Did you own a CB 750 in the past?

[GoldOxide_imp]

my old f model. I do miss this one.

But, I sold it and my 1st rd to cover the last semester of college. so i don't regret that.

this is the bike that made me hate k models for the most part. I absolutely would own another, but would have to be a spoke model w rear disc of this year.

i had a few ks before and after this, 73, 74, etc. then not long ago i had a 78

I probably should have kept this one, it ran really well. I absolutely despised the 17" rear wheel, but I traded it for a 68 ford falcon that was pretty cool, so away it went.

Sumthin' 'bout the rear drum brake that sometimes takes me back. I used to despise the looks of 'em, but today they have grown nostalgic on me.

I actually LIKE a rear drum, to me has more feedback than a disc to me. But i despise comstars, hence my comment. man that f went like stink too.

Yeah, Comstars aren't the prettiest. Some other forums remark they are "classic". I haven't adjusted to the looks of them. I try not to look at them.

Yup, a '92 CB750 was my bike immediately before getting my CB1100

Beautiful bike Enzo,
Did you add a 2nd front disc brake or was it factory?

 

[Enzofour_imp]

added.

I would say, it was a CB750 Nighthawk, like flynrider owns one.

Yes, of course - the bless'ed Nighthawk.

I owned a 1971 CB-750F back in the day, late 70’s. I traded even a much newer DT-250 enduro for it. I fished the CB-750 out of the snowbank & got it home.

I rode the bike all over, eventually gave it to a relative when I went in the military. That was the last I saw of it. I’ve owned a handful of different bikes over the years after.

I've had two early '90's Nighthawk 750s. The first one got totaled when an old lady ran into me. I liked that one a lot, it had the 4-2 exhaust that I modded and it sounded bitchin'!! I bought another one that had 4-1 exhaust, someone had put a Yoshimura can on it. It was WAY too loud. I rewrapped it four times and finally got it more or less under control but still too loud. I sold it.

‘78 GS550 for me. Back in the days of newspaper classifieds and being what was there that I could afford.

Started out on a 1976 CB750 Supersport

Hey, TX - I see you're in North Texas. Me too, in Azle, 76020. Care to meet up and ride?

I briefly owned a '72 CB750. It was a literal barn find, stuck in a corner, covered in dust. Paint, seat and bars weren't OEM, but the engine, tranny, and main things were sound. Complete carb & tank cleaning, along with new points, and it was up and running. Sold it last summer. Also had 2 DOHC 750's. First was big-bored and ran a 900f cam. Last one I converted to 1100cc, via a CB1000 bottom end (converted to chain drive), then bored out to use 1100f pistons. I can certainly see, feel and appreciate the linage leading up to the current CB1100...

Oooooo. Any early raw images of the barn find?

How many CB1100 riders owned CB750s back in the day?
I didn't.

My ride back in 1965 - 1967 was a twin. a BSA Spitfire Scrambler.
My question is ..... much as I like how the CB1100 is able to get down the road, am I permanently addictedly to the way twins make power?

I find it hard to fall in love with the way 4 cylinder UJMs make power.

Bought one for $800 back in the late 90's. It was a Black '77 CBK, and I kept and refurbished it (to a degree) during the 12 years I had it. Ended up having too many electrical issues, and I was always purchasing something to keep it safe on the road. The CB 1100's appearance along with extra power and fuel injection sold me, and I had to sell it.
