Really ? They must get all the neat stuff before we do. I had an '82 CB650sc and it was still a chain drive bike. Single cam, five speed, cable operated clutch. It did have a dual disc front brake though. The foil trim was tacky... Nice bike otherwise.The last of the single cam 650's, they used CV carbs and overcame the terrible throttle response problems they had with the slide carbs. Every market has it's own variations. I like the Euro version of the 750 and the earlier one too. The big gas tank and dual brakes of the late one makes it a good long-haul bike. Did your market get a version of the six cylinder CBX ? (1024CC here)

I saw a 82 650 for sale and it looked like that one. But the 650 had already the shaft drive. At 16:34 23/01/2009 -0800, Dennis Hammerl wrote: >Look again. It's a twin-cam 750.
