The Lone Builder (Sean Drysdale) is on his journey aboard his CB 750 from Zimbabwe to Belfast Northern Ireland. I’ve been following his journey, great read.
Those of us in paved road land take a lot for granted.

I've been following along as well with great interest. I admire anyone that would ride an old 45ish year old bike through these conditions. I hope he makes it to NI, a long road ahead.

He’s found that the old tech handles a variety of fuel qualities well.

What an adventure!! I did not realize that he planned that long trip. I thought it was locally around Africa which must be an adventure enough.

The CB750 will work fine. Stock compression can handle low octane fuel. If pinging, turn the point plate a little clockwise. If grooves are not long enough open the point gaps a little. Points can be repaired too if broken.
I got one broken in France once, a shop used another point part and put it together. It was the moving part with bakelite shoe against cam.
Oil, fuel and let it run min 5000 rpm to ensure charging.

I guess wild animals and uncivilized persons are to watch out for
