Never thought i'd see model snobbery on this forum  :(  I really like my K7 but I suppose its not standard.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose

I scrapped one that cost me 50 quid! Funnily enough, apart from the seat I liked the look of them too.

Minus points would be those appalling u.s. spec handlebars, P.D. carbs, and impossible to source stock pipes, they may look shiny, but I reckon first good thrash on the road will cause all the internal baffling to disintegrate and spew out the rear! :o

You forgot to add ugly. That's easily the worst looking of all the CB750's.

Sorry Ginger, I was thinking I may have insulted somebody. There was bound to be people on here that had a K7. ::)

hairygit:
Roy, that u.s. model is indeed horrible, the seat and bars particularly, thankfully U.K spec models looked like normal K series bikes with seamless silencers, but replacement stock pipes are almost impossible to find.

No need to apologise Roy ;D  I guess I bought the K7 because it reminded me of what it was like to be 19 for a while and I also made the mistake of feeling sorry for a bike that had been neglected for years.  Couple of years later the only original parts left are the frame and swinging arm!  In the grand scheme of things its never going to be in a museum, but its worth the couple of grand just to have all the comments along the lines of....'oh thats an old one' and 'I had one of those in the eighties' etc etc
