New YT video about CB750. Not much info most people here don't already know but it does feature Brighton, where the first prototype was introduced, and a couple of nice early CBs:

Is it wrong for me to say that these bikes more than hold their own in looks, quality...and sound in comparison to todays bikes?......or am i just showing my age......

So many newer bikes seem to have been put together on a movie set of Transformers. Lots of plastic and funny looking lights and angles, not much in the way of flowing elegance.
Yes, I'm old but newer bikes just look like they will be so much junk in a few years.
The lines of bikes like the CB750, Z1, Triumph twins, Nortons, etc. are timeless.
Even the old CL77 type bikes have a lot of class.
Oh well, that's what comes with being an old timer.
