While I was there the Honda mechanic took me in back to see another customers CB750. I think he said its a '73. Very original aside from the 4/1 exhaust. Its funny how the CB seems small now; back in the day they seemed huge to me. Of course my ride then was a Yamaha 3505E.
Yes, and back in the day EVERYTHING looked big to you, in later years we realise 'we're all average'
I have a 2002 919 (CB900F in Canada) that I bought new and has served me well all these years with not a glitch.
When the 1100 became available here last year I knew I had to have one and pulled the trigger this year. Delivery won't be for a week or so.
I still have the 919, but will probably sell it as storage space is limited.
