American owner of my cb750 k4 from Minnesota.
« on: October 24, 2013, 07:25:55 AM »
Recently bought a green CB750 K4 that was imported from Rochester, Minnesota in 2012.Totally standard bike with 8200 miles. Any of you American members know this bike? Would love to contact the previous owner or owners. An unusual feature is that someone has drilled the exhaust mounting brackets to fit something-maybe panniers. Anyone recognize this bike?  Regards Tim from the UK.

Welcome to the forum. If you don't mind sharing I would be curious as to how much it costs you folks to have a bike shipped over to your area. Lots of American machines are going overseas to various places. I follow Rick Brett a little and enjoy reading about his trials and tribulations importing his Kawasaki triples and other customer bikes into England.

Cheapest way is roll-on-roll off shipping from New Jersey to Southampton UK or mainland Europe - costs about $750 one-way. Import fees are about $150 if its your bike.

 Many people that post from a phone, tablet, or other type of media device are using an app or mobile version of this forum. It simply puts those little tabs on there. It's not necessary to post every time that you don't Tweet or do Facebook.
 Expect to see those tags more often, as many, many people are getting away from PC's and using a mobile device of some sort.
