I take turns.  Last ride was on the K8 so next one up is the Z1! I always look forward to that...

YEP - Maybe last of the breed, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing!

Picking this one up in a week or two - pretty good overall standard condition, apart from the Motad 4:1, but I have an alternative lined up  ;)

I'm in the process of rejuvenating a '78 CB750K right now.  Waiting on some lower profile turn signals, going to change the oil and flush some new brake fluid into the system.  Hope to have it on the road in a couple weeks for some stress relief after my 12+ hour days

Edit: I'm planning on running a Carpy 4-1 and pods... if anyone has any "proven" jetting tips, I would surely appreciate it.

There's not too many cb's around here, didn't realize we were outcasts. I always felt a bit special anyway myself with the fat wheel and heavy chain. Gotta get all that power down somehow.
82° here today, winter is harsh in these parts.
 It looks a bit shabby but runs and rides beautifully, were all of them all brown originally? this tank has only ever been white inside and out

Yeah - totally cool - love these bikes - 1977 CB550K with a bit of a cafe homage, and a resto on a 1977 CB550K - beautiful bones, but it's going to need some work.
