Don't ride it! If you ride it you're guaranteed to fall in love with it!  (That's a known fact for these 750s... be careful!)

Very nice bike.

 One thing I never understood on this forum;
 Some posters are eager to help someone get a new find going, but NOT if they are getting it running to sell? And if heaven forbid, you did not disclose it was getting ready for sale, some of them go ballistic.. :o

 Anyway, myself, it does not bother me one bit if you sell/flip/make a profit.. My opinion is, if you dont feel the need to ride it in the near future, whoever buys it probably will.... and thats a win, in my books.. get it properly prepped so the new owner can enjoy it..

 Yup its a free country, you dont have to agree or support re-sellers, but I do get to expres my opinion.. FWIW..

oh. I'm just kidding with you, fwiw.  Your bike looks beautiful and whoever has it in the future will be happy.

So, does that mean he's selling it and said nothing on this Forum, or he has faked ( oh, #$%*, I said 'fake' again..!!!) owning this bike completely ?? Either way, what's up with that ???

i don't understand your question but i'll make a blanket statement for the consumer watchdogs of the forum.
i bought the bike for $800.00 i installed a battery, cleaned the gas tank and petcock and spent half a dozen hours or so detailing it.also have had it running on a make shift remote tank. not poorly but as a bike that has been sitting dormaint for twenty five years would run with virtually no servicing.
some friends of mine have taken to dual sport riding and i'd like to join in, hence the sale of the bike.  i offered it for sale here @ $1300.00, no takers. it is now listed on the local cl for $1800.00 which is closer to the bike worth in my opinion. if it does not sell there, i'll list on ebay sunday.
if it does not sell there i'll keep it, tune it, and ride it. but i expect it to sell. until then i will continue to progress with the bike cosmetically and mechanically.
where does the misrepresentation or fake aspect factor in?

the bike sold within four hours of being put on ebay last night for $2750.00. obviously it was still bargain priced. should of snapped it up for the $1300.00 andy750 instead of flaming me for asking $500.00 more than i paid for it.

Gee...

 $1300.00 or even $1800.00... That's less than what I payed for my 'project bike' (my CB750 K4).  I would have gladly bought it from you (if the geography would have permitted).

 You'll get your asking price come springtime!  Good Luck!

Good eye on finding that bike. Low miles-original paint-mostly stock-that is where the good money and real action on these bikes are.Now get out there and find another  ;)
