An old biker dude i talk bikes with all the time at the bar gave me this complete bike today.
Hes supercool and just handed it over to me with the title and the keys-says he got it from a guy who couldnt pay cash for a card game debt to him.   all it needs is a coil, the tank  repaired/replaced(rust holes), and of course tires, battery, etc from the 15 years it sat.
my plan is is to get it reliable and put it back to an original stock honda form.

sorry for the pics being so stupid, but you can tell how happy my buddy and i are getting this  ;D

Is is an "F" motor too?  Super cool if so!  A friend gave me an old "F" bike last year (not as nice as yours), but it had a "K" motor...

Nice "find"

Nice save! The 75F0 and 76F1 are identical and though they do have some differences with the K bikes they are just as reliable and have no mechanical issues.  They have a bit more power, better brakes, and a bit better handling due to a revised frame geometry.

You lucky bastard....what a gift.....
title and keys - go and buy a lottery ticket - you will surely win..

If you clean it up and it goes  - you have a fine project
looks like it is all there - is the left hand side cover on it as well?

more pictures please - none of your smiley faces though...lol

Earlier 75 as witnessed by the rear master cylinder with the nylon cup. 75's have engine serial numbers beginning with CB750E-2500002 and up to CB750E-2515054. 75 is a good year for F's.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)
