Hello from Scotland
« on: July 02, 2023, 05:12:47 PM »
Hello all. Hope to be active in the forum later this year. I’m retired and will be looking for a CB750 to restore once I’ve sold my Bandit and VFR750. I still have fond memories of a K2 I owned which seems a lifetime ago now.
In the meantime I’ll be mostly hanging around to find my way around and pick up some of tips.
My previous restoration, a VFR400 NC24 wrecks my wrists, but its definitely a keeper.

Welcome from me too Magpie. I have a K2 (750k2 and 500k2 actually) - hope you are not disappointed after being used to the VFR750!
Love the NC24 - fancy a 400 NC30 but probably have the same riding issues as yourself (as I have with my CR750 Rep!)
Enjoy the forum - loads of 750 experts to help you with your search

Welcome, you just need a higher set of handlebars on that 400... ;)

Welcome to the forum.

The NC400 was a great bike. I have only ridden one once and that was on the Honda racing school trackday at Cadwell Park. Honda used the NC400 as their track bikes, great fun  ;D

Good luck finding the 750, plenty out there. Selling a VFR750, that's a brave move :'(
