- My day with Honda CB 750 Four K2 from 1972. First owner here in on Gran Canaria with around 250 000 kilometers. I had the great honor to take a bike for a short trip and share the great sceneries with you.

Come riding to Canary Ride. It is the best place to ride a bike. This is my friend's motorcycle rental company: CanaryRide - bit.ly/canaryride - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I bought my cb750 brand new in 77, still have it, still ride it, still love it.
Sell it to me please please
This was my second bike 1971 CB 750 which I kept for ten years and rode for ~102,000 miles, never to open the engine other than change the valve cover gasket (brakes, chains, clutch cable, lights...) otherwise it was an unbelievable motorcycle that change the world of motorcycling forever. Mine did not have vibrations to speak of. The power and the beauty was unbelievable. I followed with a Kawasaki KZ-1000 with a Vetter fairing. I still ride but I have only have Hondas (ten of them actually, all classics). What a feat of engineering - and yes, I am an American and I did ride a brand new Harley for 6 months (1997) but was greatly disappointed and sold it after it spent most of its time at the shop - I went back to Hondas. Ciao, L
yeah,japaneese bikes are always great❤️🤘
40 years ago - my first Bike
Everything is perfect about this bike, one of the best, if not the best! The LOOK! The SOUND! The ENGINEERING!
Terry Richards I feel the exact same way about the CB750, I own the 1973 CB750 k3 and I will honestly say that I will never sell it, it is the perfect bike in every way...
cb 750 is the world's first superbike ❤️🤘
The new 1140cc big four is a masterpiece. Total blast to ride.
In 1979 I spent what was then a lot of money £600 on a black painted 2 UK owners UK Honda CB750. At twenty years old this was my only transport and it flew. It was so quick kept up with Z1s! When i read the first owner it was Honda Power Road London. I phoned them and found the bike had been a test mule and it was full of all the trick bits that came out over 6 years till 1976. Special pistons, cam, clutch, valves. After 80,000 mile of hard use (there didnt seemed to be ea rev limit ...ooops) it dropped a valve so we rebuilt it and repainted it in its candy red. Ive still got it now. What a machine. I now find its a K0 and one of the first in the UK so ill get my £600 back but Ill never sell it So many memories, truly an epic bike...its a keeper
I gave up my car in 2018 for my 91' CB750 Nighthawk, it's been my only mode of transport since and ride it everywhere. It's my wife, I mean life. I'll be keeping her forever and beyond!
I own a 82 CB650 and my dad owns a 79 CB750, amazing bikes! The CB series has that timeless look to it that I can’t get enough of
When I saw that bike it was love at first sight.
I totally agree with everything you have said about that CB750
Iconic machine!
I'm a fan of old Brit bikes, but I can hardly imagine the pleasure of owning the CB 750, especially at that time. Smooth, powerful, leak-free, reliable. Four carburetors! yet fewer problems than the Brit bikes' one or two carbs. It was a world-changer.
I had the 1978 CB750K.
One of my favorite motorcycles.
Honda did it right it was a success from day 1👌👌👌
Great riding on a lovely CB. When something is made with care and quality then it will last for long long time, & here is the proof , 50 years later Honda CB 750 still runs beautifully. Nice video .
I had one like this even the same colour. To find an original one today you would way more than what I paid for mine back in the early 7s0s. Maybe 6-7 times more I think. Sorry that I didn't keep it now after seeing this. Brings back a lot of good memories. All the best everyone and hopefully we can all keep on riding for many more years to come.
My uncle had a 2-stroke Vespa for every-day use, and a 750 CB for the weekends. I can't remember the exact model year but that round headlight and the cherry-red tank will forever be ingrained in my memory. I learned how to ride on the Vespa, but I was just too young to be allowed on the Honda...
Love, love, LOVE that quad exhaust
I own the 1978 model which was inherited to me from my father who put less than 10,000 km on it. The engine hasn’t turned since 1982. My goal is to rebuild the bike in the next few years. Great video documenting the history of this model.
Bike that change the industry! Couldn't agree with you more!
I remember there were a lot of gold and red ones around with 4 into 1 exhausts, oil coolers and steering dampers.
I had a 1970 K0 model (red) which was very reliable and fast. Regret selling it.
Fantastic scenery and bike. I didn't know how important this bike was, also that intro was awesome.
Thank you, I really appreciate it.
I Love the four exhausts. The bike is indeed beautiful, and in great condition. Sounds like a dream. Great video.
