So I sold the Bandit (which is still my ava-wotsit picture) a few months ago but after sitting in traffic watching far to many bikes go past I decided that I needed another one but wanted something cheap and with 'potential' (as I've recently taken a liking to 'café' styled bikes but didn't want to ruin something valuable).
Watched eBay and the 'For Sale' section on here for a while but nothing really came up. Then after a bit of a more in-depth search (bored Sunday evening) found a CB750 on eBay for £500 with no bids. Seemed like a reasonable bike for that money but expected it to go for more (although prices of them does seem to fluctuate a lot). Anyway, it didn't sell so we went to see him, didn't go crazy with the haggling and ended up agreeing £450. Bike has both tax and MOT so should be some cheap motoring for the summer which is all I ask of it at the moment....

Its defiantly rough around the edges, but that'll do me fine |

well congrats on the purchase! Subframe does look a bit twisted though
On a side note, why have you bothered to link ebay in your post? or is this some automatic shennanigans that I have missed? |

Rusty in places. The previous owner really wanted to sell the bike, no reserve @ auction? ____________________ "Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase.

Agreed,
On the battery front, you can get those multi-cell batteries now, so just get one and stick it under the seat, out of view.
Then get a sticky number plate and put it on the back. |
