Hey, Grizzly,
All this motorcycle talk reminds me.... I have owned 5 Honda 750 automatics. I heard a rumor that they have some left over from 1978. Any truth to that? Happy New Year!

Brownie - that's interesting. Pretty neat bikes really. I rode one for a while when I was in that end of things. Grizz and I are meeting some others in the morning, one of whom is our logistics manager and a bike enthusiast, as well as Donzi.He would know or can find out. Seems unlikely though. Are you listening Bill?
I'll get back to you on this.

We will look into it. The auto was neat, used some of the same parts as in the 1978 accord trans. The engine was the first and only 750 to use a HY-VO drive caign. Some of us racers used it in the race engines to keep from breaking the stock roller gaign on our road racers. the cluch hub outter on the MT was the same size as the disk hub on the AT so the swap was realitive easy.

I we have some they are not in the warehouses. There is probably one in the museum stock and I'll bet a couple of dealers are sitting on some but I haven't counted one in an inventory in the last 15 years.
