Great looking bike you have there. I felt the same way when I bought my first cb740k some ten years ago. That feeling that of"it just can not be good to go that fast on a bike this old". But now that I am onto my fifth one and have never had one give up on me I am over it. I would still have all five today but you know how it is when some one puts enough cash in front of you it can be hard to turn them down. I know three of the new owners and they are all still on the road and no real repairs beyond normal maintanace. Two of the guys actually ride the interstate on them for work daily. They both have about ten minutes on the fast road each way but it is high speeds none the less.
Ride like the wind my friend,  she won't let you down.
One other thing, if you are going to ride at the speeds we are talking about please,please,please keep a eye on your tire preasures. I have had the 70mph blow out and it is no laughing matter. Just being safe(must be the father in me).
Good luck.
