Random inspirational bikes

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
I will never build or own another CB750.
I have owned about 10 of them and spent about 10 years working on them... and that was more than enough for me.

BUT... having said that... I will never fault anyone for owning or building one themself.
If you can do it, good for you. I like the way they look, and some people can keep them on the road... I cannot.

However... I find that really nicely built CB750 choppers are hard to come by.
Most of them tend to be sloppy long bikes or bike that the owners call "BOBBERS" (which of course they really aren't at all!)

But every once and awhile a nice one shows up.
This is one such bike.

Not to shabby... just get me some better front brakes and we are getting somewhere!

Random inspirational bikes




Now... I have to tell you that I REALLY don't like CB750's at all.
I've owned about 10 of them and I have never had anything but trouble.
Plus, that motor is way to heavy for my preferences.
And if I see ONE more terrible nasty CB750 longbike that is cobbled together by some guy who really wants a Harley and his CB750 is just a stepping stone... BUT he gets WAY bent out of shape if someone suggests that his Honda is less of a bike than a nicely built, solid, and fully functioning Panhead... I think I am going to puke.
BUT... this one I like. It's about the best one I have seen in a long, long, long time.
Light? FAST, SKINNY, HANDLES GOOD, GROUND CLEARANCE, STOPS GOOD, highpipes, dual 16's
