Honda CB description

1974 Honda CB750 in decent daily rider condition. Has current DC title & registration in seller's name and is street legal. It's a real head-turner with a vintage style that stands out from anything else on the streets these days.

Bike has many upgrades, including:
  • Electronic ignition
  • High-output coils
  • Solid state rectifier
  • Entire new wire harness
  • New fuse box
Cosmetics are good enough to turn heads as you ride by. 4/4 exhausts were replaced with NOS parts in 2001 and are intact with no holes. Seat was recovered and has no tears. Side covers have no cracks. Tank has no dents; there is a quarter-inch chip in the paint on the left-hand side. Chrome has age-related pitting but no significant rust.

See it in action:
  • Running at idle and revving: https://youtu.be/n--NyvM7zXI
  • Riding up and down the alley: https://youtu.be/eLJuw6gbVQc
Wear & Tear:
  • Bike has been garage-stored unused for about 2 years and will benefit from a tune-up. It takes a while to get started when cold and the low idle gets erratic. Bike is fully-rideable once warmed up.
  • You can hear the front brake squeaking in the 2nd video; this generally disappears after riding a few minutes. 
  • The starter solenoid must be replaced. Starter motor works just fine if you jump the solenoid terminals with a screwdriver. This is a $35 part.
  • Tank interior has normal rust pitting from age and should be treated/lined at some point.
Bottom line: it's an old bike that's been idle for a while and needs a little TLC--but way less than a restoration. Contact me with specific questions and for more details.

This is a moving sale. My new place doesn't have a garage and vintage bikes don't fare well living in the open on city streets. Bike can be picked up in SE DC, near Eastern Market. I cannot deliver or ship; buyer must arrange for all transport after the sale.
