Description
For Sale is my CB750 F2, SOHC engine, 1977, S reg, this is a genuine UK bike, with only 14, 800 miles on the clock. I believed this to be genuine. Just look at the condition.
As can be seen in the photos, the bike is in lovely condition and draws a crowd wherever it goes. Must be one of the nicest CB750 F2 bikes out there. The chrome is in fantastic condition, with no pitting or rust on any of it. Original black paint on the tank, rear pod and side panels in very nice condition. Note: the left side panel has a crack in it, which is an easy fix.
The bike was partially restored, I would say 13 years ago (the tyres looked new when I purchased the bike last year, but they were 13 years old, so I guess that was when it had a partial restoration 13 years ago, I have now fitted new tyres)
I have just spent a small fortune on the bike to recommission it after it has been on show for the last 4 years, it had not been used during that period. I don't think it has been used much since its partial restoration 13 years ago.
I have fitted 2 new Bridgestone tyres with less than 50 miles on them, new wheel bearing, new brake pads and brake fluid change, oil and filter change, new spark plugs, new electronic ignition from D Silvers @ £180, new Stanion tubes and fork seals, new petrol tap, new battery. New headlight unit with LED bulb, new LED flasher relay, with LED indicator bulbs fitted. I have changed many screws & bolts for the correct Honda ones. New Delkevic stainless exhaust system now fitted, new steering lock. Worth a mention, the seat is original and in fantastic condition. The original exhaust system comes with the bike, the silencer has a hole underneath, but it could easily be welded with a patch. The last photo shows the bike on show just before I purchased it; it shows the original exhaust fitted.
The only reason for the sale is that I need the space for my next project. The bike is registered Historic, so no tax or MOT needed.
Now for the not-so-good news: it sounds like the primary chain tensioner has lost some of its tension (weak spring), as the primary chain rattles on tick over. So that will need looking at. The price I'm asking accounts for that issue. The bike is in stunning condition, and a real bargain at £3, 500 even with the primary chain rattle.
The bike is in Storage at the moment; viewing will be in Funtington, which is west of Chichester, about 12 miles from Bognor Regis.
I have just reduced the price to £3250, I'm making a loss of £1750 on what the bike owes me. I just don't have the time or the space to sort the primary chain. A real bargain for someone else to take the project on.
I am now including the genuine Honda primary chains and Honda tensioner in this sale price, along with a full pattern gasket set along with the cam chain, rollers and chain guide, £420 worth of parts now included in this sale. So the next owner can get on with the repair. I will take this bike off the listing page if it's not sold by the end of November. The storage fee is due the 1st Dec, so the bike needs to sell before then. If it's not sold by then, I will keep it in storage and fix the bike over winter, and most likely keep it. But if I sell it in the summer, fixed, I will want £5, 750 for it. So if you want it, buy it before the end of this month and get it for £3, 250 with the parts and fix it yourself. But hurry if you want it.
Lovely condition UK bike, with very low miles.
