Thanks for all the feedback. Balance of opinion seems to be its not the most pleasant experience. I'll continue my search for a 750 via here,eBay,Oxford classic and DK

To be fair that bike looks fairly nice and it runs so not so much of a gamble as some imported bikes.
I am regularly in touch with a restorer of 750 sandcasts, whose opinion I have always value second to none on CB750's. He knows freddy (Will) quite well and Will even personally imported a bike for him. He speaks well of him but says he just 'doesn't suffer fools gladly' with obvious echoes of what Pete is saying. +1 on the Oxford Classics guy as he seems to describe his bikes pretty well and honestly. Dunno if James on here has anything to offer you but you are geographically a long way away to look at these bikes 'in the flesh'.
Cheers ... Ash

Yeah that's the problem it can cost £300 and a couple of days off to go to see something that might be sold by the time you get there or take a chance and buy on the strength of photos and a sense the seller is fair in their description.
I will at some point take the plunge once I have cleared the garage a bit. I'm 50 next year so I have it in mind as a present to myself. There's no rush as I have my 400 and a vfr but before next May June would be ideal.

400 and a VFR?
