CB750K in Aichi prefecture,Japan
« on: January 23, 2011, 02:13:02 AM »
Hi Guys,

I have found restored CB750K as below.
Those riders age were middle of twenty,not senior riders.
Handles are pull back style. Is it strange?
Among young CB750K riders,it is popular.
How do you think their sense?

I like it. Looks more comfortable than Ape Hanger bars.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

I used to have bars like that and they are very comfortable. However above 70 mph they get a little uncomfortable as the wind is pushing you back a lot due to the upright position.

Thanks for posting

Nice restorations.
Most of the people I meet on old Honda cb750's are middle aged. 30-40.

The bars look similar to the K7-8.

I do think it is strange, as the rest of the bike appears to be restored back to original. Guess they like that riding position better and think it looks "cool"?

Hello everyone,

We often see CB750K ridden by young men.
Their CB750K were painted like following paint house who locates Ichinomiya-city of Aichi prefecture.
http://www.loose-company.com/gallery_cb750k.html
Those tanks are painted with Flakes. I do not like those paint for CB750K,I prefer to OLDSYTLE's paint.
How do you think?

Ive never been to Japan.I prefer "Oldstyle" but I bet it turns heads there! If I saw that fly by from the street I would chase him down just to see his parts bikes.

G'Day Ito, those bikes look great mate, I see on You Tube a heap of clips of young Japanese guys on CB750's, with plenty of K0's as well, and they're not afraid to customise them, tastefully. I love those flake paint jobs too, looks much nicer than matt black or truck bed liner..........  ;D

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?"

   Nice looking bikes though I don't care for that style of handlebar myself. To me they aren't conducive to a comfortable or handling ride.

Hi switchum,
Yes. It is "BOSOZOKU" version.  But I can not translate Japanese "BOSOZOKU" to English.
Is it hell's angels or wild riders?  Is it No need to translate?
They drive like a fly all day.  n :D
