I have a K5 and I have been collecting parts for it for several years so I can do a restoration, which I want to start this year. I still ride it at present and they do sound really good.
My God!!!I never get the goose bumps from bikes now a days like those i get from observing these absolute works of art that the perfectionists Japanese create at will when they made these lovely machines with full valued form and function in a sexy esthetic design very easy on the eyes too!!!You know, i don't see how everyone that could afford one of these back in the days when you could grab a brand new Honda CB750 for around $2600. I guess folks were too scared of the dangerous look of power?
My uncle bought one brand spankin' new in '71. He used to take me for rides on it all the time, when I was old enough, I rode it. Now that my uncle has passed, the bike went to me. I plan on doing a full restoration from the ground up to make it look just as beautiful as it did rolling off the showroom floor in 1971.
Nope. 90's and early 00's from Honda are the best (Honda NTV/Hawke, Africa Twin, Trans Alp, Deauville...). The old ones from the 80's and especially 70's have horrible suspensions, weak frames, bad tire combinations and the engines were not yet sophisticated like on later models. The bikes from the 70's are good for collectors but I would much like prefer an NTV/Hawke or something like that to ride around. /watch?v=eG1DAa7uN9Q
@@2lbsTrigrPull all new bikes look the same these days. 70s bikes had character and individuality. And you had to ride them not like todays bikes. So sorry, but 70s bikes rule!!
@@2lbsTrigrPull I agree with the other 2 comments. The 70's bikes rule. If not for the very bike in this video, your coveted 90's bikes would not have been what they were. The Honda CB750 set all the rules for the time that others needed to comply with or get left behind. That in turn set the path moving forward.
Loved it , bought it new , had it for 8 years , hard riding, they where verry realiable and fast at the time . no other bike sounded like it eather . Anybobdy that had one would love to get an other one .
Bought one, rode it, loved it, moved to the other side of the world, so had to sell it along with 4 Bonnevilles. I miss them all, and click on anything "CB 750" here on YT
Ciao ho capito un po 'italiano. Grazie per i complimenti. Ho fatto un restauro completo su questa moto. Gli emblemi sono diversi e sono stati montati invertiti. Un amico anche notato l'errore e ho corretto. Sono brasiliano, ma mio nonno era italiano. Ho scritto questo testo con l'aiuto del traduttore di google.
There is something thrashing in that motor. Either the carbs aren't sync'd, the cam chain tensioner needs adjusting, or the valve clearances need to be adjusted. I know, I used to assemble, and wrench on these when they were new. To much noise from that motor. Also, when you let off the throttle on these, after you have just twisted the throttle open, they lose rpms much faster. That tach needle should drop to 800-1,000rpm immediately after closing the throttle. Beautiful bike........
For sure it was missing a precise tune up, I did a frame off restoration on it, did not touch the engine as I could not find the correct technician to do it; carbs I sent to a guy who rebuilt them for me. I sold it back in 2012 as it is. Thanks for the compliment, it came out very nice.
Stupendo, Magnifico. Scuzi,.. de sidecovero badgea isa wrongo ways aroundi. Dey are a Left hand and right hand, you gots a 2 right hando. Preggo, gratzi. My Italiano, shes a not too good.
Thanks for the compliments. I got this bike back in 2008 with 3000 original miles and stock tires; couldn't do anything but bring it back to mint condition.
@@mvalente27 Most sorry. My comment was a friendly 'dig' at the throaty roar of the exhaust that you've captured so nostalgically. In the early years that I had a Four- 1975 onwards, that's what many of my friends did: rather than remove the baffles for that perceived extra boost of power (helped the engine breathe, right?) but which made the tail end look awful and often drew inquisitive inspections of the state (Victoria, Australia) constabulary, they simply drilled a series of holes within the baffles' ribbing. Retained the 'legal' look but provided the tough-sounding grunt. A few CZcams videos show Fours minus the baffles. Funny how by the mid 1990s onwards, those previously turfed baffles were now a 'must have' to finish off a restoration.
@@andreasmakarewitsch1978 Now I got it, don't worry. Very interesting what they did back in the day to get some extra power and a unique sound. Thanks for the compliments and explanation on how was having a CB 750 in Australia.
Beautiful work. But you have put the sidecover "wing" emblems around the wrong way!! The front of the wing points to the front of the bike, not the rear like you have it. please alter to correct way, then 100% perfect.
Think of the wing as a bird flying, and how a bird's wing bends to the rear......Your "Birds" are flying backwards, not forward as they should........Hope this helps.
@@andreasmakarewitsch1978 Perhaps they ran out of RHS badges, and used 2 LHS ones on your bike?. Though the Japanese are fairly particular.The badges are LHS and RHS, 2 different ones. My observation on this bike, is that they used the correct badges, a LHS and RHS, but installed them the wrong way around, they are therefore pointing backwards. When Honda used the wing on tank badges in the 60s, they Always pointed to the front, like a flying bird. (I have a mint 63 C92, they still point forward). I doubt the Japanese would have put the badges the wrong way at the factory....but perhaps it happened rarely, and was not picked up at the quality control point.?? .
@@kramrollin69 Hey thanks Zagar E. I learnt something. That simply means that I have a factory-original flaw of a cover! Yay, a rarity, up goes the value of the bike- by 2.2%!
@@andreasmakarewitsch1978 No, at least 50%....one of only a few made ;). Now, if only it has the JDM 80kph warning light between the gauges....like my mint K1, the skys the limit. ;).
Seen a few original and restored, this is the best iv ever seen, bought one new in 1973, great experience
Had an identical bike except for color ... mine was dark green. Marvelous machine!
I had a 72-750 Great Bike !
This is exactly the color and year of my 1st bike.... Beautiful condition....

God in action
Dry sunny days only ,try cleaning all that chrome after a wet ride lol got the shirt beautiful bike 👍👏👌🌈✌️☝️

coś pięknego :)
Awesome ride
Parabéns ! Só falta o 4 em 1 pra gente esmerilhar... trocando os pneus antes, pra não estourar a 130mph. Esses aí 39 anos depois estão ressecados
When I raced Nortons and Tridents, I warned them....1st gear 60, 2nd gear 90, 3rd gear 110, I won't need 4th or 5th to Wup You!!
Looks just like the 72 I bought brand new in Japan for $1300.00
Lucky I paid my new 71 $2100 here in Québec Ca....LOL
Lovely 👍🏻
its a DREAM !
I have got one of those Yea r models!

Just a dream
Do you ever ride it? What good is it if it just stays in the driveway?
nice
Are those original tires? I've been trying to find out what the orifices looked like so I can try to find some.
Yes they are. When I did the restoration I decided to keep them in the bike, not safe for long rides but it was not the case here.
@@mvalente27 sorry, j meant to say "originals". Thanks for your reply, I now know what took for.

magnifiques c'est la plus belle des 750 CB
is this bike for sale? tks, brian-fla
It’s looks new
I think owner kept it in the room beside a bed all those years. I would too ...
I did a frame restoration on it, it took me almost 3 years and I think it came out nice, all the hard work was worth it.
The baffles have been drilled, surely?
Baffles are all brand new ordered directly from Honda, what do you mean by "been drilled"?
