Hey, everybody.
Besides the high and low transmission, what is the difference between a cb750 and cb750 hondamatic?

Hondamatic
- Thread starter brettp
- Start date
Almost everything is different. Connecting rods, rocker arms, engine main and rod bearings, cylinder, valve cover and couple other small things thats about it. They are similar and some parts do swap. The auto is also not a dry sump.
Thanks, dirtdigger. There is one for sale near me but I wasn't sure if I would happy with it. Is the performance lower/less/worse?
Less power, the torque converter takes a lot of power just like a car. The engine was built to make more lower end power. They are slower than the standard bike. Many drag racers use them though because they are dead on consistant. You can do many of the same performance upgrades to these as you can with the standard bike. Parts for the transmissions are getting hard to find. I would buy one if I had the opportunity
If that is the case, why would you get one? Seems like they are less desirable.
Because they are rare and I want to add one to my collection. Like said they are desirable, people use them for bracket racing and they are simple to ride, no clutch or shifting gears.
well they didnt make a 750 honadamatic in 80. 76,77,78 only. They did make a 400 hondamatic for a few years though.
Yeah, the engine has the look of pre-79.
76,77,78 only for the 750 hondamatic
