Just got it yesterday and joined the forums today.  I'm incredibly excited can't wait to ride her some more. 

Cheers, and thanks for the forums!

Welcome!

+1 on pics, let's see your new ride  :)

What kind of shape is it in?  Planning any mods, or just to ride the heck out of it?

Well, it seems I left out all the details!  I just moved to Los Angeles, CA from Chapel Hill, NC about a month ago and after trying to find a cheap car and only finding junkers I started looking at motorcycles.  After doing my research I knew I wanted a CB750 and finally found one, and in really good condition, too. 

I took the windscreen off since I'm riding in the city for the moment (and there's a sticker under the seat that warns against handlebar mounted fairings). Here's the photo:

Thanks for the warm welcome.  And mystic, I just plan to ride the heck out of it.

You're not kidding, that thing looks pristine!

I found it on Craigslist.  I think I got pretty lucky.  It's been garaged for a while.

Hello and welcome. My 1st superbike is also a CB750F2 which I am now in the process of rebuilding. So, I am pretty sure you too will be toying in your head day and nights, what else can be done  ;D. Happy riding
