RC42
hi all
does anyone know the difference between my bike and a standard 90's cb750, some parts like chain & sprockets are listed with some suppliers specifically for rc42, other suppliers dont seem to list my bike serial number at all. My serial number on the headstock starts with RC42. Any ideas people ?

Your vin tag should say what model your bike is exactly. From quick googles, it seems like rc42 is just a secondary designation. I will see if I dig up anything else.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

RC42 is the UK designation for the CB750. In the USA it is called The Nighthawk. Visually the Nighthawk is styled like a cruiser, for the American market. The RC42 is more of a street fighter looking bike.
