CB750F1 Surrey
« on: November 14, 2014, 11:15:07 AM »
Hi everyone

Quick intro-

I live near Guildford.

Have been into bikes since a teenager, started fixing a seized Lambretta at age of 14 and now have a few completed bikes and a few projects.

Most recent project was a UK reg CB750F1, bought from a friend, with a seperate removed seized engine.

Have always enjoyed fixing bikes and bringing rusty heaps back to life :)

Look forward to learning a bit more and sharing some of my experiences.

Regards

Martin

Hello, and welcome. CB750F1 is a good choice, and in my opinion the best looking of the SOHC 750s. Some of the unique to F1 parts can be a pain to find, and rather pricey, but I wouldn't part with mine for anything!:))

If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Hi Martin, welcome.

I owned an F1 back in 78, cost me all of £800 back then!

Thanks, I actually prefer look of F1 to K having had a 400/4 previously.

Doesnt stop me thinking about a K if the right project came along 8)

Not much more satisfying than reviving a rusted wreck to full working order. Good luck.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock
