Hi everyone,
I bought a Honda CB750 K7 in April, that had been imported from the USA, to ride during the summer. It wasn’t quite as good as I was led to believe so have only just about got it ready to go now.

Welcome Phil,
Looks in fair enough condition. Still some riding to be had. Is it registered?

Welcome aboard :)

Seems to be the rule that US imports are better on the outside. I guess they don't decay the same as UK bikes.

Originally from Wisconsin I think. Not sure what the weather is like there. They always look better in the pictures.

Yes it looks ok when posting it and it's the right way up when enlarged. I can do the same trick when I'm using my iPad to take pictures...... seems I was using it upside down! 🙄😂😂

Wisconsin gets pretty cold and in the States (and Canada) they have a riding season imposed on them and bike stays locked away for 5 months+. And many bikes were bought as "toys". Unlike the UK where most bikes got used year round and were the only form of transport.
