Gotta love that kickstarter, of course I'm sure you use the electric most of the time right?

I'm in the market for a 1976 CB750F1 if anybody knows of one for sale in good condition shoot me a pm.

I found one in Cleveland for $600... I bought it. Low mileage, needs gone through, carbs sync'd, swap to electronic ignition and she'll be a blast...

Funny thing about those bikes, if the battery is dead, the kick start don't work.

Love it Brumbear! I had a 78 KZ1000 in high school. Lots of fun on that bike. Almost lost my license too many times to count.

A good buddy of mine had a new one back in the day, a 1977 KZ 1000. They got to have the loudest turbo like screaming transmission I have ever heard.

He had that bike when I bought a new '79 CB750F SS. My 750 ran even with him up to about 110mph. Mine topped at 122, his at 130. He was disappointed that I could keep up, so he spent about $4500.00 in 1979 money, and built a hell of a bike out of it.

He knocked off about 150 lbs, racing triple discs, Kirker header, Crusatia fiberglass full racing body kit, pegs, clipons. Then that thing would fly!

A stock XB has more race goodies than what was available from anywhere back then!

1000 77 frame 78 engine...

Because of the small diameter cast rear wheel, triple discs, carbs, and JC Whitney seat, I thought you had stumbled upon the very rare 900 LTD.
