If you could have a 1974 CB750, would you?

I currently have 6 bikes. 4 of which are in perfect running condition. I love old SOHC CB750s. My first ride on one in which I swapped my CB350 for 10 miles of highway riding was a revelation about 'what I was missing' back then but I could not afford to have one. Last year someone had a perfectly restored 76 750 SS. He was asking a bit: $4700, but for the money it would have almost been like buying a new one off the floor. The primary chain and crank were the only things that I didn't hear about getting checked, rebuild or replaced. I thought hard about it but then got realistic about my time. I wouldn't have time right now to maintain it. As it is my XS650 is sitting with clogged carbs, no time to clean them. My Blackbird still has a new stator in a box waiting to be installed, no time to install it. My Fury which is running fine, is 500 miles overdue for me to check and set the valves. I could not adopt another bike that's waiting for me to retire so that I can tend to it properly.. Then the news came about the CB1100 being brought to the US. New air-cooled Honda inline 4 standard. That's for me !

If you have the time/resources for an old CB750.. I say do it ! you'll be living my (retirement time) dream.

Any of the K models in metallic orange.. that's my dream bike !
