What's the SOHC Honda of Your Dreams?
« on: March 21, 2012, 08:29:24 am »
Here's mine. I had the distinction of placing the first bid last night at $999.00. Any thoughts on where it will end up?

Huh, a '74.
He does not mention any engine mods so it is basically a '74 with Rickman body mods.

I wish I had my dads Brown 69. Likely could have been a sand cast as he bought one of the first available. Ugly as hell color I recall. At least he said it was a 69. and I thought it was brown.

FYI, TTR400 put together a beautiful CR750 replica that he will be selling.

My dream bike is a Kaz kitted 400f with engine and exhaust work, rearsets, billet triple trees, velocity stacks, lightened and polished to a mirror shine!  I'm in the process of converting a CB350f into that dream now!  :)

Don't think they did a brown in 69. Did different shades on the 750 in 71,72 and 73.
