I put a lot of those CX500 Customs together. I worked for a Honda dealer and traded in my 1969 CB750 Sandcast (for $900.00 with 30,000 miles on it, for a 1978 CX500. I didn't miss the 750 until decades later and saw what they were bringing at some auctions. That being said, I did not miss the 750 after riding the CX. It was a good machine until they started having trouble with head gaskets and cam chain tensioners. The CX and GL 650s were excellent though and a definite improvement, so if you can find one of those, go for it. You can go to CX500forumdotcom for expert advice on getting one road worthy again.
Here are some images of the CB750.

Brand new, the day I picked it up, one day after returning from Vietnam. I had to skip an R&R trip to save enough money to buy it.

I would love to have that SilverWing.
My favorite motorcycle of all time was my 1979 Honda CX500 Custom in Dark Candy Apple Blue.

I totaled it out one day when a driver that didn’t even have a license made a left turn in front of me and I broadsided him.

I really miss that bike.

First NEW bike I bought was a beautiful black 1980 Honda CX500 Custom, which I had a Vetter Windjammer fairing & backrest put on it. Great little touring bike. Sold it in '82 after some jerk purposely ran me off the road. Took a 13 year hiatus from motorized two wheels 'til 1995.

It's my new favorite hobby! :-) My wife has a Jeep JL as well and she takes one kid, I take the other, and we venture out off-road. The kids really enjoy it too!

I remember riding out there from Hagerstown for the show alongside about a dozen friends. This would've been 19-20 years ago when I was 18-19...yikes, I'm older than I thought.
