My First Ride: A 1975 Honda CB750

This post was updated on .

Story from Motorcycle Classics magazine. I love how goes from "best deal ever" to "POS" and back to "best deal ever" all because of one simple mistake that I know many of us have made:

Looks like a heck of a nice bike though (except for the seat):

P.S. Attn TOOLS, the Nov-Dec 2011 issue of Motorcycle Classics has the Hondamatic as the featured future classic for this issue. They've got a two page spread on the 'matics with an old ad. I'd send you my copy but I've already drooled all over it so I don't think you'd want it
