Finally got around to getting some decent pictures of my '80 CB750F. This is a great bike, tons of fun. Bought it for 425 bucks. Runs, shifts, and (most importantly) stops great. Probably need some new rubber in a year or so, and a new chain (on order) but it's ready to go!
Took a short 15 mile ride on her yesterday, nice and smooth. Need some new padding on the saddle though.
All in all I'm very happy with it! I've got many ideas on what to do with her this winter (looooong winters here!) but that'll clear up later this year.
Thanks for lookin'!

Major score! For $425? Wow.... pretty clean and original too
With that little of an investment, you can save up for a "bigger F brother" if your garage/wife will allow, eh?
Ride safe & enjoy! |

He probably coulda sold it for 1500 bucks. All he did was wheel it out of his shed and set a for sale sign on it.
I took it home, cleaned and polished/waxed it up, took off the dumba$$ windshield and "sissy" bar it had on it...
Oh well, his loss is MY gain! |

Haha, now there's a true F'er!
And nice bike! At that price, it is very easy to justify some upgrades along the way! |

Nice man. I got my 750 for $900. I thought I got a killer deal. But yours actually looks nicer than mine. But mine did come with an extra set of side covers.  |

nice one.....just a thought though.....some nice AFE decals and 400F bars would really enhance it for about another $250...... 
these decals would look cool (get them here >) www.afegraphics.com

i know your bike is blue but Mark at AFE could redo the color of the decals to silver for a cool contrast |

Thats a very nice looking bike Andy. And for that price you've got a bargain.
Hope you have many safe miles with your F. |
