Hi It is nice!
CBR750F is rare motorcucle. I guess Honda made less than 4000 units.
In Japan, there are four body color patterns. 87 black, 87 tri color, 88 black and 88 silver/blue.
In the first year alone more than 8700 were built, and they built it for four years...
Oh really. But Japanese parts list said
frame #
1987 (H) 1000004 - 1002291
1988 (J) 1005002 - no description
So 2288 units of 1987(H) were produced. The parts list does not have a description for end frame # of 1988(J)'s.
But I guess number of 88(J) is much fewer than 87(H). That is just my feeling.
In Japan, Honda made a decision to discontinue CBR750 in 88. Because Japanese government relaxed the
motorcycle regulation in 1988. They allowed four Japanese motorcycle makers to sell over 750cc
motorcycle in Japan. And Honda has a strong competitor,VFR750F.There will be no room for CBR750.
If Honda produced 8700 CBR750, there should be another version of parts list.Specially English version.
Don't you think so?
By the way, I also found strange description at AFAM.
They said 89 CBR750F has five holes driven sprocket. But 1988 is the last year of CBR750 in Japan.
All CBR750 for Japan has four holes driven sprocket.
Have you ever seen CBR750F with five holes driven sprocket?
So maybe one of keypoint is frame # of David McDonnough's CBR750F.
If his frame # does not match with above Japanese parts list description, there are another CBR750F which is not covered by Japanese parts list.
And Honda did not make a parts list for CBR750F?! Or English parts list exists but all of us didn't know it?!
