750 gets the thumbs up from me. Like the bikes color and the classic side covers. Baritone sounds rocks and Ilke the unpainted engine. Nice work!

I really like that 750. Brings back memories of the very first CB750 I rode that belonged to my friend's older brother. He was away in college so we disconnected the speedo and took it for a ride!

@Mattwest1985 2 жыл бұрын

I had a friend that took his buddies Harley for a spin without asking and wrecked it into a curb right in front of this house I was at trying to show off. He didn’t know how to work the clutch good! But the owner came to pick it up after and kicked it over in front of all of us while he was loading it up. 😂 his girl had to talk him out of leaving it in the damn road. Man it was a very uncomfortable situation for all of us! Lol poor guy was still paying on the damn thing and his friend ruined it like a dumbo! I remember the phone call when he was telling the guy. Man, that sucked!

I like the 750 personally. The colour is great. It reminds me of the early Goldwing I had in candy apple turquoise. Looking forward to the new developments in 2021..... All the best for the new year. Dave from Scotland.

Beautiful work as always. The 500 with the Norton looking decals is most attractive to me personally. I think if it were mine I would prefer the fender painted to match the tank and the headlight dropped down so that the top of the housing lined up with the top of the tank.

Happy New Year! Regarding the sound, I prefer de CB500, but I love de CB750. I used to own a CB750 K1, that I purchase new, when I was racing for Honda here in Colombia, we're talking many years ago, racing with the CB125 Super Sport and CB175. Thanks for your videos. Be safe and enjoy life. By the way, I also had a Motorcycle Shop.

The 750 is my preference all day long, but the only thing I would change on that bike is the headlight mounting ears need to be shorter and the headlight needs to be tucked in and mounted lower, but everything else looks great! And the sound that 750 makes versus the 500 is hands-down way more throaty and deeper sounding, the CB750 is in my blood! I love that bike! I own three of them now!

I wanted a 550, mainly cause of this channel. But ended up with a 750 3 years ago. Now after building mine, and ride I prefer the cb750. I've seen external oil reservoirs like cognito moto's that change its location so you don't need side cover. I think I prefer side cover. But power from 750 makes it better I think

impressive man. I'm new to riding and I'm looking for a CB500 that is in the similar aesthetics of this video. I just finish watching your carburetor rebuilt, excellent attention to detail... If you have a bike that you currently selling (cafe racer style) or if you have time for a rebuilt, I would be interested in talking.

@Bbbuddy 3 жыл бұрын

Great job on those, although I'd use better shocks. I'm pretty sure CB550 and CB750 fork tubes are the same, at least the same diameter (35mm). I know the sliders are the same, and the brake calipers fit both, although the 750 caliper and disk are slightly larger.
