What the he11 is up with the cb 750's?

looking over craigslist, i found a nice deal on a 750, needs very little to run, and then i look on ebay for cb 750's and they're 5-7k!!! and theres lots of people bidding on them, what the heck? the one im looking at has 32K miles, alot mroe than the ones going for alot, but sheesh, if i get it i wonder if its worth turning into a bobber.. just wondering if anyone can tell me why they're going for so much? just look up cb 750, and they're going for alot..

 

These bikes are in demand and are a great chop project. Parts are getting too hard too find for them.

People are buying them up for parts and projects. I for one am looking for one too.

These bikes are a great piece of history when the first chopper was made you might think in the lines of harley but no, all the great builders started out chopping metrics and you guessed it the cb750 and xs650 were prime canidates for choppin.

If you get one let me know and ill direct you to some great info on building these pristine creatures.

Good luck on finding one although I hope I find one first.

The motor alone from one of these beast go for 500 bucks if they are in good condition.

Good luck

 

where do you live? im from michigan, the guy im talkin to only wants 350, but it doesnt run, it ran 6 months ago, dead battery is all he thinks, and theres a small dent in the tank, lol im trying to trade him some stuff for it. he wants it gone, so we'll see
btw, theres one for 13k rite now

 

Im from kansas! 350 is good price i would do a compression test. smell the oil, see if the motor turns over.

If it can be started its a steal @ 350.00. Man these bikes make beautiful chop projects and when they are tuned right they are beastial.

Im getting excited just talking about it.
The big thing, is the motor good if so man jump on it.

 

I sold this one for 3.5k

 

The Honda 750s are considered classics, collectors are also after them.
I have heard 72-76 all original mint condition bringing in over $6K
also the DOHC F series from 79-82 are bringing in big bucks on ebay.

Man that is cherry. I could have never sold that.

I think im startin to tear up.

Good stuff there

 

is a 81 midnight or something, how do i do a compression test? gosh you guys are getting me all excited, and i dont know what my parents will let me do

 

1983 nighthawk, with 32k miles, gasp, oh well, i love those dual mufflers on both sides, man if im dealing with something liek this, i may not bobber it, just restore it..

 

yeah i remember reading some where about the CB being the first bikes to be choppers but dunno on that......and schooter stop looking at more bikes supermoto that TE610 you will thank me later trust me :wink: thats the most fun you will ever have on two wheels and one alot of the time 8)

 

The CB750F's, CB900F's and CB1100F's are all fetching a good sum, but the CBX's get even pricier!
EBAY CBX

 

dude, no i hate my te610, its unreliable as hell, and if going to be a slime ball for selling it to some innocent dude, but whatever, i hate the thing

 

you mess with the valves more than you change the oil :lol: but when you get them going they are beast its about the only thing i have rode that didn't start with a Y that i enjoyed lol and did you keep the honda mufflers? they might come in handy if you buy a cb lol

 

true that, i heard online they have valve issues and timing chains shouldbe replaced yearly or something, im just not into dirtbikes, quads and roadbikes are my forte, but gosh, this is going to be a pain convincing my parents to let me get this so i have have 3 motorcycles, a 3 wheeler, and umm a truck and a car, most of them are junk, but oh well

 

Russ Collin's 3 motor monster......


When I was young and had to run to the old gas station to get gas for my MR50 there was always this guy behind the the station buzzing up and down the alley on a light blue CB750 sporting what was either a Russ Collins or early Kerker header. The sound that the CB750 produced was one of the most wicked things my 10 year old ears have ever heard!

If I had the money I would buy one and well you know the rest........

 

its a little trek from where u live and to the bike, and he wants 350, which means he'll take 300 no doubt, im trying to tell him a sob sotry about hwo its been my dream to restore it, see if he has any heart and will let me steal it from him

 

yeah you got it valve and timing chain my brother did valves weekly if not daily and chain 4 to 6 months i remember we went for a ride he was off work that day met him at his house on my wk450 he had just finished his valves it was a 3 hour ride round trip with a 30min stop to the mohawk dam and back to his house which has some wicked twistes on the way to and from we where pretty much even there stopped relaxed (30min) had a little trouble starting the TE not much though he seemed to lack on the way back the next day wouldn't start was already out of clearance lol

 

Dammit Wiz you do nice work.
