Yeah I've got that on an open tab. I was wondering if I was going to miss the 6th gear or not. I also figured I could play some hardball with the dealerships since I'm not desperate to get it from them.

New to the forum. I have a 71 CB750 that needs more love than I can give. I don't have work space and my wife is tired of me eating up perfectly good days working on it. It really bums me out to realize I have to sell it. I don't have the room, time or money for it.
But I am looking for a CB1100. I kind of worry that I'm pigeon holing myself and not broadening my horizons. But I think i know what I like. I had a 94 sportster 1200 for 3 months when my 750 had another bout of too many issues I cared to fix. I didn't like it. And I love old bikes, but I can't bring another old bike home... not for a while at least.
I test rode one that came up at a dealership and I absolutely loved it. But in looking at the used market vs dealership prices I'm not sure if I should hold out or drive a while to save some cash or go to the dealership near me.
$7999 for a 2014
6300 miles
full Yoshi Exhaust System, Driving Lites, Engine Guards, Fly Screen
I honestly would rather get something stock and work from there. I was going to see about trying to work on the price a bit.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
PS. If anyone in the Philly area needs a CB750 project holler at me.
Post a pic or 5. I can probably give you rough estimate. In Philly if it needs work can be a tough sell. Clean and ride ready? Different story. K2s and K3s can be pretty desirable if in good shape.

I have it on on a few sites to see what kind of interest I get.
It "rides" but it went from small oil leak to more noticeable oil leak. And I'm not going to pull that engine out and do the work myself... I just don't have that kind of space or time. It's definitely on the quirkier end of what you can find. But it's all there. I'm seeing rougher projects go for more.
We'll see what happens!
