Quite like this, NC36.

Saw one of these about year 2000 and had a run on it, quite impressive and looks lovely but never seen one since until here on eBay, seems to tick all the boxes?

I thought you wanted a CB750 K2?

I do Julie but my options are open till the right one becomes available at the right price if at all, I monitor Hondas on eBay regularly and that's how I came across the NC36, there's also one particular Suzuki T500 I like.

I had a T500 a million years ago, an absolute heap in blue. She was a bitch to start and the hotter she got the less inclined she was to start. She was also missing 2nd gear for some reason. Great fun to ride though.

Been trawling the internet and as Trigger states parts are difficult to get hold of and many negative posts from years ago regarding rust issues which I think were aimed at the exhausts, then for an extra grand one could possibly pick up a decent K6.

Yeah I'd seen that Watty, being fussy it's not the colour I prefer plus bidding on that type of auction is unknown territory for me, I'd be unsure.

A quick change in direction as I come across another non CB750 bike, a CB450 K5. Had to be quick on this one so after an afternoon weighing up the pros and cons I bought it. Looks good and it's the right colour in my opinion, red.

No not yet Mike, the photos are crap and slightly out of focus. When the bike is delivered I'll take some decent photos and post.
