Hello there

My name is Hardi and I live in the wonderful Old Town of Lueneburg. I drive motorcycle since 1984 and by my predilection to vintage bikes I started with a 250cc DKW making the area unsafe. There followed a CB 750 K of the 1981 which I used everyday. Then I have decided on detours about Harley, BMW, triumph, Norton, BSA and other various brands, in April, 2004 again on Honda.
I had sold just a few motorcycles from my triumph collection. My choice fell on a 1972 CB 750 K2 which on the first sight still looked well. I went with it a season, however, I was not contented with the achievement. The Honda used meanwhile 1.2 litres of oil on 1000 km and ran in the last way only 150 km / h. I decided to let overtake the engine. With the removal I found out that the frame was not also any more in the best constitution.
I decided to restore the machine completely. After only 4 months the K2 stood in all her splendour again before me. Pictures from the restoration on http://fotoalbum.web.de/gast/t100c/Honda_CB_750_K2

As you have already noted certainly, my predilection is valid for the old models SOHC of Honda. Fans of the CB Four should check once on the homepage of the 1st Honda CB 750 Four club inc. Germany. http://www.cbfourclub.de

Regards - Hardi

Here you see my K2

Welcome. Looks like you put a good deal of time and effort into your K2 restoration, nice work!

I think the last pic link to your K2 you listed requires access to an account to view.

Excellent work Hardi and that is one good looking K2! You engine is super-clean! Did you use stock pistons in the rebuild?

Very impressive

Hallo Hardi!

Nice to see you here again.
I´ve checked in a few days ago.
They have on this forum loads of loads nice stuff all around.
I think its a little bit more interesting than our german forum ;),
especially the HP&R board.
I wish you a great deal of fun searching here around.

Regards, ;)

Nice to meet you here, too.
