MiCarl Posted February 8, 2014 Share #5 Posted February 8, 2014 I can remember when I was a kid and we'd go to the dealer for odds and ends for our dirt bikes. We'd drool over those. 750cc was insane and the cool older guys had them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonslayer Posted February 9, 2014 Share #8 Posted February 9, 2014 I had one of those back in high school. In fact that was the bike I crashed on at a combined impact of 150 mph. What was left of it fit in 3 paper grocery sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh3 Posted February 9, 2014 Share #10 Posted February 9, 2014 My brother had one the exact same color.He still had it when he passed away. My mom was allways sooo owrried he was going to hurt or killed on it. Turns out he hit the back end of an illegaly parked steel truck in Detriot on the corner he was a school patrol on. Those bikes were the king for a long long time and still do well in my book. Low maintenance. Easy to adjust the valves (unlike some certian Yanmaha models).

GeorgeS Posted February 9, 2014 Share #12 Posted February 9, 2014 Saw one at a motorcycle salvage dealer, here in seattle last year, pretty rusty, and ratty. But it was running, and it was all there. !! Thinking back at about $1500 to buy it, and maby 10K To restore it??? I have to wonder as to the Sanity of the guy bidding 130K for this one. There is a guy in my area, who has one, and still rides it regularly. I see him now and then around here on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star4772 Posted February 10, 2014 Share #14 Posted February 10, 2014 I bet that one of those bidders are possibly one of the Honda executives and there going to try and get it back for a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted February 10, 2014 Share #15 Posted February 10, 2014 LOL windjammer fairings. Man they were the bomb. Back in them days nobody made a "touring" bike with a fairing except HD and I think BMW. Everything else was piece it together. But they were a nice faring. I had 2 on different bikes and a Pacifica on a GS1000 and a Custom Dresseres on the same GS. I really liked the frame mounted ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob66 Posted February 12, 2014 Share #18 Posted February 12, 2014 I thinks it is very very cool. Anything that rare is going to fetch a high price. The very first bike I was on was one of these. It was a brand new bright Orange and Black Honda CB750, either a 1970 or '71. I was 5. That thing was a rocket ship as far as I was concerned. That single moment is what got me hooked on motorcycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pofarm Posted February 17, 2014 Share #19 Posted February 17, 2014 I had a blue 1975 model. It was fully dressed with a Vetter fairing, saddle bags and rear trunk. It also had a custom king/queen seat. The oil galley to the cam plugged up and fried the cam and cam cradles. I parted it out on ebay for more than I had in it.

cabreco Posted February 18, 2014 Share #21 Posted February 18, 2014 The CB750 is a fast bike, I still have mine although not a pricey "prototype". No matter what else I ride I will never give up Fiona!~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
