Norfolk, VA, new 78 CB750F2 owner
« on: November 01, 2011, 07:38:55 AM »
Hi there, just started riding this year - have a 2002 Buell Blast that I rode throughout the summer (and will keep as my commuter with it's reliable 65mpg) - just got a 78 CB750 Supersport that I have to go pick up in PA in a couple weeks...  Can't wait to ride it with my girlfriend on her 76 CB750 Supersport!

I see there seem to be quite a few riders on this forum in the Hampton Roads area - would be awesome to get together with other CB/classic bike riders and go riding!

Sweet! Another SOHC rider in HR! I just started riding in Sept and purchased a '75 CB400f last month. It's undergoing a light restoration up in NY right now but should be up and ready in the spring. I hope to see you around.

Well we finally got the bike delivered yesterday - here's a photo of it next to the other CB750F (1976)



Damn thing won't start without starter fluid, seems carbs need cleaning... Also rear break might be seized.  Seller is refunding some of purchase price so i'm not totally upset...

Will be posting more photos when i get it on the road and we start customization!

Welcome, always good to see another F on the road somewhere.
That which does not kill you leaves cool scabs which turn into awesome scars.

'77 CB750F Come on...were almost there!
