I've had bunches of 750s/ fav was hands down the 75 F model. great bike and lots of sneaky performance upgrades from factory. the k's, even the early ones IMHO are just turds performance wise comparatively.


fwiw, the last one i had i LITERALLY gave away it was so boring for what it was.
im very much 'over' them.

A little Norton 750, Honda 750, RD, kawi 500, Honda 550 track action......

I might give up. I write people asking a few questions, maybe a few more detailed pictures. They write back once saying sure no problem. Then I never hear back from them.

Maybe I just don't know how this is done.....do I just send them thousands in cash before knowing anything about the bike except some blurry craigs list picture.

Don't people write a prospective buyer back to tell them it's sold ? Is comman courtesy out the window now.

Seems like sellers and buyers have gotten more flakey as time passes; one used to be able to trust most based on their word alone; this seems to be the exception these days; another reason to like this board; most here are 100% stand up

I bought my H2B based upon pictures only, seller's description and recommendations from forum members here who knew the bike and it was exactly as represented. If I didn't have all that I would probably have to travel to look at it. Nothing like being there to see it for yourself.

On another note, and admittedly I am wet behind the ears all over again having been away from the hobby for about 35 years, but I don't quite understand the heat color on the exhaust pipes on that Honda in Orlando. I wonder if it's a replating job and the process was different than oem. Some bikes always seemed to get blue exhaust pipes but I don't remember seeing Hondas with that.

I would like to have another Honda just to have availability of something totally different to ride sometimes but based upon my experience with a 500 Four I had for a few years in the early seventies they are so smooth and quiet I can see where you could get bored with one after a while. A Kawasaki always keeps the ride interesting!

3 H2's, all stock
Seats by Tony O'Connor, they're gorgeous
H2B, converted to H2C
75 Paint & Decals by Brian H
75 Euro Seat by Tony O'Connor
Eldorado Motorcycle Seats, Australia

for the majority of the populous, it is.

OEM Honda pipes are double skinned so they don't blue

Regarding Ric's comments, my observation is that NOTHING gets done right first time these days... I think it's a byproduct of this new digital world we live in, or maybe we're just getting old & cantankerous!

I accept that...humbly & proudly..
