Re: looking to buy a cb750

If you are looking for a project bike, I would suggest offering $250, and start negotiating from there. If you want something that will require less work, to make ridable, look elsewhere. It doesn't run, presently, so it will take time, money, and parts, to get it running, and safe to ride.

What type of bike are you looking for? Something to chop into a cafe, or bobber, or something you can restore to original, or something you can build into a street rider, mostly stock? That will help. Cheers!

That is someone playing a joke. They have been doing that a lot here in Kansas City lately. E-mail them, and, you will never get an answer. Also if it was, for real they would have had, so many calls they would have removed the add. There are CB 750's around the KC area, you just have to look, for them. Check out the Kansas City Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club (KCVJMC on yahoo groups.)

I was thinking about this while driving home tonight.If i buy another bike,AND was planning on modifying the looks of it anyway,I would buy something that had little to no mechanical/electrical problems,but looked beat all to pieces just to get a good deal on it.Just an idea...probably a bad one
