Oldiron550:
I'm new here so it's my first post and it's a question. I will also introduce myself later today, but before I plunge into the world of SOHC!

I'm thinking of adding this CB750 to my small stable.

It's a 1977 F2, not the best looking SOHC but it's worth saving from the breakers!!

Only one owner with 42000 miles on the clock, the last time it was on the roads was 1999. It's never had a V5 issued, the owner has the original green log book. The CB was bought locally new and still retains it's original Co Armagh (N Ireland) number plate.

I realise it's going to cost £££ before I can get her on the road again. Starts on a power pack and doesn't sound too bad, owner said she selects all gears ok needs a couple of disc maybe a caliper or two if I'm lucky just a rebuild kit. Front mudguard replacement, the tank, side panels and rear tail need reprinted and new badges, a closer panel for the rear seat. Engine service kit, carb rebuild kit, a battery, few new cables, a leaver the list could go on & on!!!!

I haven't made the owner an offer yet!! So judging the photos what do you think the F2 is worth and roughly how much will it cost me to get it back on the road?

Hello and welcome

She looks nice and original I would be surprised if it needs new discs as they are stainless and last forever.As for price I would just go in low and see what happens I guess it would be worth about £1200 and you would probably have to spend that on it.
It's surprising how quickly all the little bits add up but it's always worth it.
Good luck

Looks fine and I bet you could make it roadworthy for a lot less than £1200. I wouldn't have thought more than 1k for it.
Then I wouldn't really know.  ::)

I'm sure you could make it road worthy for as little as £200
Have a look on ebay you would be surprised what they sell for :o
