Hey guys, new CBer here
« on: April 23, 2012, 08:14:15 PM »
Yep, I got a steal of a deal on a 1976 CB750 and figure I'll fix it up good. 

I normally ride a Suzuki DR650 but have had many bikes and am always looking to bite off more than I can chew. 

I used to have a Suzuki Savage and still serve as a moderator on that forum.  I used to have a Honda CRF230L and set up a Simplemachines forum for that (about 1/1000th as popular as this one). 

I know a couple of guys on here already, either from other sites or in real life.  Verslagen1, jesus freek, Pecantree, and probably a couple more guys with whom I bought/sold parts to get ready to refurb my bike.  Oh yeah, here it is, just as I bought it:



This site seems loaded with info and I hope to read and absorb enough to do a good job on my CB.
Cheers,
John

nice bike, and welcome!   

my buddy has a Savage 650 he picked up last summer -- it's pretty sweet (and powerful).

You don't want that really expensive one on CL now? Doesn't look too bad if you can talk him down a bit.
The green 350F looks nice, it too is pricey.

No, don't want that expensive 400 or any 350. It will have to be a good deal 400f with that sexy 4 into 1 stock header!
