"Under $1000" *stares at 2020 craigslist* *cries*

Somewhere in the depths of Honda's engineering pool, some Japanese gentlemen starts smiling, and he doesn't know why.

This video was incredibly bittersweet for me. I had a cb450sc for a few years and i swear that bike was bulletproof. I road it all over the place, and it could keep up with my friends kitted up custom jobs. I took that thing on shitty backroads, through flooded areas, even over sandy beaches, and it survived all of that (of course i did maintenance but I don't think many modern bikes could take the punishment it did without crapping out). I crashed it a few years ago and I like think that in its final moments it gave me some of its invulnerability for just a moment. I walked away from the crash with a few cuts and bruises, while the nighthawk was literally ripped in half. If I went back and replayed that crash I'm sure, 99 times out of 100 I'm dead or seriously injured. I haven't ridden since then but this video reawakened that self-destructive love I had for riding motorcycles. I doubt you'll see this, but thank you Mr Regular for bringing those memories back. God I loved that bike.

Lol, one man’s dead dad’s bike is another man’s SCORE

Despite it's engine being roughly 1,000ccs smaller than that of my '84 Rabbit, that CB750 makes slightly more power. And even my Insight, with a much more similarly sized engine of only 1,000ccs makes less power than this 30+ year old bike even with an electric motor assisting it. The morale of this comment is that I only own cars that barely make enough power to be functional apparently.

This video will likely bring the price of these bikes to well over $1000 as people start buying more of them at asking price and people that own them figure out what they can get for them. Damn it, it's the Mosin Nagant all over again.

I loved my CB750 Custom, which was a poor attempt to turn it into a cruiser. Same bike, but shaft drive, dual front disc brakes, and a fancy paint job. Great bike. It came with spare fuses, too!

I'm 20 and started riding motorcycles at the beginning of this year. I bought a 2017 KTM 390 DUKE and absolutely love it, but i could totally see myself buying one of these. My generation doesn't really care about how 'un-sexappealing' these things are like you're describing them. All we see is a cool and unique vintage bike, i even bet to say that you'd be one of the coolest guys in college if you rolled up on one of these. We didn't live through the 80's so we never experienced how these bikes deserved their 'uncool' stigma. I would take the windjammer off though.

Old Honda’s were engineered to perfection when they actually had competition, they just won’t die no matter how you tried

Harley Davidson was once the working man's bike. Then after Malcom Forbes rode his bike with Elizabeth Taylor on the back, it became the rich man's brand. Now it's just the poser brand for weekend wannabes.

Not sure if the small cut scenes of Mr. Regular saying things is artistic expression or evidence that RCR is now sick and tired of making review videos

Mr. Regular got me into motorcycles. I bought a 93 Yamaha XJ600. It has an air cooled 4 cylinder engine too. It's a great bike.

5:35 NA red miata. Feels good man.

Watch these shoot up in price because of Mr.Regular

These old Japanese bikes are mechanical , bullet proof jewels . But they were developed by engineers and the chassis's have absolutely no feed back or feel through your bum or the bars . Like riding a refrigerator - if you jump from a contemporary italian bike to one of these it's shockingly vague .

I can't find one this cheap

Love my handed down CB 750 super sport. Mine is a 1975 model and I'm 17, so my mom really glares at me when I ride. I understand why.

These bikes are A LOT of fun. Mine is stripped down, lowered, pod filters, full delkavic header and exhaust. It's a snappy little thing.

ＮＯＴ Ａ ＣＡＲ

I absolutely loved the small passages throughout the video. They provoke the imagination. My favorite was, talking thought we cigarette she asked, don’t you like girls.?

Being a harley owner, I never thought I'd want one of these until after this review lol

I had a 81 or 82 CB750K. Got it new as a carryover in 86. Fresh out of the crate. By far the best all around bike I have ever owned. And it was Blue. No 💩 for me. If I could get a pristine model today, I would not hesitate.

I bought an 1981 750k for 1k dollars in 2013 i loved that bike. It had like 40k miles on it and it rode like a dream.

The modern day version of this bike would be the current Honda NC700X.

...and now they're $4,000

Tks Mr. Regular! Love that review! It isn't a head Turner or a panty dropper but I bought a CB750 6 years ago from the original owner and I've never been happier with a vehicle purchase. Bulletproof. Rode on a 2500 mi round trip this summer with 18 hrs straight the last day and made it!

This was my first bike when I was 20! Absolutely loved it. Rode great, plenty of power and speed, handles like a much lighter bike, and never any mechanical problems. Man I miss that thing. Made some cafe style changes to it, clubman bars, custom seat, side exit exhaust, sleeker indicators, and a few others. Can wait to find my next CB750K.

