CB750 / Identify this 750
« on: April 02, 2019, 08:58:30 PM »
Pretty new to this game so racking brains here. Hope you don't mind  :-[

This has caught my eye, liking the squarer style tank.

Am I right if I say its an F0 or F1? The video title says CB750K 1975 but I am confused as I thought the K models had the rounded tank with exposed filler. Also has rear disc.

Or is it a 75 K with more modern parts?

Interested in your views  :)

Thanks

Just noticed looks like Davefirestorm's model

Hi all, I must say I have been trawling this forum for the past few weeks. Of course it is with intent, of which the end product in my mind keeps changing.

After picking up a Honda SP1 a couple of years ago now I realise that I am not cut out for the type of riding that bike deserves. A few reasons; first the UK roads, well around the south here in Dorset, are only ever slightly free in the winter and that's not conducive with the sort of rider I seem to be now  :-[. Secondly I don't feel too at home not being able to see and work on the engine of the machine I ride, like most of us I expect, I like to tinker. Not too often! But being able to play around with what you ride is a good feeling. Finally I am not getting any younger and yeah it can be hard work sometimes.

I thought about buying a trail type bike such as the BM GS but when I visited the local dealer I realised that I probably would need a UFO licence to ride / fly one. They are so huge. I came away from there feeling a little lost but inside I felt I knew where I wanted to go. CafĂ© racer  :) Well in my time I have owned a few similar orientated bikes. FS1E, RD125LC, RGV250L, GSXR750L, a couple of Tritons, Ducati MK3 done like the Desmo,  it goes on!

So I started trawling the net and fell in love with the CB series, first I looked at 350, then 550 but at the moment I am swayed to the 750K (I think). You see I never owned one but think it can get me where I want to be. Completing a conversion will satisfy my tinkering need without doubt.

I am of the opinion that if I am going to do it, I may as well go all out. That's kind of been my approach in life, no half measures.

Anyhow I have lots of questions to ask, books have been ordered and I thank you all in advance for the very interesting articles I have read to date.

Cheers
Clint
