NEWB from kent
« on: October 04, 2016, 06:04:58 PM »
hi all after long last ive now acquired a 1978 cb750f2, I first saw a cb750k series around 1975 as a young lad and it struck an instant chord with me although personally I prefer the looks of the F2, but none the less still a cb, other bikes in my stable are a zzr14, rd 250 ypvs import, Honda mb5, and a Kawasaki ar80 so quite a diverse range, although the cb is clean it has only done about 200 miles since the year 2000 so needs fettling and I'm sure I will pop up on the forum soon asking for help/ advice  ;D

Welcome to the forum Bob. I come from Kent so know the county very well but moved to Lincolnshire back end of last year. There are quite a few forum members in Kent so you will never be far from local advice. Good luck with your fettling and have fun.

Hi Bob,
Welcome to the forum.
I'm from Ramsgate too and currently working on a 1976 CB750 F1/F2 mongrel!
Bike nearly done, Engine currently awaiting a rebuild when funds allow!
Perhaps we can help each other out!

All the best
