Don't be a dick, be a dude!

Congrats to y'all for 2 consecutive championships though! Glad to keep it SEC!

Also, found this. Painted tins and exhaust and no front fender... but no chops and not too far from stock and ready to ride.

I think we can all blame Discovery Channel's "Cafe Racer" for upping the demand and price of all mid 70s and earlier bikes. A lot of nice examples getting chopped up now too. I won't do anything that isn't reversible unless dealing with a basketcase.

I bought a 76 CB750F for $900 with a rebuilt motor 2 years ago. Bike needed to be completely restored so I turned it in to a cafe bike. Heaviest
bike engine I ever lifted :o took two of us to get it out of the frame. There great running engines ounce you throw away the points and put in a proper
electronic ignition. It looked cool but to heavy and slow for me, had $2000 into it and sold for $3800. Was happy to see it on the back of somebody's
truck. :D

that 1970 is a 1969 sold in 1970 first year if the frame and motor are under 7,100 range its a sandcast model and thats cheap that bike could bring in 10k plus if sandcast check it out.

I've looked at some 30 or 40 bikes on Craig's List.

I don't think I can take it any more. The things people can do to a beautiful machine is just sickening. What is going through peoples minds is just beyond me. How one can put ape hangers and a five foot sissy bar on one of these is mystifying: bobbers, choppers, cafe, racked, lowered, road killers, draggers some of the biggest pieces of crap I ever saw. I did run across a couple nice cafe and even a bobber. But the rest were just nauseating; disgusting, loathingly stupid in every way.

A CB 750 without the four exhausts isn't the real thing.
