Just didn't do it for me. For some reason I would rather have rusty than spray painted. At least with rust I know what I am getting. I think at $500 it is a very good deal. I just didn't want to take it on. I think I need a rider instead of a project for the summer:)

Geez why not wave a stack of $1s?  You might get more than you bargained for.

Aw jezz, $500 for a CB750 and you guys think it's too much? :(
Nearly worth my while to crate it and ship it home to New Zealand for that price, I'd get a $k for it just as is here!
Picky picky picky! ;D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

You can put spray paint on a CB, but it's still a CB!
