Geez sometimes Canada is like Europe part duex. YOu guys get better stuff than we do.
lol - That is amusing to read. Up here, many of us think the exact same thing of our neighbours to the south. I suppose it is a matter of perception and limitations.

If I am not mistaken, the U.S. received the 700 cc (696 cc) due to U.S. tariffs imposed in 1983. That may have been fallout from the government bailout of Harley Davidson. Europe and Canada received the 750 cc version.
Like many street Hondas of that era, the CB700/750SC was quite simply stuffed with technology and creature conveniences. The bike was incredibly ultra low maintenance.
