CB750 K3 Lake District UK
« on: December 04, 2013, 01:30:49 AM »
Hi just obtained a 750k3 in exchange for my Commando mkIII. In the 70's while a student my biking went C90 ( memorable 150 mile commutes to college on B roads in freezing  weather), CB200 and finally a 30K 500/4 which I went to Italy and back on. Ironic that my 2013 CB750 has only got 8k on it ! Got back into biking in 2009 and have been through Harleys, Fireblades, street triple (currently own the bikes below) but like many wanted to have those bike I could only lust after as a youth. So first the brutish commando and now finally the CB750. It's a green US import and completely original unrestored in excellent but not immaculate condition. Now I'm faced with the usual conundrum to keep totally original or spruce it up selectively. Only ridden it once in the dark but it feels great. Super engine but compared to modern bikes the frame seems very flexible as I had previously read. Inspired to do  this after reading the classic bike feature and looking forward to being a contributor on here. What a great biking autumn we are having in the UK !
cheers
David

Welcome,
Spent a week on a Photo guided tour in your area. It was a great time and many 2 1/4" slides from the area.
