reformed V-twin rider

After swearing by big inch American V-twins for years I have just bought a 1982 CB750k. How sweet is this bike?

Uhmm...very sweet? :-)

FYI, I'm a V-twin guy exclusively for the last 3 years. It's an '84 Honda Shadow VT700C.

I've got an '80F. Basically the same machine. And yes, it is sweet! Smooth,powerful and reliable. Love it.

Welcome to the forum.

Is this your first inline four ever?

Yes it is. I had a Yamaha Virago1000 years ago, a Harley Dyna for many years and most recently a huge chopper with a 113ci S&S. I use my bike every day for commuting, sometimes very early. My neighbors appreciate the change.

Nice bike. I was going to get a Shadow but I decided to go vintage. I am a big fan of classic cars and this my first older bike. So much fun.
