I own a CB750 K7 from 1977, in great and original condition. I even have the 4 original pipe's on the bike. I can relate to your comment about interest of other people. Everywhere I stop, for a drink, tankstop or a smoke there are people coming up to me stating that once they own one or their father or their grandpa and they love the bike. A few years ago I thought about selling it, but newer bikes miss the character that this bike has, so I decided to keep it. Now I'm glad I did that. Lovely bike you have by the way.
I had a 74 CB750 in my early twenties he had a 8:36 wiseco kid in it and had been converted to electronic ignition some head work etc basically it was a street drag bike. I really miss that bike it sucked because the overhead valve models have a valve seat that is pressed in and isn't designed to be replaced and have a valve seat that is pressed in and isn't designed to be replaced easily, I ended up getting a 84 CB750 that I still have today along with a 2007 Suzuki intruder 1400, and an 82GS 550L 6 speed and the 750s the favorite hands down. The only problem with a CB is that it does everything SO well 😅
@@navscycles If Honda had just added fuel injection I would buy a brand new CB750-EFI today! Still a great bike with carbs, I had a 2002 NightHawk. The CB1100 was just too much displacement for me, and it had shims instead of hydraulic lifters.

Ah, how I miss that sound... Thanks for sharing!
Very distinct noise from the four cylinder Hondas that’s for sure.
Just went on a ride on my 76 all original one owner prior to me (my uncle) today it is awesome. I actually have 2 1976 cb750s each one owner
Love, this honest review of a great motorbike

yah the Honda CB line in general does everything very good
The later CB750s had DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder, hydraulic valve lifters, no kick starter, and more.
Yup. I also have one of those.
