1978 CB750K

[Gasturbine]

Hi guys. Complete newbie to the forum. I did some poking around, and it looks fantastic. Lots of good information and resources.

Anyway, Im not new to motorcycles and have had dozens and dozens over the years, In fact, I sill have my first bike...a 1973 Honda CT-70. Still runs and still street legal. Here is a pic;


And my current ride is my heavily modded 2008 Night Rod special;


Anyway, my real reason to reach out to you pros, is to ask for your comments on a 1978 Honda CB750K Im looking at. It has 9600 miles on it and looks to be in fine shape. It looks like the current owner was going to cafe it out. It has a pipe, wheels, a flame paint job (which isnt my style , but looks good) a cafe seat, LED rear turn signals, and he relocated the tail light/plate to the left side down by the axle. He asking $2500 for it.

Any advise/comment/tips on ANYTHING I should look for/be aware of? Do these bike have any funnies I should be aware of? What do you think of the price?

Thanks!

Price depends so much on location.

For $2,500 that bike wouldn't last a day where I am.  Damn I wish I could get that bike for only $2,500 up here in Canada.

Some SOHC guys will have to chime in on things to look for, but cosmetically that bike looks great.

Wheels aren't stock.

The SOHC bikes are pretty much bullet proof. No weak links to speak of. Where I'm at that would be a $1, 500 to $2,000 bike.

OH CRAP I just noticed the wheels on it. Those wheels are worth $500-$800 alone.

Shes mine! I got her for an astounding $1700! I even rode her home (1.5 hour trip) and she was flawless! In fact, I surprised about the performance/handling/road manners of it.

Im stoked about it...I have such large plans for it.

Thanks for your input.
