It looks a nice bike, I reckon a carb synch could sort out your flat spot. It seems fair money for a good bike, others will advise regarding the rims, I wouldn't know. Only a true geek is going to notice.
Edit: Are black and white plates legal on a P reg? A copper once told me the cutoff was 31/12/72 as he did me for the plate on my 77 Bonnie, it may have changed.

I think this date is now circ 1976? Or 1977?. I hope so as I am about to purchase black and white plate for mine.

This is from the DVLA current leaflet inf104...
-----
Traditional number plates for vehicles made before 1 January 1973
Vehicles made before 1 January 1973 may display traditional ’black and white’ number plates (for example, white, silver or grey characters on a black plate).
Since April 2016 vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1976 can display the older style plates. You must:
have applied to DVLA, and
be registered within the ‘historic vehicles’ tax class.
Vehicles constructed 40 or more years ago are exempt from tax. The 40 year exemption date rolls forward automatically each year on 1 April.
-----
Consequently this date will have rolled forward earlier this month and it seems applies not only to the tax exemption but also the number plate style that can be used.

Afraid not! There was a discussion on here late last year, and the black number plate date of 1976 DOES NOT roll along with the "40 year rule" 1st Jan 1976 is a fixed date and that is that! Must admit, I can't understand why people want to do this to bikes which aren't entitled to wear them, it looks daft, and will draw attention from young keen coppers, and the fines for it keep climbing. Same as smaller than legal number plates, why give plod an open invitation to hassle you?????

Could those of you that know more about CB750's (i.e. all of you) give your considered opinion on the bike in this advert.
I have seen it and ridden it. It looks very tidy, but has a flat spot at between 3 -4 thousand revs when you open it up. It also has (immaculate ) Takasago wheel rims when they should be DID surely? All advice and comments appreciated as I am looking to get a CB750. My current collection is all Zeds.

A bit too pricy, not correct for a USA unit and it was restored but, some 25 years ago.

I agree Hairy, seeing an old style B&W plate on a newer vehicle just doesn't look right.
