This is great...although it is a philosophical tale merely using motorcycles as fodder for his viewpoint. I can't wait to get my 1980 CB750F running again, waiting on parts, will be a few weeks still !
It's so true. My mother's getting a little too old to drive so I chauffeur her around in her car. It's like I'm sitting in front of the TV. There's a complete disconnect from the road and where you are. After I drop her off, I usually zip home and jump on my bike to cleanse my soul.
I've got a '82 CB650 and I absolutely love it. I'm going to look at a '75 CB750k later this week. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! BTW, I've never seen a gas gauge tank cap like that. Is that a stock part? Very cool (and useful)
I do not know, and I do not care. I have not seen that movie, and I am not planing to either... I guess you have seen it thou, so I guess the "joke" is on you...
I'm restoring a 75 cb750 when it comes to the electronics I suck. I have a problem I just got new stock coils since then I keep blowing my 15A fuse any help would be appreciated.
i have a 1982 750c do you have the old coils is so make sure the numbers are the same, after market coils are very tricky. put the old coils back in an see if it runs
super 4? Are you talking about the CB 400 From the early 80´s ? In that case the CB 400 is alot cheaper then the CB 750 From the beginning of the 70´s.
Thanks! :) I had a look at your video, your CB 750 Chopper is one of the most good looking CB 750 Choppers I have ever seen! Keep on rideing that Chopper! :) I have my bikes in the garage for the Winter now... We have a looong Winter here in Northern Sweden. :(
Nice video. Looks like you put some quality into it.
There's a discrepancy with this bike though... A K2 = 1972, a 1975 = K5. From the looks of the bike (e.g., the speedo and tach bracket, the slightly larger (than other models) front fork reflectors, no front disc brake guard, etc.), I think it's a 1972 K2. But it can't be a 1975 K2 as there's no such thing.
If the numbers on the engine and frame start with a 2, then it's a 1972 K2. If the numbers start with a 5, then it's a 1975 K5.
Thanks! In Europe the K2 was sold from 1972 til 1975 or 1976. There were never sold any K3, K4 or K5 in Sweden. This bike is in other words a K2, but sold here in sweden in 1975. The engine and frame numbers start with a 2.
