How many CBs do you own?
« on: September 25, 2010, 10:47:14 PM »
How common is it of us CB owners to own multiple bikes? I see in a lot of people's signatures, they seem to own more than one...just wanted to get a sense of that from some of the others here.

I currently own:

1974 Honda cb 750
1975 Honda cb 400f
1978 Honda cb 550K

However, the kicker is that I now find these bikes so incredibly awesome, that I want to buy more...!

    Well, of the "running ones", I have 3 (only 1 SOHC4 though) the '80 CBX, the '80 CB750K & the '80 CB650C.

    Then, I have several ((of various states of being complete, or not)  ranging from the CB77 (305) Super Hawk to the '79 CB750K

     But, I figure that by "CB", you are most likely talking "SOHC4"s and of those I have only 1 running (that being the '80 CB650C) (w/ examples desperately needing parts and work, being a CB750A, a CB650C, 2- CB550Ks, a CB500K, & a CB400F

 Only one, my first so far, but I've already been thinking about adding a 550 and another 750 to my collection. Now the real problem is convincing my wife that I need more bikes in our garage Any suggestions?

Just one right now, my 1976 CB750 K6 in Candy Antares Red, but I would love to add...

1) 1974 CB750 K4 in Flake Sunrise Orange
2) 1975 CB750 K5 in Planet Blue Metallic
3) 1975 CB750 F0 in Candy Sapphire Blue
4) 1975 CB550 K1 in Candy Jade Green

Now, if I could only convince my wife to untie the purse strings and support my scheme... ;D ;D

Just two for me.
1 X '73 CB350/F (currently running)
1 X '75 CB400F (Currently in rebuild/ restore stage)
Will be adding a CB500/F and CB 750/4 K model as soon as I have finished the 400 restore.

Somewhere in the neighbourhood of 15 or so. They are from K1s to K7s and F1s to F3s. No sandcasts. They've been dismantled and stored awaiting restoration. I have 4 currently underway in restoration mode, but have taken a bit of a break from restorations to play with the 1979 - 1983 DOHC versions. I don't have much affinity with the DOHCs like the SOHCs, so to deviate from stock doesn't bother me much at all. I guess I got a bit fatigued from chasing the proper pieces for each of the years. The SOHC 750 has got to be one of a handful of bikes that looked pretty much the same year to year but was constantly changing.

I would say I have two, but since this IS an SOHC4 forum, I have 1 1/4.

My 78 750K which I love and cherish so dearly, and my dad's '71 (I think) CB100. Such a fun little bike, it's the one I grew up riding. Unfortunately it hasn't run in several years and is sitting in a barn at my ranch, just waiting for the day that I muster my lazy butt up and go pick save it from motorcycle purgatory. Which should actually be very soon, I will keep you all updated in the Other Bikes forum

A 1971 CB750 I bought new, a 1971 Cb750 built from scratch and a 12/69 Cb750 with a sandcast engine. I have the correct die cast engine for it. Enough spares to built another early one.
