Hi

Do you own a 1969 CB750? If so, Classic Bike magazine would like to hear from you. We're looking for a standard, tidy '69 CB750 to ride for a road test and photoshoot. We always treat test bikes with the upmost respect, and we're fully insured. If you'd like to see your bike in print please contact CB's Deputy Editor Jim Moore at jim.moore@bauermedia.co.uk or by ringing 01733 468043.

Thanks.

Jim

Hi Jim.

Eamon (CB750CafeRacer on this forum) is a bit internet-challenged at the moment but I understand that he's been in touch.

PS - when you get around to 1979, I have a mint CB900FZ in blue.

 and there's me thinking they did not come too the u .k .until jan 1970 and what do i know i only got four 1970 k0  models ,perhaps next year they might give me a bell too test ride mine and they can bugger off,they'd be lucky i don't see any money on offer ,they know where they can shove their insurance they wanna ride a 1969 CB750 perhaps they should buy one like we gotta , maybe this should be posted on the main sohc site plenty of sandcasts  in the good old  USA if they can afford the airfare lol

Hmm that sounded a bit harsh!! I suppose what Jim means is a 1969 MANUFACTURE. Mine is being rebuilt as we speak, so definitely not test rideable but it was one of the first UK ones and I have traced the frame date to around 10/69.-- CB750-101038*

I sent you details of it anyway Jim for interest via email.

I am new to this forum but have posted quite a bit on the US version (only just found this one exists!!!)

Was a bit on the harsh side methinks, Jim's magazine is a good read and relies on being able to test ride a variety of machines to keep up the variety in the magazine, there being little point in a bike magazine in which the bikes are not tested, that would mean buying 7 o8 bikes a month and would make the cover price massive, result no magazine. Sadly I've not got a cb750 of any age to lend and no bikes at all of a standard that magazines would want to test ride, unless theres a test of cb500 sidecar combos planned where 'Patina' isn't a put off- m bike is unrestored and currently unoriginal -550 motor and carbs whilst the 160 000 mile motor awaits rebuild.
