I wonder if it's been stored near the seaside.

If you enlarge the pictures there is corrosion everywhere, fork bottoms are a mess and the rims are looking shoddy.
Must have been stored in a damp place.

Skoti:
Just enlarged the photos and shocked to see the extent of corrosion on the left side.
Makes me wonder what state the cylinder bores are in?

My CB750F1 sat for 10 years in a damp shed before I acquired it, but it had been sprayed with WD40 before being stored so was not too bad corrosion wise.

But I discovered cylinder number one piston rings had corroded to the cylinder bore.
Freed off ok with a spanner on the crank nut, but smoked and consumed oil until repaired properly.

Fantastic restorers reference.
Master cylinder boot looks like it has been nibbled by mice ..exactly the same as my 400-4 one, was when it was stored away in a barn for 15 years.

UK Pete:
I just enlarged the pics, it will need a total restore,
I am just wondering if that wear on front disk is only 3.6 km, I am sure they said not ridden

It's got a strange brake master cylinder on it 🤔 Also, the kick start lever needs to be moved round 1 tooth on the spline, the long part of the lever should be parallel to the profile on the chrome cover 😊.
