No other bike in history ever had the impact and changed the landscape the way the 1969 Honda CB750k. My brother took me for rides on his when I was 3 and 4 years old. I bought a 1973 for an amazing price and I love it.
I ride a ‘93 Honda Shadow VLX600 and I’m eyeing a project ‘73 CB750. I don’t know a thing about these so your videos are a godsend! I appreciate the details you provide and I can tell you’re very passionate about them! I can’t wait to get one
I had a Mini-trail when the CB750 was introduced and fondly remember seeing them in the dealers showroom. I always wanted one but with not being licensed till 1972, initially priced above my teenage finances (I suffered with a very nice lightly used inexpensive 1971 Kawasaki Mach III), and Suzuki's release of the 1977 GS750 (my first new bike!) I never owned a K series CB750. No regrets since similar UJM's continued to be sold for many years and I got to experience 2-cycle road bike ownership!
The Suzuki 750 from 77 is a bike I’d really like to add to my collection. Along with a kawi 2 stroke of some kind but those 2 strokes now are so expensive.
@@navscycles My "77" GS750 was beautiful and very reliable but also gutless below 5000rpm as it was tuned for maximum HP which resulted in a bike that wasn't very exciting to ride unless you pinned the throttle. The following 4 valve motors had a much better power spread but for either one of those I consider the GS1000 or GS1100 far better bikes from a riders standpoint than the smaller 750 versions. If I were going to look for a Suzuki GS from this general era I'd look for one of the rollerbearing crank/chain drive 650's from the early 80's. Along with be at least 60lbs lighter than any of the other bikes I mentioned they had similar max HP to the 750's but their motors were ready to go torque wise @ 3000rpm that gave them a MT07 like powerband and a more rewarding rider experience.
Hey thank you for watching! Best place to find a cb750 is Facebook marketplace or cragslist if you want to find an affordable one. I’d also consider selling my super sport if you lived near Wisconsin.
Thanks for your prompt reply and m for the possible offer to buy your bike. Unfortunately I don’t luve in the USA. I was hoping to buy a K series and get it imported to Europe.
@@navscycles it’s probably the same if you factor in the cost of importing, but there isn’t that many around. It’s a smaller country and I don’t think they embraced the bike as much as the USA. I think it’s because it buried the native motorcycle industry and the British people were probably biased against it ;-)

That seems like such a fun bike to ride. I am starting to think that I need to get a classic motorcycle for myself.

thank you for watching. I made a video about things you should know if you haven’t watched it I shed more lights on things to look for.

I have the 2013 cb 1100 and its amaizing
I actually would really like to ride/ own one of those in the near future.
Hi Nav, love your videos on the CB750. Can you recommend a good website where one can purchase a CB750 in the USA? Thank you

It’s probably cheaper to buy a k model in the uk than importing one, no?

Also, do you have an instagram account?
Vmax will be iconic
Off topic. But I think it already is. A bike I’d love to experience.
How's the fuel efficient on this ?
Not the most. It’s rated 30-40mpgs
