nicest examples of the classic, tear-drop design, ever made. The '79 is a 'classic' in so many ways... Cheers!

I am SOOO glad someone else brought up the whole cockles thing. I really wanted to ask but didnt want to broadcast my ignorance  I just thought Sarge was going NSFW on us

LOL!... It's an old saying, from my now-distant youth, when something makes you smile, and warms your heart, we used to say, "it really warms our cockles." Sorry if I threw you into a tail-spin -- I guess it is a Tiny-sota cultural thing.  Shiny, your comments really made my day. Cheers, Mate!

Beautiful bike, really like the wire wheels. My dad has a UK spec one with alloy wheels in the same colour. He has had it from new and done 4000 miles. I have posted pics on here if you want to take a look ;-)

Roommate was outside with me last night while I cleaned the inside of the sprocket cover. She said "Nobody's going to see that you know...."
She just doesn't understand.
Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?
