Both had Comstar wheels, just like the subject bike and motors that appeared to be identical (silver colour on both bikes in 1980-81). But, there were differences. The 750 was chain-driven while the 900 was shaft-drive. The 900 had a dual range sub-transmission, the 750 didn't. The 900 had air-assisted suspension front and rear, not the 750. With what little is shown of the subject bike in the pictures (even the close-up of the motor), it's very hard to determine if it's a 900 or a 750. But, on the motor picture, I believe, though I'm not a 100% sure, I can see an oil cooler. In the US (and maybe elsewhere), the 900 Custom had one, not the 750. So, I vote CB900C! -- Last edit: 2014-06-19 08:54:28
