If he can get his new career off the ground he'll get one I think. A mutual buddy that rides a Griso now, has an old KZ900 in the stable, also likes the Valkyrie. Go figure.
Like Chip, I never had a CB750 nor did I lust after one (more of a Goldwing, CB550, CB400 kinda guy back then, with a dose of VF750 Sabre tossed in, although I came very close to pulling the trigger on a Ascot 500 single (warehouse was out or I would have done it).
Tweak the basic CB to suit yourself, but beyond that, it's no longer the CB1100 that I was attracted to and bought.
As a younger guy, I'd be making all kinds of changes.
At my age (57) it's more bother than it's worse. I'd like a larger gas tank, but even changing THAT, even if there was a drop-in replacement...sounds like a PITA.
I like this thing. It's why I bought it. If I go touring, I'll get a plexiglas batwing screen...that is about the only change, along with panniers, I might make.
Might.
