New member in Lancashire
« on: November 04, 2026, 02:08:06 AM »
Hi, imma new owner from Lancashire in the Uk.

I’ve just bought a 73 MY CB750 - though it is in 74 colours. 12k miles n total and about 1k miles since 1979.

Just working through things to get it rideable and then looking forward to putting some miles on it 😊

Welcome to the forum.
Good luck with your project. I assume it's been sitting in USA for all those years?

Welcome Anderzander, you're in good hands here, lots of help if you need it. Nice looking 750 in good condition, looks like a USA model?

Yes - it came from Minnesota and has really not done much at all.  Hopefully I get to put lots of miles on it.
