CB750 / Found a nice one
« on: December 13, 2024, 02:45:59 PM »
1974 K4

I picked this up last weekend.

Almost completely original. Showing just over 8000 miles, which from the info I have from James, who originally imported this, 10+ years ago, seems correct.

It was also the cheapest one I've seen advertised for a long time

Hopefully these pics work. I'm not very tech savvy

CB750 / Lights not working
« on: December 07, 2024, 01:32:03 PM »
Just picked up a really nice '74 K4.

Seems to be mostly original, and most things work, except the head and tail lights, which was a surprise, given the overall condition of the bike, which I'd say is excellent

The switch illuminates the clocks, and the brake light works

Any obvious things to check on these, as it's my first CB750

What is the legality with front mudguard mounted number plates ?

They're common on early British bikes, and I've seen a few early 750s with them, but not many. Are they illegal after a certain year ?

CB750 / K2 - K6
« on: November 21, 2024, 01:54:26 PM »
I'm new to this, and in the market for a CB750 Four.

I've done some research, and have discounted the K0 and K1, mainly due to price, but also because I want to ride the bike, not show it.

Having said that, I'm not looking for a project> i do want something presentable and well cared for. So my question is this;

I understand anything above a K2 is a US bike, and that doesn't bother me, but between the K2 and K6 or US/UK '72 - '75 is there a better year/model or is it merely personal preference on paint schemes and colours etc. There doesn't seem to be too much spec or performance enhancement between the models

Any help greatly appreciated

New Member Introductions / Hi diddly ho, Honda reeno's

Just joined a few days ago, in my search for a suitable steed.

Hampshire, UK based, 53 (is that young on here ?)  ;D Looking to add to my stable of riders, not show'ers

Bikes I own;

2006 HD Street Bob custom
2019 Husqvarna FE350
2023 BMW C400X
1981 Honda Caren Deluxe x 2 (yep - 2 of those bad boys)

Just sold a 2022 Kawasaki Z900RS SE. The second Z900RS I've owned, but just didn't use it. So I got the BMW scoot for sunny days to work.

I have had a hankering for a CB750 for many years, and my pal just bought an old 50's BSA, which has spurned me on, to get another classic, having also just sold my 1981 Yamaha RD350LC
However, as nice as my mate's BSA is, I don't enjoy mopping up oil, and I like my bikes to start now and again, so I'm on the hunt for something to ride on nice days. Not a show bike, or purely an investment, but not a fixer upper either

If it's ok to put a wanted ad in here, I'll do that, but thought an intro first would be more polite :)
