Topic: First year dohc CB750s; how do they rate?

At least we know the meaning of foreplay, here in the northern hemisphere.

And again today I am in awe of my wonderful 1979 CB650. She's just like the Energiser Bunny....just keeps going and going and going.

           Sure wish you'd do something about that cough Terry, it's getting hard for you to get a word in edgewise.

Hmmmm, Terry. A Brough Superior was a 'parts bin special'. And we all know what they are worth now, don't we?

Ha ha, yeah, but a Brough was a beautiful charismatic British sports bike of the era that most people (with the noticeable exception of TE Lawrence, some "well heeled" English gentry and several American movie stars) couldn't afford, pretty much like the recent MV Agusta's.

Whereas a CB650 is a lot more comparable to the BSA M20. Reliable old banger, (I've got one) but nothing really special.................

Much as I like the bike, I can't disagree with you about that.
