pros and cons of honda cb 750K/C/F?

bagoony
Hey guys, pretty new to the motorcycle scene. I recently bought an '82 CB750F. From what I THINK I know... K's are all purpose models, C's are custom built so they have more torque, and F is the sporster? (somebody elaborate please!) Since I am an F owner, I was wondering what the benefits and downfalls of having an F compared to the other models. Thanks for reading. Happy riding!

I hate to tell you this, but they all have the exact same engine, and the only differences between the models is cosmetic. Also the "C" model was not "custom build" it was only a model designation for the cruiser style bike.

This post was updated on .
The K and the C are factory rated at 72hp. The F is rated at 75. I don't know if it's a difference in the exhaust or the cam. I never researched it. All three have the same 9.0:1 compression ratio.

The K and C are also listed at 516lbs vs the F's 507.

K & F used 18/46 sprockets.
C had 18/43.
