Man..Yanno i cant find a decent shape CB750 SOHC round here for less than 2500 bucks...I paid 450 for my 550, and kick myself for ever getting rid of it ( i got twice what i paid but had about 650 in it including the original price) I could prolly get near 3 times that now...ahh well..someday ill stumble on a Z1 for cheap...that will be my lottery..lol

Ya the 750's are not cheap and they are getting harder to find.
i lucked out on my GS.a lot of people know i like to buy and fix up these old bikes so they call me when they know of one for cheap and in good shape.most of my bikes have come from guys who wimp out when there girlfriends or wives tell them it has to go:-D.

[TheCafeKid]

thats exactly what happened with that 550..guys wife wanted the "death trap" out of the garage...lol

[Ironriot]

Same here. Well it belong to some guy down the road from me and I always saw it sitting neglected on the side of his house. Apparently he stopped riding after it spooked him so he sold it to me for $400. Apparently his wife was glad to see it go. When I went to pick it up she was like oh thank god you're taking it

I think Carpy buys them all ...lol..you ever seen pics of his back yard??? Its CB SOHC heaven...

[neil young]

no i havnt seen his backyard in any pics.
hes on the SOHC4 site but he dosnt post much.
i looked at his website though.pretty pricey

[TheCafeKid]

yeah but he goes buck @ss on them...they're polished to the teeth. Some even have the 836 bore kit on em. I just want to know how he makes his tanks..i know he doesnt build them completely by hand...they have to be addon to stock facades yanno?? Ive emailed him a couple times regarding having him build me one and on some other things and NEVER has he replied...kinda ****es me off cos for a long time he was a bit of an idol to me..

[neil young]

ya i agree with ya that he has built some badass cafes.and i would probably buy one over a decked out Harley.well maybe i shouldnt say that (have you seen the prices drop with the buck lately)
