Hi everyone,
I bought a Honda CB750 K7 in April, that had been imported from the USA, to ride during the summer. It wasn’t quite as good as I was led to believe so have only just about got it ready to go now.

Hello and welcome, sure it wasn't an Aussie import? ;D ;D ;D ;D
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Welcome Phil,
Looks in fair enough condition. Still some riding to be had. Is it registered?

Welcome aboard :)

Seems to be the rule that US imports are better on the outside. I guess they don't decay the same as UK bikes.

Originally from Wisconsin I think. Not sure what the weather is like there. They always look better in the pictures.
