This bike is a must on that list!
It is not only very good looking, it is a winner!

It's owner and rider have certainly a big part in that! ;D

I'll second that, I love a good CB750 race bike! ;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?"

Unfortunately, THAT particular 750 was already nominated and won a few years back.  Slickwilli420's 750 AHRMA Superbike, however, is eligible.  Please "second" my nomination of it in the Nomination Thread:  http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,180400.0.html
