Hi all. New member here pointed in your direction by the very helpful Julie.

Been heavily into bikes all my life and have owned and raced many modern superbiles. I’m never more happy than when I’m in my workshop up to my ears in bikes and bits. I have a reasonable knowledge of all things mechanical as I’ve learned from some incredibly talented and kind freinds and technicians along the way.

I’m at that time of life where I’ve stepped back in riding those super fast bikes. So now I’m looking into getting into the bikes I yearned for but just couldn’t afford when they were introduced in the UK. The 750 Four came out when I was an apprentice so zero chance of having one back then…. The bikes that really take my fancy are the 750 Fours earlier models and maybe a CBX if one was to come along.

So I’m here to learn and hopefully help where I can. 👍👍👍

Thanks. I see a lovely blue 750 four often parked in Tenbury Wells which is our nearest wee town. Could it be you or perhaps someone on here or someone you know ?

Welcome to the forum. I was a bit young when the CB750 was released but was the right age to want a CBX when they came out. Had a huge poster of one in my bedroom, it was the silver one on the reverse side of the Honda model range poster.
