Topic: old times and posters

[petercb750]

G'day folks, and lots of happy sohc riding days in 07 to you all.
I probably should post this in the 'wanted' section, but it doesn't really fit a category there, so I'll try here.
Back when I was a long haired rebellious teenager in the 70s I had a poster on my bedroom wall of a CB750 - it was gold, only cos I couldn't get a red one to match what I had parked in my long suffering dad's shed. This poster has long since vanished, probably chucked out in one of his moves - I don't remember taking it with me when I left home (well, kicked out) all those years ago.
Anyway, to get to the point - I'm looking to get my hands on a poster(s) of a CB750 to once again adorn my walls - this time in my own newly completed garage. I've checked ebay, and a couple of shops, but nothing nears what I am looking for - plenty of general Honda posters, but nothing specific for 750s. I'm talking decent sized stuff - say 3x2 feet, or 1x.8 metres or thereabouts, and not just magazine spreads.
So, does anybody know where I might be able to source something like this? New or old, doesn't matter as long as it is in good condition.
I am also interested in the same for the 400/4.
All help gratefully received. 
Cheers
Peter.

I don't have any posters but I did get a cool clock with a cb350f.

Check ebay I see 750 clocks from time to time.

Would go well with a poster....and it helps with "in a minute honey"

Hi Peter.

Your timing is very good. I trawl around ebay on a weekly basis year in and year out and this is the biggest and best I have seen.

I was thinking of bidding, but nah, I've got the real thing sitting there so why bother     

Of course this is a K0 and your poster was probably of a K1 or later. I'm pretty sure that this is probably as good as it gets after 30 odd years. I was thinking of buying old Playboy magazines from about 1968-1976 and trawling through them for advertisements of CB750's. Man, now I'm really showing my age, trawling for advertisements, not titties and airbrushed minges.....

kghost - yeh thanks mate. I've seen those clocks and I think would make a good b'day present later on. Ta.

tc - you're right mate - was a K1 I think from the fading memory (although I had a K2 then and same now). That one you linked me to is sweet but a little smaller than I was hoping, but then again beggars can't be choosers. Will keep an eye on it. And you might convince me of your reasons for buying old Playboy mags, but I doubt your mrs will fall for it!! 

Thanks guys...the search continues.....

You could alsways find the pic of your dreams in a magazine and take it to your friendly local reproduction shop and have them enlarge it for you. I have has success with getting super-sized images made (and laminated) to hang on the wall.

someone here had a buttload of posters for sale about a year ago... anyone remember who that was?  i think they were all sold but, i'd bet that person has connections.

I've got these ones available. They can be had in most any sizes up to 36x108 and are laminated.

Honda Posters

i'd bet that last one is pretty close to the one he's looking for

[6pkrunner]

On page 1? There are 6 pages of them.

[heffay]

yes... sorry

[6pkrunner]

No - no sorry, I was confused. The last is the Sorcerer and I was wondering??

[petercb750]

Thanks for the interest guys - 6pk has a great selection on the link he provided.
The trouble with getting my own images reproduced is finding someone local able to do it at a price that is still reasonable, but I'll give it a try and see where it leads.
Cheers.
