After the iconic Honda single overhead camshaft 750 had taken the motorcycling world by storm, the company probably ran it on for longer than they should. After all, - how do you follow an icon? The answer was a radical re-style, and a double overhead camshaft motor. Introduced in 1979, the new machine, also known as the KZ, featured twin front discs, Comstar wheels, and an extra 10 bhp over the SOHC K model. As with the SOHC CB750K and its sports partner, the CB750F, the CB750KZ's sports equivalent was the CB750FB. This model was the last of its type, as it was not extended into 1983, and whilst the new Nighthawks replaced the K models, the next sports versions were to feature the VF750 motor.

The vendor acquired SPK 7X in October 2023 in need of some attention. He stripped the machine and had the frame powder coated, the top end of the engine was stripped, the valves were replaced and reground, the cylinder head was cleaned and polished, the top end was reassembled with new gaskets. The bottom end was found to be sound, so was left undisturbed. The ignition timing was correctly set and the carbs cleaned and balanced. A new Honda wiring loom was sourced and fitted. The vendor reports that SPK 7X now runs and rides very well. The Honda has been used occasionally since completion, but a new hobby necessitates the need for more space in his garage. Documentation comprises a current V5C.
