| AT A TIME WHEN SOME SPECIAL-TYPE motorcycles seem little more than clay mock-ups, Honda has given us a genuine working model, capable of being ridden not only to the local hang-out, but to points beyond. Specials, as sometimes put into practice, can air-out their problems on riders within 45 minutes in the saddle. After spending some time on the CB750C, you will come away feeling that Honda's engineering people tried to make working metal out of molded clay, and did. The 750, Honda's biggest street seller, has been with us in one form or another for over 10 years. Honda considers the Custom their standard model: in the 1980 model-year it outsold the F- and K-mod-els combined two-to-one. While each model has its own look, in basic hardware all of Honda's current 750s are very similar. All of them employ the same frame, with slight differences in front-end geometry and rear-shock length and type, and these subtle mechanical variations make the motorcycles different in important ways.
