I've owned one Honda, it was '64 250 Scrambler and I rode it until '69 when I purchased a T350 Suzuki, I also had a '67 Maico dirt bike.

This was my least favorite bike; a 1980 Honda CB750F Supersport.



It was Fast, good looking and handled well. However, it had an "I'm going to explode any moment" vibration that would translate into an electric buzz in the bars and pegs that would put your hands & feet to sleep. The steering geometry was such that you couldn't keep it in a straight line. It was so nervous & twitchy any movement on the bars, no matter how slight, caused you to dart to a different line. At highway speeds it had a lean surge that was particularly annoying. I had no end of electrical problems, mostly loose connections caused by the vibration.

I grew to genuinely hate that bike.
