This followed me home this weekend ...

1982 CB750F Super Sport
An unrestored survivor.
Been routinely ridden for the last 17 years

The SS line was Honda's response to Kawasaki's KZ line.
Limited production numbers
Uprated HP (a whopping 74)
Everything works and is unmolested except for the handle bars.

I don't recall these things being so small and compact.

Nice find... any plans for it?

No plans to refurb or restore.
Don't want to disturb that "original" look of 35 years of use.
Once I start down that road, its an expensive and never ending task.

It will probably wind up in Seattle.
My oldest daughter has opened a motorcycle themed coffee bar and bistro called the Twisted Wick.
This vintage metric bike fits in well with her "crowd".

That bike has a pretty cool look to it. Nice find!
