I have 123,000 miles on my 1976 Honda CB750F. It's been in storage the past 20 years now. This bike never once failed to get me back home. Other than several flat tires, the only issue I had with it was a broken clutch cable. I was 2 miles from home when the clutch cable broke and I was able to make it home. I put the bike in neutral when I came to a stop light, but when the light turned green I pushed it up to speed before jumping on and clicking it into gear. I put new clutch plates and springs in it, rear wheel bearings, fork seals, and the LH lower fork tube that wore out (no fork bushings in these older bikes, and the forces caused by the single brake disc on the LH side caused higher loading on the LH side).
