| The 750 Honda was arguably the first of the new range of superbikes when it was announced in 1969, and even the rival, the earlier announced Triumph Trident, had one less cylinder than the Japanese bike's four. Steadily, the Honda was developed from its initial K guise until in 1978 it was available in K7 form. During that time, what was the incredible performance of the early bike had dissolved, as the power unit was modified to suit pollution regulations. In a bid to resurrect the performance to meet the evergrowing competition, a Super Sport F1 version was announced, which featured sportier looks, if not a lot else. The F2 was an altogether different proposition, however, with a completely revised engine which was hoped to keep customers happy until Honda's sixteen-valve twin-cam range was ready. The F2's engine is a 736CC single-overhead-camshaft four which, with larger inlet and exhaust valves than the F1, produces 6bhp more at 73bhp at 9ooorpm: torque peaks at 461b ft at 75oorp | |
