Thread: Bike Porn - Regardless of the motor, Show off your "two wheeled" beasties

, so this was the true NZ version in 750. Sometimes in silver but 95% of the time in this color. It was a bored out version of the 650 motor.
Little fog light underneath the main head light.
If you are into details it was hampered by a rear drum brake , had a very early version of anti dive. It was a weird mix. The XJ550 was a serious production race bike. The 650 never cut cut it in the 750cc class but was an excellent middle weight road bike. The 750 was a good bike but got lost. It didn't do anything the 650 didn't do and never really was a serious weapon in the 750 class.

Good to see a CT125 @Southcity on here. They're great wee bikes.

They are an awesome wee bike. I upgraded the suspension to Ohlins all round which improves the ride. The only complaint in my book is the hard seat!! Not a lot better than a slab of concrete.

Agree. The seat definitely feels like a slab lol. I like to sit quite far back on mine and made this with stuff I had lying around. Problem fixed.

My 1970 Honda CB750 Four, was the old man's until he passed away late last year.

Very tidy. That's an heirloom item if I ever saw one.

Good lord...that's a genuine KO Honda Four. It's worth about as much as my house!

Great old girl. One of the ground-breaking bikes in motorcycle history with mass production of the in-line four stroke 4s.

A delight to ride. Mine was a 1976 CB750F model and was the Jap 750 I enjoyed most (esp for long rides) - more than my Suzi, Yamaha etc. Mmmm...

I could never leave my mate too far behind on his F1. Mine was the first Z1000 Kawasaki.

Best bike I ever had, not trying to be a Harley, just a V4, which is half a V8, as my mum said.

Red Helmet, so cars can see me.

New toys in the shed, the harley will be getting vinyl wrapped as its already attracting some unwanted attention in Hastings. Both good fun in different ways. Husqvarna te510, going to put some dual terrain tyres on it and hit the gravel roads. The harley is a 2019 fxdr 117 cubic inch, sitting on 135 hp... i know not huge numbers but not bad for a harley haha

Awesome. One of those was my first 4 stroke. Loved it and had some great rides on it.

In many ways, more practical than my 1980 CBX thou. Should have bought one instead.

Haven't got any photos that I can find buy had a CB350 twin. What a crack up that bike was, slow but a lot of fun.

Hard case, they've made a modern version for India.
