yah i love the bike it has a k&n filter, 2 up jets, the crome front fender has been replaced with a black plastic one…I’m the 2nd owner…I think i’ll be putting it up on ebay soon…it will do 120 …i don’t like going much more then 100 with it though bc its old school…but it is one of the first bikes with disc brakes (dual up front single out back) DOHC 750!!! plus the F model is pretty rare…the only honda that is really more rare is the cbx both turbo and non-turbo but its a great bike…may need a lil tuning but i haven’t even had it out this year yet due to being super busy that is also why i kind of want to sell it…i’ll get some more picts of it soon…i also have a optional sissy bar from honda for it (pretty rare) but i think it looks like poop so its off…i also have new brake pads for it ---

I originally wanted to get a 750, but there is a “civic” tax on those these days. As far as fitment, you would fit fine on a 500 or 550. Mine is extremely comfortable for me and im 6’3.
