View Full Version : My new ride
Well, I just bought a little winter project for myself. It's a Honda, It's a 4 cyl, and it's RWD. :D It needs a little work, but I picked it up for a song. With a little Can-Do attitude it should be ready for spring.
It was kind of an impulse buy, but if I wouldn't have snatched it up right away, it probably would have been gone within a few hours. I'll have some pictures after I pick it up sometime this week. :D
Oops, I forgot to mention what I bought. It's a 1981 Honda CB750. :D

Get use some pics of the rear drivetrain, too. I think it would be cool to see.

Good luck man!

Nice! Sounds awesome! Post up some pics when you get a chance!
Here's the ebay pics. The first thing that's coming off when I get home is the front fairing, I think it looks hideous. Then I'm taking off the backrest and luggage rack. That should clean it up quite a bit.
This bike should be pretty good for getting around town and saving gas on everyday trips. Long term, I'd like to find an old '74-'76 Suzuki RE5 and restore it. Those things have a 500cc (or 1000cc depending on how you count the displacement) rotary engine in it. They sound bad ass, and talk about having an rare classic. That's probably a few years off though, unless I find a good deal on one.
Anyway, here's the pics.

This is a different bike, but it's the same year and color without the fairing and luggage rack. That's what it will look like when I get it home.

Bikes are fun but I need to get rid of my F4 since I don't really have time to ride it.

There was an old one next door to my old house that I thought would be fun to restore. That seventies look was pretty cool, although I would've had to put a decent size tire on the rear. They were tiny back then.

My grandpa has 3 of them... 2 - 75's and a 76 I believe. They are cool bikes. He also has a 1941 indian all original with sidecar, a couple 82 CBX's w/ inline 6 cyl engines, a Turbo Honda 650 and a Turbo Yamaha 550.
I was born into a family that loves motorcycles.
My dad also has a Honda 900 custom. Looks pretty damn identical to your bike. Nice find!
