It doesn't even run, so how would it ever be above 1500 RPM, much less 8K? ::)

The bike is retired by choice and circumstances. I'm just its new caretaker and keep the dust off it, bringing it to a show once in a while.  It needed a few things changed after it found me (which is a very delicate operation as almost every fastener is exquisitely safety-wired!)
  It was never a stock CB750; it was completely scratch-built from a modified bare frame-up and carefully assembled using top-shelf aftermarket parts from day 1.
  Different, huh?

The motor was completely worked like the rest of the machine when it was built in 1975, and I was told really fast the 1 time it ran on a racetrack. The bike is retired by choice and circumstances. I'm just its new caretaker and keep the dust off it, bringing it to a show once in a while.  It needed a few things changed after it found me (which is a very delicate operation as almost every fastener is exquisitely safety-wired!)

There are too many trick bits on that bike to count on all your fingers and toes. Wow.
Very cool bike. Show bike or rider; resto, brat, cafe, bobber, choppa; pro build or garage build - I appreciate them all.

Thanks! I accept. There's always such great competition in these BOTM threads and in my short time here I am amazed at the quality of the work I see, such beautiful bikes!

Here's a link to my build thread in case anyone is interested http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=107088.0

yeah Tactial   I'm also amazed at the quality of the work, I think every old motorcycle that's brought back to life, no matter the condition, should qualify for BOTM. Its fantastic to see these bikes on the road again, the're a piece of art and history. Keep up the good work. That's my 2 cents.
thanks, Mark
