Three great looking bikes, but I'd take the 750.  |

its a tuff one. both are very nice to ride, the 650 feels more sporty and quicker. but the then the 750 is dads so i dont really ride it the same way :P
But its funny coz my dad actually prefers my 650

its funny when i was riding the XL around town, everyone would look (mostly old people) and they were pointing and nodding and had a few comments like, "man i havent seen one of those for years, i used to have one on the farm" etc, but now with the 650 everyone looks, just to see what the hell it is, the CBX650 is a rare bike here in Australia and speaking to one old guy who LOVES his honda bikes, he has never heard of the CBX, the CB650 yes but not the CBX650.

The 750 is a 1970 model (K0 I'm pretty sure)

I'm not too familiar with CB models beyond the Nighthawk stable. What distinguishes the CBX650 from a CB650?

From everything I have read (very little not much info on the cbx) but I did speak to a guy who seemed to know.
The cbx was sold in Germany only. But some dealers would personally import them. But the cbx has a bigger tank and more hp out of the engine and that's it.
