I am looking at picking up a CB750K 1980 but need to ask some advice. I have been in motorcycles for 38 years and had a few years off, now keen to go again.
This is the bike in the pictures, barn fresh.
Needs tyres, blinkers, fork oil seals, tail light lens, front master cylinder, dump the front fairing etc. at a very quick glance. It has both side covers.
I looked at the oil and it is very thick, which means to me that the engine may need a heart transplant (full strip down) probably using oil.
I have not come back to the guy with price, he mentioned around $2000, I am thinking $1000 tops. I will put plenty of questions to the owner when we meet again.
What do you guys think. I am in Australia.
