Remember the Honda CB750 of the 1970's? One of the best selling bikes ever...I even had the CB750A that had the semi-auto tranny (torque-converter).

Here's a CB750 Reverse trike...hmmmm....looks a lot like a Spyder at first glance huh?

Ok, then... I went back and very carefully studied all three pictures and, sure enough, my new answer is...





















"no".

I know this is getting a little off topic, but, I remember the CB750 because I restored this one, and it's sitting right here in my office! Here is the before and after pics!

Well, the top picture is stock, and the bottom is after all the after market mods were done and it had some mileage on it, so I guess that's a valid question!!!

OK, I am a fan of good design, and this is an attractive machine, but who got painto come up with the acronym "HFT?"

"Human Friendly Transmission?!"

I guess my PE Spyder only has "Human Tolerant Transmission..."
