Hi from Essex

[Martin6]

Hi,
I've just been allowed in!

I currently ride about 10,000 miles a year. I have a 1250GS for tours (this year will be N Wales, northern Spain in June and Italy in September) and local riding, weekly with mates. I also have an 850 Norton Commando, which I've worked on over the last few years. Nothing too major, new tank and seat, a number of niggling issues, carb refresh, starter sprag, clutch, hydraulic primary chain tensioner, crankcase breather, new chains, tyres and re-laced the front wheel, plus a few minor jobs and full services. That is so far the limit of my mechanical experience. I've really enjoyed it and now get a couple thousand reliable miles on the bike each year.

But, there's an itch I need to scratch. I'm now looking for a CB750, up to K6. Budget's not vast. I've done some research, so still getting up to speed on things to look for. So far I've seen some 'restored' US imports. But they seem to be new paint and saddle, maybe a carb clean, but no sense of what's underneath, even what mileage might be on the engine. So, I'm still looking. I'm happy to take on tidy-up type work, on a basically sound bike mechanically.

I found this forum and liked what I saw. Hopefully I'll soon have a bike and look forward to picking brains and contributing.

Hello Martin,
Welcome to the forum from Orkney!
Plenty of great advice on 750s here - I don't have one, just 350,400 and 550 fours - plus too many others.
I'm sure the others will chime in soon - perhaps someone has what you are looking for - that's how my recently acquired 550 ended up here in the toy cupboard!

Ian

Hi Martin, welcome to this forum and happy hunting for your 750. I have a 750k3 from the states. Needed a total rebuild, but I knew before I bought it. Plenty of knowledge on here regarding 750 and other models as Ian pointed out.

Welcome Martin, I have a UK 750K2 and a 750 based CR750 Replica. Built them with much help from experts on here - so ask away for info on your potential purchase. Good luck on your search!

CB750s are selling for silly money where I live (Ireland) - I’d love one myself but nothing to be had for less than 7k that isn’t a basket case.

There is one in the auction site that looks cheapish. Looks a bit odd, but maybe that's the seat throwing it all out of perspective. Listed as turns over but non-runner though so might need an engine check-over

The paint certainly needs repairing!

Looks odd because it is a bitsa of every 750 known to man
