Honda CB description

1976 HONDA CB750K6


This offering is for one, completely restored 1976 CB750K6, VIN number CB750-2567568, engine serial number CB750E-2457049.  


I'm truly having a hard time letting "Little Blue" go, but it's time to find her a new home. This bike was restored from a very nice original low mileage 750.  My goal in restoring it, was to give it a sporty feel and look with a few bolt on changes, but I kept it as true to a 750 as possible. It could be taken further down the Brat/Cafe path, or easily made original... better yet, ride the heck out of it just like it is! It never fails to turn heads. This would make an excellent steed for the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride next year!  


The overall condition of the bike before restoration was very good.

Note- The bike was purchased with the wrapped MAC exhaust.


  • Top Overhaul was performed on the engine

  • Cylinders and pistons were standard size and new rings were installed

  • Head and barrel surfaces excellent. 
  • APE heavy duty cylinder studs installed

  • Dyna S electronic ignition, new coils, new spark plug wires and NGK spark plugs installed for reliability and little to no maintenance.  Starts on first crank or kick.



Frame, Wheels, Brakes, Fenders and Swing Arm

  • Frame was checked and verified for straightness

  • Wheel rims cleaned and polished with new tires and tubes installed

Electrical

  • New main wiring harness installed

  • ALL electrics WORK!

  • Beautiful New Yamiya Tank and side covers!!!

Note - The fuel selector valve is located on the right side instead of the left.


Front Forks

Honda’s New Documentary: Dreams vs Nightmares [trailer]

Wed, 24 Jun 2009

Honda have been releasing video documentaries on… well… everything!  Why?  Well to toot their own horn and remind you that Honda is crazy cool. Actually, their videos aren’t that bad, although somewhat dramatic.  I hunkered down and watched their “Failure: The Secret to Success” video and it held my attention. Their new video is titled “Dreams vs Nightmares”, which features a few notable people such as Clive Barker and Deepak Chopra.  I’m curious to see how they take this theme and use it to show how and why Honda creates and designs the products they make.

Frog eBike – the Electric Successor to 1985 Frog FZ750 Concept

Tue, 03 Apr 2012

San Francisco-based Frog Design released images of a new electric motorcycle concept, just as its influential Yamaha FZ750-based Rana concept gets enshrined at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Frog designer Jin Soek Hwang prepared the Frog eBike concept as an expression of how electric motor technology can influence motorcycle design. In a post on Frog’s blog, the designer says he was inspired in part by Frog’s 1985 FZ750 Rana concept (pictured after the jump).
