It's a flippin' Yammy colored dirtbike!  OMGosh.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Gee Sam, looks like we need to open a new section in SOHC4.... :)

Had no idea 750's were so successful as chair pullers!

Was given a ride as passenger on a Yamaha V-Twin 1000 Enduro outfit once. The word fun is not the first thing that comes to mind,  it was actually extremely hard to hold on to it over the bumps, and i was in VERY good shape a the time.

Quite a contraption.

Angry Wasps.

  You wana talk motorcycle sidehack racing,  here's some video's of Inland Motor Speedway here in San Bernardino Calif. where i live.
   Every friday night they have regular speedway bikes, all class'es and 1,000 cc's  sidecar's, some even run NITROUS !!  
   IMS SPEEDWAY was really big in the late 70's to mid 80's.  It just started back up a couple of years ago. A real kick in the A$$ !!!

           http://www.speedwaybikes.com/tracks/SanBernardino.htm

         
           
    They run KAWI'S, SUZUKI'S, and HONDA'S .

Our 836 race motor is going in a slidey, but over the tarmac not the shale!

The bikes look similar to what we where running in the 1980"s down here.
