well this bike kinda fell into my lap, and for $400 i couldn't pass it up its 1975 cb750 f1 1 owner who bought a harley last week. its got 19k miles and been garaged its whole life. i really doubt anyone around here has one of these bikes but if so anything i should know about this model?

Well i just thought i'd let you guys know about my second bike purchase in 2 weeks :laughing: now we just wait and see which one i keep.

Some people have all the luck! :evil:

Those old 750s are still excellent all-around bikes. I owned a '74 K-model for quite a long time... never had any troubles other than normal maintenance. The F model is pretty much the same bike except it's styled a bit more sporty, has a disc brake in the rear and 4/1 exhaust.

this bike has been sitting in the fuel shed at our airport for a week till i asked about it yesterday we went out to it and it fired right away so i drove it around the airport for a little while. i came back and asked him how much when he said 400 i jumped all over it. :lol: i'll be riding it all weekend

Mine is a motorcycle I call "The Beast". She is a 78 Honda CB750K. If yourse is like mine she will have a personality all her own. :motorbike:

I loved my '82 Nighthawk 750. That bike always got me to where I needed to go. Not well sometimes, but she'd never quit when I think most would. I miss my old bike, but at least my manager at work has it, so I get to see him riding it when we go out, and when he brings it to work.

Glad to hear you got such a deal on it. Look forward to hearing about your good times with her. ;)

I picked up an 82 cb650 for $500 2 weeks ago... Total spending on 2 early 80's hondas so far is $900 lol. Great bikes.

You can't go wrong with that price. I'm selling my 83 Magna today for 900. What's the other bike that you bought?

'83 MAGNA?

Would that be a V30,V45, or the all impressive V65? Talk about raw power rapped in a smooth rididng stylish machine. I wish they still made something similar, but I digress. The old 750 is the orginal "Superbike" and it doesn't require a PHD to do basic maintainance. 8)
