Hi everyone
Quick intro-
I live near Guildford.
Have been into bikes since a teenager, started fixing a seized Lambretta at age of 14 and now have a few completed bikes and a few projects.
Most recent project was a UK reg CB750F1, bought from a friend, with a seperate removed seized engine.
Have always enjoyed fixing bikes and bringing rusty heaps back to life :)
Look forward to learning a bit more and sharing some of my experiences.
Regards
Martin

Hello, and welcome. CB750F1 is a good choice, and in my opinion the best looking of the SOHC 750s. Some of the unique to F1 parts can be a pain to find, and rather pricey, but I wouldn't part with mine for anything!:))

Hi Martin, welcome.
I owned an F1 back in 78, cost me all of £800 back then!

Thanks, I actually prefer look of F1 to K having had a 400/4 previously.
Doesnt stop me thinking about a K if the right project came along 8)

Not much more satisfying than reviving a rusted wreck to full working order. Good luck.
