Finally got me a CR750 and a motor I’d sell
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

Dude, I have a 1/16 scale monogram big drag. A buddy builds them custom and I understand they bring good money assembled. I always assumed new in box was better. Maybe I'll tell him to build me the Honda and I'd trade for that.

Those CB/CR750 model kits are worth money not used, still all parts in the box, right?

Can well be, but it is much more fun building them, I did mine in the seventies, when my daily transport was a 350f and I never had had the chance to get a close look at a CB750. I was in the army then and could buy those duty free, else I couldn't afford them. And I still like looking at them, although the engine one isn't complete anymore, suffered a broken camshaft years ago, but it still looks the part :)

I missed to buy a CB750 model for not that much. Many sellers want too much. Tamiya released a later version not many years ago, 2000 something.
