Rare Beast CB750 Britain

royhall:
Why would you need to rebuild the engine completely with 14k miles on the clock. Must have been seriously abused or left standing with an engine full of petrol or something similar. Things just doesn't add up on that bike.

Bryanj:
Its an F2, exhaust valve guides would be shot by then

royhall:
That's just a head rebuild.

Bryanj:
True, but i have seen them push oil out everywhere when guides really bad and as it has to come out to remove head.

K2-K6:
It's the slightly vague description of engine being rebuilt and only 100 miles, but doesn't run properly. If it's been taken in like that, then they don't really know what's inside it and just guessing.

Or do they have the skills to rebuild one properly but just can't be arsed now to complete a debug and make sure it's going in a way that would match the price.

Either way, it looks like they are winging it. Suggestion that it would be worth more IF running properly doesn't wash, in effect they are offering something with a verified fault (it doesn't run correctly) which would bring the question up from someone buying it as to any future problems.  It just goes round in circles really, else needs an owner willing to accept they'd have to correct anything wrong and be comfortable about that eventuality. 

But that would likely mean a different price,  they can't have it both ways,  can they?
