Vehicle Detail
I found this classic 1971 CB750 one owner bike at an estate auction. The owner bought it new in 1971, but when he got married in 1977 his wife said he could not ride the bike. Instead of selling it, he hid it at his mothers house until she had to go to a nursing home. So when they had the estate auction he decided to sell it. The owner drained all the gas from the tank in 1977 and the inside of the tank looked new when I inspected it. After bringing the bike home I couldn't resist the temptation of wondering if it would start, so I took the battery out of the bike I ride and poured a gallon of gas in the tank. To my surprise it fired right up. The floats seem to be sticking a little, but it starts right up and runs with no problem. If you are wanting an old CB750, don't miss your chance on this one. You will have a hard time finding another in original unmolested condition like this. It only has 7792 actual miles on it.