My dad's 76 K7 has been sitting in a garage for 10 years with a little bit of work needed. I may ask for the permission to have her and have someone put it back on the road someday as a second bike.
What a beautiful motorcycle,I also owned the 1976 model 400/4 supersport and a 1975 model 500/4 which I would say is still my favourite bike but it sadly met it's end when I was hit by a car. I have owned many bikes since those days and still ride a Honda today...Honda VT750 Shadow. Thank you for sharing with us.
Hello boss, I am an owner of a 75 cb400/4 as well, but it is in need of restoration and I have not driven it yet, I wanted to ask you which one was your favorite the 400/4 or the 500/4? Any if you can tell me why that would be great...
Fantastic video! Love those old, classy machines... and you presented it totally great!
That thing looked so smooth on the twisties, in its fifth decade of life! Really enjoying your work, mate. All the best for 2019.
I am waiting on a super clean 74 CB750 which was one of my first growing up as a kid and I have owned 6 of the SOHC750's.
It truly is unbelievable that your friends bike has clocked over 200,000 km, unbelievable! That right there shows that the Honda CB750 is truly "the motorcycle of the century"... 200,000 km! Damn! that's over 124,000 miles!!!!! Unreal!!!!
Some of my best memories were flying down the roads of Arizona on the CB750 catching air in this one certain spot. I guess I am retro also LOL cause that bike was almost new. Your favorite road looks very nice and curvy and I'm really liking the view. Thanks for the video and have a great Christmas.
Great vid, that's a lovely bike and spelt the end of the British bike industry in the 70s. The GC 200 is also one of the great biking roads of the world. It's a shame the whole of the old road is not now open after the rock fall as it's a really dramatic section.
That looks like a really beautiful road to ride 😍
The awesome Nighthawk cb750 comes from that bike. No wonder! Mighty CB750
Thanks for this wonderful Bike Video
Its been a while since ive seen blue skies sun and warmth! Maybe Santa will get me ticket to Gran Canaria.
I wish he does! Thanks for the comment.
I had the 400 4 and always lusted after the 750. Great video. I enjoyed a lot.
The 400 came after the 350 , is it the same engine with 50cc more ?
@@oceanhome2023 actually yeah brother that CB 400/4 and the cb350/4 have the same crank cases, so I've read, and they are very similar in pretty much every way meaning that they are like 85 90% parts interchangeable between the two, and the CB 400/4 is actually a 408 CC motor, it will have the 408 stamp in the front of the cylinder pretty much like all CB's
Great bike in beautiful island I am from morocco I am thinking of buying a jp classic bike to travel with it everywhere
As good as always, mate! Have a nice time and keep making these reviews!
Thanks Oskar. Sometimes my motivation goes down but positive words helps, so I'll keep going :))
JF Motorcycles this one of my favourites channels, honest reviews and interesting thoughts. Keep enjoying!
Beautiful machine :) and a great video
And of course I absolutely love the CB750, I own a 73 750 k3, and I am really kicking myself in the ass right now because I could have actually purchased a 71 750 k1 with 46k miles for $1,800 in non running condition, I have been thinking about that bike ever since, I really regret not buying it also, but I will keep looking and I will find another one very similar, but it must be older than my k3 I already own...
How lucky we are to own a k0 which my father bought in 1970.. I never knew before i get interestet into it.. Shame on me..
Very good bike
Amazing piece of art!
Thanks mate! I am glad you like it.
Breathtaking views!
I had a 750 super sport in the early 80s loved it and wish I saved it.
fantastic 👍👍👌👌👌
Amazing bike and great video. :)
wow....vintage!
The CB750K did not have electronic ignition, as you keep saying. It had an electric start (as well as kickstart). You can add electronic ignition with any number of aftermarket systems like Dyna and Pamco.
I bought a new one same colour as that one I think it cost me £800 taxed and insured I had it on hire purchase payments each month and the lady in the motorcycle shop said god it's like taking on a mortgage isn't it you could buy a house for £2000 then.
I have an 82!
Only 69-78 are sohc and are considered classics the 82's are dohc and are much less desirable.
Great bike. Those don't look like the stock handlebars. I have a 1975 CB750. My RMPs don't jump up that fast, the way yours do. I have a trouble getting anywhere near redline for some reason. Gran Canaria looks beautiful.
I have a 1975 too and it revs quick. I would check your carbaration.
Hello brother I wanted to ask you if you would do a similar video on your Honda cb400/4, you don't really see too many videos like that on the 400/4, I think that would make for a really good video...
