I'll second Scott's 500/650.  He's had that bike done 3 separate times, every iteration is nicer than the last.

Thank you, this motorcycle accepts the nom. There's quite an interesting history behind this motorcycle, and hopefully an appropriate future (museum or important collection anyone?). Currently it is in my studio doing what it does best.

I freakin' love that bike, and don't blame you for not riding it...but by the looks of it, that is definately not what it does best!

736cc and Scott S have been seconded and accepted.
I'll second the other two (Tactical and GV1390 bikes).
These two people now need to accept the nominations.

    Youtube or even computers weren't even invented the last time this thing ran. And some of you weren't even born! It's going to stay retired and untouched except occasional shows and correct detailing. No electric starter, no idle circuits in the CR31 carbs, full advance locked on the ARD magneto, stale Goodyear racing slicks, no brakes,  and no fluids on a perfectly preserved 35 year old-school build gives new meaning to the wise old saying "don't fix it if it ain't broke".
   Probably sounds like much too loud HM300's w/ no baffles.

  Just in case you think I don't ride, this ain't my 1st CB750, but its the one of the more interesting. I stopped counting around 40 prime early examples that I've  owned/restored/flogged since 1998.This bike took 1st place at Mid-Ohio VMD in 2012 (I also took 1st in 2004 for my restored gold Sandcast that I rode daily for years) Hmmm.

No need for explanations, 736. We've seen your beautiful bikes.  Second to none.

Did you read it properly ::)

8.   If the motorcycle is a rebuild or restoration, it must be at the completed stage and RUNNING.  In the case of a show bike or museum piece, it will be at the Moderators decision to allow it into the competition and only providing that it was common knowledge that it was not intended to be a runner when it was nominated. Knowing many of these bikes are never finished in the owners eyes, we will take the owners word for it that it is in some form of completed stage.

Andy, your bike was known to be a show/museum piece and therefore it is eligible.
