Thanks guys for the replies.
I won the auction today. Now I have to figure out the cheapest (and safest) way to get it shipped here. Any advice? Getting ready to fork out $650 for that.
There are plenty of CB750s in the Northwest. A $1700 CB750 around here will definitely need new exhaust and is usually missing the front turn signals. It's probably missing a side cover or two, and missing other various parts. The tank is probably rattle canned. Many times the fork has been modified, or the seat is missing. At least 28k miles will be on it, too.
A $2200 CB750 will still need some work usually. The "restored" ones around here go from $4000-6500.
I figure winning the one on eBay for $1500 was a good move (around $2100 after shipping). It needs OEM front blinkers, an original side cover put back on to replace the Supersport's (which can probably sell for a few bucks, so no loss there), and eventually the seat redone. Wouldn't mind spraying it Freedom Green myself (I'm a semi professional painter, so it's an easy and cheap task). Oh, and a new horn, but I'd want to replace the stock horn anyways.
I've been trying to confirm some last things about the bike. Nowhere in the description did it say it could drive, or how it mechanically works. It just says it starts right up, idles and runs smooth. The seller seems to have good feedback, so I'm assuming the bike should definitely be ridable even as is. And it has the stock paint, which is cool. Seems clean. Notice the chain cover is still on it (which is rare to see a used bike have that) and it seems complete.
What do you guys think? Study 'dem picts and help build my confidence!
