Beautiful, Low Mileage CB 750F I purchased this bike in July 2005 from a seller in eastern Washington (reportedly the second owner). Based on what the seller told me at that time, the bike was ridden and stored only in the dry climate of eastern Washington. The seller indicated he rode the bike a few times but was not really into motorcycle riding so he parked it in 1995, which is the last year the bike was licensed for on road use. He also stated that when not being ridden the bike was stored in his garage. For the past 10 years the bike has been stored in my heated garage. During this time I started the bike on several occasions and swapped out the fuel every year or so, but never rode it further than the end of our long driveway (added maybe 10 miles total). I have also done a limited amount of work on the bike. The brakes were seized when I bought it so I disassembled the calipers, replaced the seals and put in new brake fluid. The oil and oil filter have both been changed. One of the main jets plugged, so I recently stripped down all four carbs, cleaned everything, installed four new float needle valves and reassembled. Installed a new battery about two months ago. While cleaning the bike to get it ready to sell I didn't spot anything that looked like an aftermarket part or add-on. Most of the factory applied torque seals (yellow paint) on nuts and bolts are unbroken. There are no leaks and no rust to speak of. In order to keep the bike in as original conditions as possible, I have not attempted to touch up any of the small scratches/dings which are present, buff out the minor corrosion on the engine and transmission covers, or replace the original tires or exhaust pipes - assuming that if a collector purchased the bike he or she may want it in an unrestored but clean condition. The owners manual, tool kit and two factory keys go with the bike. Due to the age of the tires they are not safe to run on the street. Please email if you have questions about the bike or would like closeups and/or additional pictures of specific features not shown in this post. Note: To avoid any confusion, please review payment & shipping requirements before bidding.