I have never wanted a motorcycle and I have disdain for bikers in general for numerous reasons. Now I want this. Sure, it's Sunday night and I've had too much to drink. Maybe I'm just sick of all the slow and broke down cars I own. I probably should be asleep since I have to work tomorrow. But here I am. Wondering and pondering on being the 9th owner of a used Honda bike. I've already owned 4 Honda cars and my Accord wagon is broke down again. Maybe 2 wheels is a good idea. I'd probably get myself in trouble. I buy slow cars because I have no self control. I drive my 5 speed hhr to work and wish it was fun. But I know I'd do something I shouldn't. So I'll probably just keep doing what I've been doing. But you've made me feel. You've made me question my existence as a "car guy." Do I want to go fast? Yes. Should I? Probably not. Life is strange. 3:50a.m. is a fleeting mistress that always makes me think strange things.

That’s the perfect bike for a bosozuku build

I had one of these! What memories! This bike was fast and at the time, was a head-turner. Thanks for sharing.

I don't like to admit how often I cry during your videos.

"Like the handsome twat you are". Lol, got me there.

best motorbike is $500 motorbike

My dad had one of these, though a tad older. Thanks for bringing back that memory for me.

Man, I'm probably not the only one here who's not into cars but is super into bikes and I wish you made more bike content because it's top-notch stuff!

Reminds me of the bike out of "Purple Rain"

"Cafe racer= uuuuuuugggghhhhhhhh"

My first bike was my dad's 1980 Suzuki GS850G with a windjammer similar to that one. It had shaft drive and twin front discs. It handled better than alot of new bikes I've ridden once I put a set of bridgestones on it. I compare every bike I try to it, and most come up short in one way or another.

Great review for those curious to start biking. Now i want one. Thanks Regular Guy! Thanks!

They’re the fanny pack of motorcycles and they’re amazing

8:15 One man's annoying is another man's easy way of checking if he left his signal on rather than having to repeatedly click in the switch and hope that it registered this time. I honestly like older Honda's for that very reason, shame they stopped making them that way

Loved it . My dad had one ( 1982 Honda cb750k ) but it was candy imperial blue . He would ride it to work about 70 miles away occasionally . It was a great bike and the 1981 Honda cb900f I had was just as sound of a bike . Never had any problems from them other than the oil and tire changes . They were great bikes back then , you could get on and ride for an afternoon spree or take out and tour for weeks and not wonder if it was going to bring you back . I took mine several times on vacation around the US and always came back refreshed from a good ride .

Picked up my 82 cb650 for 800 bucks with the wind jammer and saddle bags. I love riding it

Last time I was this early I still had dial up

Mmm, I love me some 3 am bike reviews

I absolutely love this video, I’ve helped a friend work on his CB750K, great bike. Surprised you didn’t mention Harley’s announcement about changing their line up and adding dual sport and sport bikes back in.

My first bike was my dads 1975 CB 750. I loved it. Rode it for year's and what a great bike.I gave it back to him and he re-did alot bike.

What a beautiful buy. Mine is a 1980 CB750F sporty one and has its original twin mufflers . It now has 115,000 miles on it. It is still such a pleasure to ride.

I ride an '82 Honda GL500i, Silverwing. Crank out 200+ miles just about every Sunday as well as commute, weather permitting. 55+mpg and yes, it will not die.

Do another lawnmower review plz

obligatory: OMG GUISE IT'S SO LATE BUT IM WATCHIN THIS INSTEAD OF SLEEPING HA HA HA OMG I HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW OH WELL EL OH EL.

woot! More people need to know about theses 80's Hondas! I'm 37 and learned on a cm400t and now have an 82 Goldwing. These Honda bikes just won't die!

This makes Monday worth waking up early for. Thanks RCR

I'm more of a V45 Magna/Sabre guy myself.

Psh, fastest cheap motorcycle is probably a Magna V65. I see them regularly for $1000~ish. Still a Honda, slightly newer.

This was cool seeing you drive around rolling meadows. Come to Chicago more often!

Damn. That's a great deal on a 750. Never going to find a running clean cb around my area for less that 2k.

Wooo it's 4 am again

You know what else they made millions of and people felt wore worthless, Mk I and II for escorts, Mk1 Golf, Beetle... many many high volume cars end up collector items in time, because they are assumed worthless, no-one keeps them. Look at things like coke yo-yos, super mass produced.

I have one in a shed that needs a little attention. I bought it so my son and I could have a versatile cruiser that was low key and pretty much maintenance free. First time I took it out I was SHOCKED at how fast it climbed from 3k rpm to redline. My daily at the time was a Monster 695 and while the Monster is a "faster' bike the Honda is so much more civilized doing the same 10-80 pull, then you just sit back and let it glide along at 70mph and low rpm and a virtually silent exhaust. if it weighed 100lbs less it would be a perfect machine.

Not to get all sappy here but my dad had one of those when i was young and this brings back a lota memories ...So thank you for doing a review on this.

I want one, and i want to make it a bosozoku bike

This video has sufficient levels of BROWN.

Oh man my dad had one of these when I was a kid, we bought it to fix up together and flip. Great Time

This bike is _screaming_ for the Purple Rain paint-job. Happy New Year, RCR guy and guy who sings the opening songs for each RCR VJO!

You guys do know that it's a bosozuku bike, right?

THIS ISN'T A CARRRRR

And now the prices started rising again. Thanks a lot, regular Barret-Jackson reviews!

