Yeah those 'Z' bars seem out of place! Personally never did like them anyways.

That's good to know. That motor looked tight and there was not even a hint of oil anyplace underneath - frankly I am not used to that and I love it.

yeah I suppose a tuba player is SOL lol

I am sure you will be fine. It's a strange paradox perhaps as you know, but when turning you push right to turn right and vice-versa - which is counter-intuitive but true - this takes some getting used to. The greatest risk on the road is most definitely cage drivers - particularly the young and...

I am glad my guitar knowledge can help me with cleaning carbs as well! Of course there are two 'E' strings on any guitar - the high 'E' string ranges between 0.008" and 0.013" in diameter and low 'E' string is between 0.048" and 0.056". My assumption is the high E string would be the ideal one...

Hmmm....I put up with a lot of oil puddles with all the Harley's I have owned. I guess I thought I could avoid that here, but then again my Honda is 41 years old, so perhaps my expectations should not be too high. Good news is I am used to it - so no worries! Any chance the SOHC's leak less?

Wow - it's been sitting a while for sure! God knows all that will need to be done. Does the engine turn over at least? I agree the cafe racer style is very cool - and parts are very much available so you can do anything with it. Best of luck! P.S. I know many men that do not ride because their...

Wow! Your '74 looks much better than the one I just bought! Although mine is a strong runner. Mine set me back a grand, do you mind if I ask if yours was more or less than that? Beautiful Bike bro!

Thanks! Why? do these old CB750's tend to leak oil?

I just bought a '74 CB750 for an even grand and it runs perfectly. Chances are the bike you are looking at could become a runner for the difference of $400 or perhaps much less. The question is do you have the gumption, patience and knowledge to investigate and fix the problem? I assume you have...

Welcome to motorcycling! I think you made a wise choice starting with a CB750 - should treat you well. My first bike was a 1967 Triumph Tiger 650 which was great too. Only one carb compared to four! I just bought my first Honda so I am with you on that, although I have been riding for 30 years...

Howdy folks! I just bought my first Japanese bike - 1974 CB750 and I am excited about it. Actually a banner week as my wife also bought a Subaru Outback this week! All of this may not sound like much, but we have have been die hard all American (and British) machines all our lives - and two...
