Hello Forum,
New to this forum, but not new to bikes. Been riding 51 yrs. Drag raced Kowie Triples in the 70"s, love the old classics and also have a dolled up Sportster sharing the stable right now. I find, fix, and flip motorcycles and street rods for a hobby. My latest acquisition is a 1982 Honda CB 750 Custom. This was a one owner bike, older gentleman, garage kept and seldom used over the last 10 yrs. I know this is hard to believe, but the owner traded this bike to me for detailing and selling a streetrod he had. Needless to say, I accepted the offer and had his car sold in 2 weeks. I inspected and purged the gas tank, but was amazingly clean, then removed, rebuilt and synchronized the carbs. Installed a new battery and replaced the back tire.
It coughed and sputtered a little while she was clearing her throat, then fired off like a new bike. I live in So. Florida, so riding all the time is available if one is so inclined. The bike was SO SMOOTH, I actually couldn't believe it. Such a pleasure to ride. While I love my Sportster, I like this 750 so much, I am almost tempted to keep her. She has 19,420 miles on her. But I digress, If I do decide to sell my baby, can someone give me a range of this bikes value? I appreciate the info, and I hope you found the bike's story interesting.