Your motorcycle reviews are the best

I would definitely Cafe racer it

I’ll tell you why no ones buying it, it looks like someone’s grandpas ugly bike but I do respect the speed

Had exactly same bike !! Great bike. I did remove extra weight of it rode it for a while and resold making $ to buy honda 919 my dream bike :) love it.

Just bought a Cb750k 1982 and agree that they are perfect. They are easy to work on and ride. The build quality are also far times better than my suzuki from the same era. Parts are also cheaper and easier to obtain. Sure its a bit boring and wont set your ass on fire but its really a joy to cruise along with. It really stands out with its red/black paints scheme and 4-4 chrome exhaust when standing next to more modern bikes. What ever shortcomings it may have its a true enthusiast motorcycle these days when its in good original condition. Edit: forgot to mention that I only paid 1300$ dollars with 3500 miles and always enjoy peoples reactions how its possible to get these so cheap

Why can't Americans properly pronounce 'twat'?

Mr Regular, I feel like most of your toilet humor is not enhancing your stories like it used to. Also, you once said that you don't use profanity because it is unnecessary to get the point across.

One of your best episodes yet, my friend.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING A HONDA FURY FOR MY NEXT BIKE BUT YOUR VIDEO MAKES ME WANT ANOTHER CB750. Thanks Mr. Regular. Now I'm on craigslist. I hope you're proud of yourself. Also, I can vouche for this bikes speed. My first one? Jetted carbs and I hit 140 on it, got death wobble, and dropped.

Love the random factoids about older "regular" stuff like this, but I really am having a hard time enjoying it with the trying too hard crapola inserted in between. I'm not here for the granola banter I hear from my failed "writer" brother in law at Thanksgiving... I want more shit about shitty regular cars.

>>>>>>>>>>that 30 year old boomer

More than any other web reviewer(s), I love listening to your stuff when something is good. Ragging on something is great (Looking at Yahtzee and Plinkett especially) but you convey the special feelings something good... or just weird can give you

just bought a cb750 four, this video makes me fall in love with it even more haha

NOT A CAR

Somebody will read this comment.

I bought a 83’ VT750 last year. Love it. I definitely feel like a rebel not riding a Harley, but still rocking the cruiser. Bought it for $500. So glad I pulled the trigger on that bike. I would recommended any of the 80’s era Honda’s to all riders.

not a car

09:23 Rode past my donut shop. As a long time subscriber, it truly geeked me out. Thanks for visiting the Northwest Subarbs.

I had an 81 CB750 custom. They're very special bikes. 0-60mph in 4.0 seconds, sounds like a race car, rides like an easy chair.

Such profound and life altering poetry.

I owned this motorcycle in the 1990s with a full Vetter Windjammer with lowers, Vetter detachable saddlebags, and travel trunk. I did three Iron Butt events on this cycle including the ride around all the Great Lakes. I earned the Iron Butt certificate but not the Gold certificate because the speed limits are really low in Ontario and there were no gas stations open after 10 PM. I saw a lot of moose on the side of the road.

My first motorcycle was a CB750 bought off craigslist, completely original. And it will remain completely original. It's just so perfect.

My dad had one of these growing up his was a 78 model I think and it was a great bike I myself had a CB550FOURK which was also a great bike. My uncle bought the 550 new in the 70’s and he layed it over in the yard with 400 miles on it and he put it in the garage and it set there till 1994 when I bought it and had the carbs rebuilt and all the rubber and plastics replaced basically making it like a new bike. Also he had bags and a big windshield and crash bar and after market taillights it was loaded. I rode that bike for years and even used it like a dirt bike when it got older and I stopped caring about it as much. Bulletproof bikes that’s for sure.

I actually just finished restoring one of these. Very beautiful bike.

My first bike was a '77 CB550K. The little brother to this bike. It had a fairing on it, but it was smaller than this Windjammer. My dad painted a fireball, that emerged from around the headlight, on the black fairing. I thought the fireball was cool at the time, but my friends said otherwise. About 3 years ago I sold a '93 Honda Nighthawk 750 that was a spiritual successor to this bike. I thrashed that bike and it just took it.

You may not want one, but I do. Look at the 70’s on that bike... Thank you Mr. Regular. You’re close to me now. I wish you could drive my EVEN SLOWER ‘84 944 not an ‘S.’

I had 3 80s era Honda's. The 450sc, 500 magna, and now a gl1100. Smooth as butter

Holy crap, you guys are in Schaumburg! Took me a second when I saw the Zurich buildings to put two and two together. That’s awesome!

I had a 1978 CB750K (last year of the single overhead cam). I did some top end work and didn't know about blowing out the oil lines that run through little holes in the head and ended up oil starving one of the camshaft mounts, which caused the camshaft to snap, turning my inline 4 into an inline twin. That bike didn't care and got me home on two cylinders just fine. Cleaned out the tubes I'd missed, put in a new camshaft, and rode that bike for another 15k miles before selling it to someone else in great working order. Those bikes were (and are) amazing.
