1976 Honda CB750 Spotted!
On Friday I was fuelling my Zong before a ride, and I spotted this 1976 Honda CB750 leaving the pumps. I stopped the owner and chatted with him for a few minutes. He found the bike in a barn, and restored it to its former glory. :D

Whoa! It looks like brand new! Beautiful bike :D
|
The owner said he found the bike stashed in a barn with 4,000 miles on the odometer. :tup: My first bike was a 1979 Honda CB400T. Looking at this superbly restored bike brought back many fond memories of the old Honda motorcycles. :)
|
He did a nice job, but I wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation to create a cafe bike.
I spotted an orange Zong in the pics. Now, that's a nice bike! |

My grandpa had a cb400 twin (supposedly there was a twin and an inline 4? Not sure about that) but that bike is what got me into riding...i remeber going for rides with grandpa onnit back when i was like 8....LOL then i got my very own honda when i was 12...a honda xl75, rode that beast into the ground (till the wheels were literally falling off, i had busted half the spokes) then that engine went into my go cart build a few yrs ago....LOL

The old girl vibrated like crazy but it never ever let me down, even though it was pretty beat when I got it. Took my bike license on that machine, good times! :yay: |
A 1979 CB400T was my first motorcycle. It was an inline, twin cylinder bike with dual carburetors. It had a top speed of about 95 mph, wound out in high gear, heading slightly downhill, at sea level, with a tailwind. ;) I loved that bike. :)

The usual CB 400's that we see or twins. There was a see CB 400 super sport which was a four cylinder, and highly coveted. I passed on one for $2000 once, and I am still kicking myself!
|
During my daily craigslist shopping, I come across many CB 750s, however rarely one that pristine. And sorry Weld, if I ever got my hands on one of those, it would definitely stay stock LOL.
|
That's the bike that was the final nail in the coffin for the British motorcycle industry.
|
My 77 should have looked so nice.
|
The Zong looks great too:-)

I love to see the classics in complete form...
