I will sell you this bike for 3k and I would be happy to get that price.  And, you will enjoy the ride home after you fly out to pick it up.  Many newish parts on this bike.

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

Pile on,  "will do a ton"  ::). Who are these people?  $700 in indiana with low mileage, runs excellent, no leaks, and clear title.  Looks like what i get for $250-450 but like the other guy said, when i can get them.  Getting very rare here in project status which is what that is.

Just missing the rear grab rail. Has stock air box and filter.

Going to sleep on it then see how I feel. Nice fellow and honest also. Might be a go.

Yeah, 4 AM comes early but then I'm retired so I pretty much do what I want.  ;D

It's missing the rear grab rail but other than that it's pretty sweet. The only problem I have is the earlier years looked much better than the "customizing" looks of 79 model years IE: 1980-82 CB 750 Custom. Longer forks, two step seat, peanut shape tank.

With the unemployment rate in LAS I'm holding off for a day or two then going to offer 1K. NOS rear bar is $90.00 shipped.

Will see.

Now, if Vossero needs a project I can oblige with the Canary 550. I still say the one in Parker (see earlier post) could probably be bought for $800.00.

It does not mean that just because a CB750 only has 14,000 miles that it is in good shape.
The cam chain tensioner rollers may be so brittle that the oil sump is full of rubber bits.
Those rubber bits can get into the crankshaft oil holes too.

Thirty years or more takes it toll. It is not just the mileage.
