Greetings from Northern Illinois
« on: September 24, 2007, 05:16:59 PM »
Hello, my name is John.  I'm not yet an owner of one of these bikes, but I've been looking at them a lot lately.  I've had my bike license for about ten years, but have only actually had a motorcycle for three of those years and haven't had one in the last three years.

My first motorcycle was a 1987 Yamaha Fazer, followed by a 1984 (or '83) Honda Magna.

I've been looking at CB750s for a while now, but haven't been able to move it up on my list of priorities yet.  I really like the look of the 77-79 CB750K models.  I also like the idea of getting one that needs a tune up or is in such shape that it wouldn't hurt anything for me to try and apply paint myself.  For example, if I lived closer to CA I'd be all over this one.  I might also consider a 1980-1982 CB750, though it's my understanding that all of these are DOHC engines.

I'm sure I'll have some questions about these bikes, but just thought I'd say "Hi" first off.

Welcome to the club John....almost  :D It's smart to investigate into what you want to buy before you buy it. I did the same thing before I choose to buy a 350F. Lots of members here with the 77-79 CB750K models, so if you do end up with one there is a wealth of knowledge available here to help with restoration.

Anyway welcome again from Ontario, Matt.
