And the just for grins I jumped in the 1980 CB750F that I picked up for $750.
It’s amazing how natural and intuitive the vintage Honda’s are, instant feeling of having ridden it for years. Anyway, back to the 914’s the ‘73 is still very satisfying to drive but it feels much more delicate and classic. The 74 feels like it could easily be a product of the 80s or 90s. The whole take away from this is that you can pretty much build one of these into whatever driving experience you’re looking to have, much more so than pretty much any other car I’ve owned. I didn’t fully appreciate that when I dove into owning these but man it’s kind of addictive to be able to design the driving experience and then just make it happen. |

Did I miss something? What's the issue? What's your question?

I wonder how much those updated race seats add to the more modern feel. The 1.7L are certainly fun, I owned a '71 1.7L (back in the mid-'90s), it was kinda slow I guess, but I never really noticed that much. I used to get off work at about 1am and looked forward to the drive home every night because of how the car would stick like glue, hauling butt through the two sets of cloverleafs on the way home. |

Right on. Perhaps the stock 1.7 has greater value. KISS. |
