I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

That's a K0 sandpit. They tried to penetrate the Dutch market. Was not much of an success. Can we recommend a book by David Byrne (Talking Heads) about biking here? Yes, we can!

It really is amazing to me what an impact the mighty CB750 had on the world when it was released, there were all sorts of CB750 models, posters, aftermarket gear, toys, clothing, touring accessories, helmets, racing equipment, stickers etc etc, I can't think of any other bike in my life except perhaps Harley Davidson, that has had the same effect on our collective psyche. 40 years since seeing my first one, and 32 years since buying a shiny new CB750, I still love 'em! ;D

my buddies had cb750's and i had a triumph and then i bought a new cb750 traded my bonnie in and that was Aug 71 and have had one or two ever since except for two years when i  1987-89.. They sure changed my world.. somewhere i have an article where they have used a Honda cb750 in a repo of the Wright bros airplane i  will post it when i find it. Tom

Thanks Tom, I'd be interested in seeing that. I think I've just worked out why I often despair at younger members who tend to (in my tiny mind) "Diss" this iconic marque by way of horrible mods like upside down forks and electronic fuel injection etc to try to turn them into the modern bikes that they really want but can't afford, due to the fact that they weren't there back in 1969 to see, and be part of this incredible revolution, they don't value them like we "old farts" do.

I wasn't old enough to own one until 1978 (although I was lucky enough to have a several older friends who were happy to let a kid ride on the back of theirs) but I was smitten with them from the first time I laid eyes on one. Don't get me wrong, I like all bikes, and over the last 32 years I've owned several BMW's, a Ducati, a Harley, a Laverda, a Kawasaki and a Yamaha, and I've got a Triumph Rocket III and 3 Suzuki GS1000's in my garage presently, but none of them have affected me like the mighty CB750. I seriously doubt if any other motorcycle in the future, will have the same impact on the world as the original "fat four".  ;D

Coolest

ever!!   :D :o

The attention to detail is actually rather impressive.

I imagine they would be quite rare in any condition now.
