    It is a stunning Honda. How can I forget this bike and what an icon. I’m 66 now so yah, nostalgia and memories. Very common in NZ back in the day.

    Late 70s i had a brown k2, still rember the happy memories of that bike. It was one of those bikes that you wish you'd never sold.

    Brings back memories. My dad bought the same candy garnet brown '71 CB 750 new in the same year. I was 13 yrs. old. I used to sit in the garage and wax the tank and polish those 4 chrome mufflers. I still believe this is the most beautiful motorcycle ever built. I have only one surviving photo left. I do have the original service manual though. Unfortunately 6 months after, he was in an accident and didn't survive. I have 4 bikes now and ride as much as I can. Enjoyed seeing one again.

      Morning Trusty, glad it brought back some good memories , very sad ending though 😢 it's also nice to hear that you remember the colour, as I mentioned in the video this was my dream bike but never remember seeing one in candy garnet brown! Ride safe buddy 🙏

      @daveco1270 It's great to hear that you use it as a daily rider! I'm looking for information about it to learn more if it is possible to be daily ridden? Is it really comfortable? Is it fast enough? Is it good for towns? I live in a climate where it is not too hot, busy roads but yet theres no support for old Hondas. Can you tell me more about your bike? Thanks!

    I had a '72 750 but a darker brown almost looked black at night. '72 was the last year before catalytic exhaust went from 72hp to 55hp. Had to sell it when I was in the Navy. Wish I could have figured a way to keep it.

    That CB 750 IS A lovely looking bike and I wouldn't say no. However my mechanic skills are not the best and that usually makes me back away from owning a classic. That's why I like the retro bikes for their reliability etc. A retro bike I do like is the Honda CB 1100 and that bike might suit you. What's your opinion. A Honda CB 1100 in your garage. 😉 regards Carl.

      @2wheeledwillie395  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Carl .....Funnily enough I've been very close on a few occasions to buying a CB1100..the main issue we're the footpeg location, they felt quite high for a big naked bike..I really love the look of them though

    • @jwandc3
      @jwandc3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm 6'5 with a creaky body and the CB1100 is pretty comfy. I've done long rides without the peg height being an issue. Absolutely love it.
