I think it is too much for me. I sold two dirt bikes (Kawi KDX 200s), which together didn't weigh as much as the CB, to buy a street bike. I had a 750K just like this back in the late eighties but I don't remember it being such a beast to move around. I rode those dirt bikes like a mad man and never got hurt but this beast almost killed me just getting it in the truck.

I' guess I'll just have to take the seats out of the minivan and go get that 78 this Friday. I can't cancel the bid and it looks like it's gonna be mine. I think it'll fit in there without the wheels and fairing on it. So I'll have one of each (DOHC & SOHC) for a while. I think I'll sell the 79 once I get the new tank on and fix the alternator. I should be able to get a least 1000 for it if it's running smooth and looking good. Then, I'll just rebuild the 78. Or maybe I should start with something smaller, like a CB350 (I had one of those too back in high school, great bike) and work my way back up the big boy's bike.
