sorry gyes didn't know it wasn't stock

[Prairiehammer]

I am crying 'foul'.

The 1978 CB750A didn't come with the Akront rims, it came with Comstar wheels. The 1978 had dual exhaust (4 into 2). The 1978 had cast aluminum passenger foot peg mounts, not the steel frame extensions shown. Your pictured bike is a 1976 with Akront rims and stock four into one exhaust and stock passenger foot pegs (in other words a 1976 frame). The seat is not 1976 stock but it was available as a Honda option.

And we can't check eBay ads from 2006 (where your pic was taken from).

 

Here's a 1978 Honda CB750A that sold at an auction in Vegas January 2014, survivor with 4000 miles.

Here's a 1976 CB750A with the optional seat, (although the seat appears to have added padding).http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/08/75/6a/08756adcc3e671e8801653dd2168e16a.jpg

ok i bow to your superior knowledge in this case

[Prairiehammer]

Not to beat a dead horse, but for what it's worth Pegasus, here is a stock unrestored 1977 CB750A.

Note the color, the pinstripes, the exhaust and the passenger peg mounts.

I am going to claim winner of last guess, so here is another for y'all to find:

[Prairiehammer]

Since it has been more than a day since I posted the bike to guess, I am going to assume that a hint may be needed.

 

The country of manufacture is bordered by Poland.

[hell yea]

sorry it took so long looked like a vtwin in the pics lol

[Prairiehammer]

Yeah, I considered showing other shots of the bike, but I figured if you saw a V-6 engine you would get it too quickly.

I also considered this shot, thinking you would not notice the bike, thus spending time looking for the girl.

Looks like a Honda MB5. 1980.

"HONDA MB5 (1979 - 1982) Description & History: Honda MB5, produced since 1979 till 1981, was considered a mix between a scooter and a motorcycle,

A blast from the past. Boy, I wouldn't want to engage any curbs with those cylinders hanging so low.

1948: REDRUP RADIAL: Aircraft Engine Designer, Charles Redrup and his son John built the Redrup Radial, the cylinders were installed horizontally and the engine internals included an amazing system of cams and oscillating cruciform's to control the overhead valve gear. The frame was a pre-war Royal Enfield. The motorcycle was powered by a 248cc OHV three cylinder engine.

Not many pics out there for this. Sorry about the size and quality.

 

[hell yea]

looks like a Honda xr 650 modified to 2 wheel drive with swing arm front suspension to me

[Prairiehammer]

Here's a clue:

 

Oh, I forgot the most important clue: it is French. No surprise there, I'll bet. The Franco are so weird when it comes to wheeled machines.