Yes I would like to know how many differences are there between the 2 engines
Universal Japanese Motorcycle at it's best from Honda.
Thought this was a home depot commercial for a minute
I almost bought one of these cb750s in the past. It looked gorgeous, but it didn't run....too bad that i'm not a bike mechanic... What is this retro style gloves that you are using in this video? Which bike do you own now? (you sad hondas, i saw an old kawa too)
Sehr schönes Bike🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
So amazing to see that old grandpa CB running like that :D What a great bike. Sorry you had to get stuck behind that damn bus....that's the way to ruin a good ride >:-|
Nobody ever talks about the CB750E. It's always about the k models.
Does anybody know the difference.?
The only thing I know is I had mine built to 836cc With three quarter race cam. 140mph, No reliability issues. They can be built to 1,000cc For drag strip.
50yrs riding, Age.67.
Same model and colour i bought new . Big mistake selling it (70s)
I feel sad for you..
If we could have this bike back 2019
I bought a 75 for 750 bucks in 1987. It had chrome chain guard and instrument s. Kept it till 2007 had to sell it for only 1600 bucks. Felt like a fool but needed the money. Was all original cept i had to put a new right side exhaust system due to rust out. Still ran like a bat. More hp than my 2005 Triumph Bonneville 865. Crazy huh. Makes you realize the Japanese aren't fooling around. Now I couldn't afford one,,,ha.🙄
I wish I could afford one! as they are very expensive these days ☹️
Hey Mike keep looking brother, if you really want one you can find one for a decent price, but yes they are going up very high in price and everyday, these kind of motorcycles do not depreciate in value, only increase, I got very very lucky when I found my 73 for $600, of course it was not in running condition but I took care of that very quickly
The CB750 is a historic bike, but it is not the bike which changed the industry any more than the Honda C50, the Suzuki GT750 or Kawasaki Z1.
I have had 1977 SS Like New since 80s 15.000 miles on both of them and just recently bought NOS 1978 SS touring
and just transfer it to super bike factory Look all Original Nos Honda parts during transfer and some cosmetic factory upgrade to perfection brand new seat from hump tour package to flat w/strap stitching and Chrome all OG late 70s early 80s Brand New NOS Kerker muffler with sound that goes right to 💙 Nothing can touch this, state art tires best money can buy for stability cornering handle with slick lower profile sidewalls that Mach front angle and OG stock SS front like new tires and still have Rear as well not for sale 😂 and amazing factory Paint with every nut bolt Honda its Ready for all time 1st place winner very soon at Rally Cruising convoy CB750 And triumph coming up my uncle had your model nos in 1975 4 into 1- 4 pipes And ride like champ powerful great handling not as good as mine I have all bills whistle in that year since Honda ad lot changes to make it to handle and look much slick and sporty with bigger valves pistons ports and Carburetor added performance and up garage to transmission clutches precision shifting and beautify done Anodized and powdered coat alloy wheels with fantastic appearance that is hard not to Ride and or take your eyes of it its machine of life time LEGEND 👑🌟
bent u van België?
I had the same color but a year late.. I'm surprised there is still one some millennial or gen-z hasn't made in to a fake cafe or chopper bike..
these bikes were indestructible, you could pour sand in the motor and they would still run.....
How can I buy this bike ?
Are you in the US?
9 liters fuel tank? How's this possible? CG 125 has a 11 liters tank and it doesn't look larger than the tank on the CB 750 you're showing up.
*19 liters
please tell everyone about your 70s and 80s bikes from the FS1E to the bored z1300 honey.
tsk ok i wont. i regret selling the Z650 B1 single disc twin caliper. but will never sell the 78 550/4 supersport single disc slave caliper rubbish brake. honda made good bikes kawasaki made great bikes. suzuki made kettles my GT380 three sets of points atomises oil goes like like a stabbed rat. its in a barn next to an Ossa 250 phantom. i had a brown k7 the 750 four was always behind the market.
any 70s classic on the roads is a great bike.
i'm procrastinating
Enough with the music! I just want to hear the bike!
please tandem with me ❤
My nighthawk cafe racer looks better tho💁♂️
Nice bike but redlining that old girl isn't that cool. Particularly as it's someone else's.
Hi Jay, thanks. I believe me and my friend are absolutely ok with it. :)
The bike has over 200k and is over 40 years old and a Honda .....what do you think is gonna happen?
@@RealOrbit-Australia It's called respect for our elders
Excellent bike I have a 76 p 4004 reliable but always problem with front disc caliper sticky any help appreciate
