I have achance to aquire a pretty 77' cb750k, those of you who ride these bikes please give me some advice

I would have to do minor things in order to fire up, according to a reliable source, so I cant ride it til I get it going and take it home so no test drive

I started off, and continue, to be , dirt rider, I owned a 02' sv650 for a few years, just o.k. bike, haven't ridden street since, trying to butter wife up to

ride street, I rode a friends 73' bmw and it was interesting but unsafe, this bike looks like a nice rider, but I don't know, what should I expect in the

ride of the bike? does it feel like driving a 55 bel-air (never have) or wil it be a fun responsive solid ride?
 
Although a 750 is nowadays considered a little motorcycle, these were back in the day the bike to own. Of all the bikes I own I find myself pulling out my '77 F more than anything else. It is in my opinion the best all around universal bike to own.
 
I really dont like the looks of the 77-78 either model, but they are, for the rider the best of them all. and the most powerful.
 
Thanks for the input everyone! I did it, she lives in my garage now, I am soon to follow, nasty looks ever since it mysteriously appeared at night. The wife called it a cougar

after she cought me starring at it, I didn't have the heart to tell her it was actually in its dirty thirties. It has been garage kept and at one time dealer maintained but

unfortunately there is a 1/4" long gap in the head gasket. So my plans of chasis/suspension rebuild and looking super cool with a sweet leather jacket and street helmet

have been diverted to the first priority of getting it going. I have started into the service manual (the best I have seen) at ch. 1 "Remove the Engine", this bike was well

designed and worthy of a rebuild. I am sure I will need some advice soon when I get to those valve things, I'm just a simple 2-stroke man, replace piston and go. I forsee

this being a smooth as possible rebuild with the wealth of knowlege in these online enthusiast forums. For now it is garage time, rockin' out with bloddy knuckles high on

brake parts cleaner.
