Announced on 12 December 1983, the CBX750F wore twin headlights in a half fairing, like an endurance racer, over a 16-inch front and 18-inch rear Comstar wheel. It brought a back-torque limiter, an automatic cam-chain tensioner, hydraulic tappets and a hydraulic clutch — Honda aimed for a maintenance-free four. HRC sold race kit parts for it.

In Europe it ran from 1984 to 1988 and cost about £2,800 new. Its engine lived on in the CB750 (RC42) until 2008.
