The bike is a CBR750. Exactly the same as the 1000, but all aluminium engine with gear driven cams and produces around 114bhp.
Nothing apart from the exhaust headers splitting. This was cured by buying a set for a 1000 and having the collars cut off, and new ones turned and welded on to fit the smaller exhaust port holes on the 750.
The alarm has prevented starting a couple of times, not Honda's fault.
I had this bike after a 3 year lay off from riding and it has served me very well. Without doubt a seriously underrated bike that you should look at if you want cheap reliability and comfort.
A great bike that I will not sell, I will keep it as a main bike and use the new one as a toy.
I notice that you had to cut the collars off your 1000 exhaust. I bought a 1988 cbr1000 exhaust and it fitted into the exhaust ports perfectly without any alteration.
Having owned a CBR 750 (I believe that there are only 3 here in Ireland) for the past 3 years, I agree with the comments made in the review, i.e. 120 mile fuel load (and I'm not a maniac), comfort etc, but I’d like to ask other CBR 750 owners if they can help me.
1. As I am now over 50, can anyone tell me if I can get handle bars that let me sit more upright?
2. Is it true that the 88 CBR1000 pipes will fit the ports, because I got a set of 1000 pipes that would have to be cut down, so I did a repair job on the one pipe that was broken.
3. Where can I get a manual for this bike?
4. Where do you put the water in for the cooling system? It's normally done when I get the bike serviced, but I want to know how to do it myself.

I also own one and am happy with the bike.
I live in South Africa, and the cbr750f was brought in as a grey import, meaning that Honda SA did not import.
I am looking for a manual. I think that the model year is between 1987 to 1990; Honda SA can't help me.
The only thing wrong is the right hand indicator lens has cracked, looking from the front of the bike. I want to replace it, but can't find spares in my country.
The bike is still in its original colours is and very neat, and yes, it's underrated. The bike still performs beautiful for a machine that is twenty years old.
Hope I can get some help from my fellow bikers far, faraway.
I own an 1987 CBR750 Hurricane and have had no problem getting parts for it. All the body panels, seat, lights etc are the same as the first CBR1000 (jelly mould model). I have fitted the UK spec clocks from this model, so derestricting it. Also added a UK headlight; glass not plastic! I have just fitted Wavey front discs supplied via Wemoto (on the web). David Silver spares still carry some spares for this bike.
There is a web site run by a CBR750 rider with a downloadable Japanese manual for the bike. There is also lots of tech support from other riders, including a gallery of bikes. The link is http://hurricane.isalive.nl/index.php
I have sourced other parts from eBay.
I love this bike, even after owning a string of CBR 1000's; it has quicker handling due to the 18" rear wheel, but that does limit tyre choice!
Happy riding
