The 1980 'A' version of the DOHC CB750F brought small chassis updates over the 1979 bike, including needle-bearing swingarm pivots, more adjustable rear shocks and revised gearing. Period tests rated its quick, confident handling as a match for European sports bikes such as the Ducati 900SS at racetrack pace.
