In 1969 I was 15. When I got my drivers license at 16 in 1970 I bought my first street bike, a used Suzuki X6 Hustler. The Honda CB750 was way beyond my budget and skill level.
By 1973 I was in Germany with the 1st Armored Division, U.S. Army. I had a CB750 sales brochure taped to the inside of my foot locker (Next to the Bunny of the month ;-).
When I was discharged from the Army in 1974 I did not have enough money saved up to buy a CB750, so I ended up with a use 1969 Triumph Bonneville.
It was not until several years later that I got my first Inline-4 Honda, a 1985 CB700 Nighthawk. Loved that bike, put almost 100K miles on it.
When I retired in 2014 I bought my CB1100 Deluxe (my retirement gift to me) and lived happily ever after. THE END
