Good to see this thread reserected. Great stories guys. Heck, in 1969 I was just going into the 10th grade with no money. I had my first ride on a Bridgestone the year before and was bitten by the cycle bug. So I landed a 1965 Honda S65 for $100 in 1969. Got me all over the place for about 50 cents a month for gas. Saw a few early 750's in this area, but they looked to hard for me to handle...plus, out of my price range. So I ended up with something in my price range...a new 1972 CB175 scrambler, then new CB450, then in 1977 I got my first new CB750K. And believe it or not I had to go to 2 different dealers to get on a list for that 77 bike. I don't know if it was the redesign of the 77 CB750K with the new tank, lines, etc. or what...but it took a few months before I could climb into that saddle. Now comparing that 77 to the KO & K1...they sure got doggy as they got newer.
