Title: CB750 Offered - worth a go ?
Post by: andut on July 30, 2017, 07:17:12 PM
I've been offered a UK K2 that's in need of restoration.  All the chrome is scrap, needs an exhaust system and it has the wrong tank.  Engine turns over but not running.  Obviously difficult without photo's (will add some when I get them) but it's offered for £650 - sound about right for a money pit project ?

I think is someone offered that to me id go straight to the cash point and take a punt....does it have paperwork v5 etc if so you probably cant loose
You dont really get much honda four these days for that money...
My opinion anyway

No V5, allegedly been stored for 15yrs and part of a 'job lot'

Definitely going to need a lot of time and cash - bit worried about tank availability, are they around ? 

On a tablet at present, and having difficulty driving it, so will try to add a photo when I get to a pc !

Its a bitsa and can't see anything relating to a K2. I bet the frame numbers relate to K7/K8

Ok, thanks chaps, I'm not familiar with 750s so great to get some learned advice !  Looks like it's not worth the hassle then !
