Hello From Ontario
« on: February 21, 2025, 11:42:39 AM »
Hello All,

Just joined and about to embark on my vintage motorcycle journey.  Very Excited.

I live in a small town just north of Toronto, like long distance motorcycle touring and old german cars.

I don't know much about vintage bikes but I intend to learn.  Interested in CB750s but open to all things HONDA.  Would like to buy a well sorted bike, original or nicely restored.  If anyone is local to me I would love to meet up and see you bike.

Thank you ,
Joe

Welcome aboard the forum Joe from south of the border in southern NH.
There are at least a couple guys near you. BenelliSEI sometimes has a bike up for sale in the for sale section. He does some great restorations and wins trophies for them.
Lash is another member not too far too.

In the meantime here's some homework for you to read through to get yourself familiar changes between the years and models of the SOHC 750, 1969-78
