It's an Oct 85 750F. Well it's an F according to the frame number, rear mudguard and fairing bracket. It has the longer swingarm and an 1100 tank. It's quite a mismash of all the models yet I've seen 3 identical. I've just put 1100 slingshot wheels and a WP front end on it. I have everything to put it back to standard including exhaust. I've got a full set of bodywork which I'm thinking of spraying in the red & black yoshimura 750G colours.  |

That one cost me £465 7 yrs ago next month. It was minus it's fairing. A mate oop north has about 7 1100's lol. What I love is it's 2 stroke type power delivery, that and the way it draws attention.

I used to ride a slabby 750 in Hong Kong. Fantastic bikes and that looks lovely.

Had a Blue and White J owned it for 20 years, the riding position killed my wrists in the end, sold her to get the power valve

Managed to find a picture of it. www.flickr.com/gp/159274186@N05/Xixa07The Honda next to it was mine also, CB900 with a CB1100R engine fitted bored out to 1123, gas flowed and re-profiled cams, went like stink for an old girl. Tony |

Thanks boys. The paint, apart from the upper cowling is original. Its a sweet bike. I think it looks better in the flesh. The upper fairing was damaged in transit from the states to australia so thats why its not original. .  |

I had the version that came after this slab sided version, certainly cracking bikes. |

The F ones didn't curve back in towards the front wheel at the bottom. |

I've got an early slabby, and keep thinking about selling it just to free up some space, then Kenny posts a few pics and I can't make that decision. It's not as nice a that, but I'm certain it's got to be a future classic, first of it's kind etc etc an iconic bike, first of the race reps.

I had a blue and white 1100h, had it when I met my wife, one of those bikes I wish I’d kept.
When I turned up to take her out on our first date, she had her hair all done all done up, I turned up with an old spare lid, don’t think she realized I didn’t own a car.

I had an '88 GSX-R1100 slab sider, bought it for £1200 in about 2001, rode it, hated the handling even on 17" wheels, swapped it for a ZZR600 within 24 hours. Stuck some Bridgestone BT56ss tyres on it and scraped the hell out of it up in the Pyrenees round Biarritz for a week. It was a cracking little bike.

I do occasionally get thoughts of selling it and buy something modern (well between 1998 and 2004). But then I enjoy the attention it gets when I'm on it.
