Gee, 1003 miles for $750. Indeed, hard to ignore.

Mark - you saw the actual bike for sale pics right?
Far from the clean bike pic- and said it has sat for decades... but looks CLEAN and unmolested under all the dust

I had a '76 - looks fairly similar. Great vertical twin. That'd be a fun project if done right. Fast, strong, reliable and not too thirsty. Paid a little over $900 in 1976 dollars.

I had an '82 KZ750 LTD when I was in the army- love love LOVED that bike...
Even though I had a clean 1976 CB750 - I modeled my CB styling around the LTD...
Bike is a huge gamble...but well worth the price if nothing major. SOOO- I wrote the seller, he is available tomorrow eve- and I txted my buddy with a truck.

plan on a careful lining. hope they drained it.
few yrs ago, earlier 650:
no current pic but it now has mags, and is 90% done. My friend Davids bike, i actually gave it to him, and did the carbs etc.
frame is now powdercoated, motor looks as good as the carbs, etc. just needs some wiring and a final paint job.
Must feel incredible bringing back the seemingly dead.

Still might grab this…. Guy was supposed to be available yeaterday but was Mia.
Today he wrote and said he was busy- and can’t find the title- but will knock $50 off because of it. But my buddy was busy and can’t make it out until Sat…
Soo- if it’s still around by them, maybe I’ll bring this home w/ no title for $700.
I’ll have enough time fixing it up before I worry about it being on the road.
