My father in law just bought this exact bike from the gentleman that won it on your auction. Working on getting the carbs cleaned, and fluids and lines replaced. Pretty neat that’s it’s so untouched. Original brake lines, rotors, and most bolts haven’t been touched. Paint marks are still on 90% of them. 👍🏻👍🏻 should run great once we go through it a bit. The patina is awesome on it.

Love the CB750F and all the vintage bikes. I'm 58 and these motorcycles take me back to my youth. Keep up the good work and hope to visit the museum.

It’s all about the emotion. Team Kaplan gets it done

[@floridaroadracerguy]

THAT'S MY OLD BIKE! Loved that motorcycle.

[@freenational]

You should buy it back,

[@leebenson4874]

Still have mine. A 75F that I got in 79 with 966 mi's on her. And with a kill under her belt! A week later she with back on the road. She now has 300K++miles. Has a 915cc kit with Tracy Designed Body work, with a lot of me worked in!!! My girl!!!

[@kensmith9334]

The Honda 750K & 750F are very reliable engines/bikes! I own a '78 750K and performs well!

[@jameskizer8884]

This is the best year to have.

[@wayneswenson2464]

Hope you guys stay well through these current health concerns. I can’t wait to come visit the museum after things settle. I have a 77 supersport myself. It’s exciting to see that you guys get such great examples come through your doors.

[@johnmeurer4780]

I am the 2nd owner of a 78 cb750k, mine is all original too I also call it a survivor, but both of my side covers have cracks and there is a small tear in the seat and is a little sun faded from the original owner leaving it in the sun to admire I guess. I also have a 75 cb750k cafe racer that I daily ride in the summer.

[@gordonbishop6830]

I had one of these brand new in 1978 loved the sound of the exhaust handled beautiful

[@joepaulsen6594]

Great year. Great bike. Man they were so popular.

[@ChadwickRider]

He is 100% correct on the tail fender (part C) ... I'm rebuilding a 77 F2 right now and mine didn't have one... and they're nearly impossible to find, if you do they're expensive. Premium Japanese engineering that has stood the test of time.

[@derekcollins1972]

Nighthawks,black and blue and red and black.I remember those well......Great bikes as well.

[@glennmiddleton5634]

I owned a 1978 Super Sport with the same colour scheme. I traded my 1967 Triumph T120 for it. Took my Super Sport on several cross country trips. Nova Scotia (3 times), Rockies, Florida. Loved it!!

[@st-qd8wg]

That's great news. Do you have Sam bike now. i got one show Room Condition as you see here red tank instead 😊

[@stevenlangdon-griffiths293]

Another great video. If you don’t have a Honda 750/4 already, you’d buy one after seeing how they are presented here on this channel. I know, because I did! But mine is a 1973 K3 , it’s fabulous.

[@mikerieck306]

Only problem with the 77/78F is the valve train....they eat exhaust guides and valves. I have repaired (and ported) many of those heads. I'm about 70 miles from you fellas....I'll be stopping by summer 2020 with my 1975 750F (now 1005cc) I bought in 1976. I am looking forward to seeing your place.

[@cardiffchris]

So True about getting the good ones back. I need a 1985 XL350r and a 1981 GS650G and a 1983 RM250

[@Ruidac0]

I keep coming to this channel for the CB750s!

[@Moon-magic109]

I have an identical one with only 13k miles. Nice bikes.

[@GrievenceCapitolist]

Just rolled 17k. Its hard to just look at it in the garage .

[@gregwiens9146]

I just picked, from the original owner with 32k the exact same bike It sat for 30 years in a heated garage Got it running and safetied for $2500 Canadian

[@pbmachines972]

I hope your not tired of my comments i have a ‘79 looks like a new bike it’s been stored in a heated garage it’s whole life

[@wallacelakehomestead6616]

Had that exact bike, loved it...

[@bobnapoli6790]

Hello, I own an identical 78 CB 750F same factory paint scheme. I bought the cycle from a friend who was the original owner in 1980. The original mileage is 8111. Bike has not been started in 5 years, but was prepped for storage. I have title in hand. Paint is excellent, chrome needs to be buffed out, seat excellent.

[@nickjames205]

Love your videos. Your son sounds just like you. 👍

[@wingmanhoy3999]

Awesome beautiful, just incredible piece of artistic moto memorabilia, wish I was in the market.

[@garycrisp429]

The 1975 Honda CB750F Super Sport in Sunburst Orange is my favourite. Not sure what colour Honda described it as but what a great looking motorcycle. You're so right these classic 70's motorcycles evoke fantastic memories regardless of whether you owned one or not. You perhaps new someone that did and the feeling stays with you. The older you get the stronger the nostalgia.

[@dwightpenn9475]

I had that color 75ss , first street bike at 16. My dad's was this one showing. I have dad's 78 still. It was in my garage fire with a 92 Gixxer 11oo, 81 Ltd 1100 , 650 csr, 93 Gixxer 750, 1000 Csr. I'm. Gonna restore the 78 ss.

[@BrimHawk]

When I was 15, my Dad bought this exact bike brand new. Same paint scheme. I got to drive it a few times. Mostly when he was out of town, hehe. He sold it for an '86 Gold Wing. Blah.

[@kenwjones]

Awesome bike. I have the exact same bike but have the stock exhaust on mine, I really need to check out your place, I am in Connecticut as well.

[@robskully3539]

love the ending for the video. Wanted to make it down to visit during Thanksgiving but stuff came up. Still looking forward to coming down from NH with a few friends and spend the day there. See ya soon ... I will bring a drool rag to wipe off any drool off the bikes we drool on after looking ... LOL ..

[@skyb8687]

Well spoken,true moto people

[@anthonybressler4404]

[@ericlakota6512]

[@charleshamiltonii2481]

My friend and I bought one in 12th grade 77 $2,000 brand new and 1990 I sold it for $400 it was my biggest mistake ever I love that bike I would love to find another one thanks

[@nancyblanchard9175]

[@sooaltissimotempodersobrem5142]

A Motocicleta Esta Realmente em Estado Excepcional de Conservação ! Um ícone Dos Anos 70s.

[@liamhenry8164]

[@ericlakota6512]

[@roldo5902]

Since you couldnt find k models - so the f models became much more interest. The last bikes with chrome - since the 80s plastic is coming😢

[@pbmachines972]

RolDo I have a ‘79 k model it’s like new I did a short video on it @PB Machines if your interested ✌️

[@supersportimpalass]

Did they start painting the engines black in 78?

[@GrievenceCapitolist]

S S model . only I believe .

[@kjrutter17]

How much with shipping to the UK?

[@feliciac298]

I have the same bike however it needs some work. Do you think it would be worth it?

[@marcio5160]

[@mikestowe6136]

[@sqd37l]

anyone that wears a knit hat indoors is a douchebag

[@MrDjh66]
