Can you help me confirm the year of this cb750?
« on: October 28, 2016, 04:50:55 PM »
Hi from Montreal, no Honda yet but minutes away from calling the guy and making him an offer on his CB750.  Alright!  Looking forward to sharing good times with you guys and bombarding you with questions about my (hopefully) new ride.

Also ride a Yamaha V Star Custom, but looking to the Honda for a project over the winter.

Incidentally, maybe you can help...this is the bike I'm looking at -

- the guy who's selling it says it's an '81 - does that look about right?  I have a feeling the year is off but I could be totally wrong.  It says CB750K on the side panel.

Thanks for having me, best wishes from MTL,

Yep, your links are corrupted.

Should look like this as an example:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
