Love that bike!
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

You would be replacing those old CR31's before riding it anywhere, they don't have an idle circuit and are quite difficult to set up, pure race carbs only....  Worth a grand+ to the right person...

Yes they were. They also had all kinds of stampings from Honda on them.

I thought Andy's are sandcastle bodies with polished tops and bowls, or is there just something in the pic making me think something is there when it is not.

Wow that bike is incredible looking.

I was going to comment after seeing the first "in the house" pic  but that piece of art deserves its own separate room inside the house just for admiring.

Something like what this guy did...




Congrats on one of the coolest bikes I have seen.

The CR31's are diecast w/ ticklers. And quite a tight fit around the ARD magneto. Bet they were a totall and complete ball-buster to install. Wise old saying: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

My daughter caught me on the bike in my pj's one recent morning making vroom-vroom noises and she snapped a pic w/ her i-phone. Does that count? ::)







Nope that doesnt count. I know you would take a video if you did. I think you should be required to watch the video of this thing before you can access the forums. . .no but for real, the most stunning bike I have seen in a long time. Good on you, sir!

If I had other 750s and that bike was was mine I would have it in my living room.  I would be the only one to sit on the thing.  What can I say?  Great bike!!  Thanks for posting!

If this was the only bike i owned, it would sit in my living room and I don't know if I would have the nerve to sit on it. Who needs TV with a bike like this to stare at.

This bike is just lovely.  This gold anodized piece that the swinging arm is bolted to...that looks like something from Performance Machine.  And speaking of the rims, those look like magnesium  :o
