I work Tue/Wed nights, but luckily this is my last month of evening shifts, so BFM is on the calendar for June 19!

This months issue of Motorcyclist Magazine has a CB750 Cafe on the back cover as an ad for insurance.

Too bad I could have not known this was going to happen in 1969.
Who would believe  it!

Sweet...keep the blue.

its a toss up I like the blue too but I really like the orange. I have two new side covers from frankenbike and the paint on the tank has some decent blemishes so I have a blank canvas so to speak. Then my wife really likes my white K and if I sell that then I have to take her into consideration as well. Decisions!

WOW!

After a 3000 miles service and a good cleaning of the carbs I finally took it out for a test ride this past weekend. All I can say is WOW! This thing is a blast. I swear it has way more power than my K model of the same year. I put on a new MAC muffler and it sounds pretty good. Starts right up, idles perfect, revs like a banshee. Did I mention everything works? Even the signal buzzer. For some weird reason the F feels like a smaller and lighter than the K. That can't be right?

I may keep this one and sell my K!

I thought the samething once I got my 550f done when compared to my 78 550K. It seemed to handle much better and was much nimble. Keep her!

I agree. One ride and it feels like a better bike than my K not sure why. The K is done and nothing left to do except swap over some of my more expensive uprgades like DYNA coils and ignition. I can make the F even better over the winter but its definitely rideable now. Decisions.......

Keeping both will not make the boss happy. Since I convinced her I would make some money by reselling it.
