Hi all! Just picked up my new old 78 CB750A last Friday and I'm excited to learn all I can about motorcycles in general and this one in particular. It seems surreal that I own this beauty after lusting after bikes on Craiglist all summer  You all seem really cool and smart and I'm glad to join ya! Here's a pic of my bike cause I can't resist....

Oh come on! Trying to fool us by posting a picture of a brand new bike instead of some old one you got off of craig's list. LOL, just kidding.
That bike does look brand new though. It's beautiful. Congratulations and welcome to the forum.
P. S. Your clutch lever is missing!

Well City, don't feel bad.I was curious,too.Something that clean had to be pricey.I'm sure it was worth it,though.

Thanks guys, I'm pretty much in love with it! It has 9960 miles and I picked it up from a dealer in town here for $1000, with tax and licensing came to about $1300. They bought it from a local guy; he kept it in his garage and never rode it much. I think I did pretty good on this deal.

I would say so. Hopefully it was in good running order being that you bought it from a dealer as well.
