well got the barrel back for the a10 needed some space to put it back together so shuffled some bikes around repairing some kitchen doors so the honda cb750f is outside,so i decided to get it running the last time it was running was aug 2014 and that did not end well for me,as soon as the petrol got through it burst into life but was not happy with 3 of the 4 carbs flooding , carb rebuild kits came today never had a bank of carbs of one of these but from the outside look the same as the superdream engine still as sweet as the last time i rode the bike.still do not know what road i will go with the bike put it back to what it was or fit modern suspension 17inch wheels and a freddie spencer paint job as the bike owes me note   |

Nice Bike! I had the KZ version with that engine years back. Loved the bike, but I found it's weight made it tricky to get on the centre stand and I was 30 years younger then, don't think I could manage it now!  |

Actually they are hell of alot cheaper to restore than a super dream.engines are bullet proof just the cam chain to check parts are plentiful so cheap they are big and have a high center of gravity my 600 bandit feels like a 125 when moving it about but on the move they are a nice ride brakes are s**t but still think they were at the front of the queue on looks and it's just my opinion made the super dream so popular

If they made the superdream head with the same tec as the 750 900 twin cam 4 valve head I wonder if it would be rememberd differently I am sure I have seen a pic of a 3 valve honda twin with a twin cam suzuki head.if I get very bored I might just try it
