You can find a nice restored later model year 72 - 76 for that kind of money in the US if you have patience.
But a 70 model is more collectabile, and if your luck is like mine, you won't be able to find a better deal on a similar model till AFTER you buy this one!
Check for signs of a leaking head gasket (most have one or will) and talk him down if you can, and go for it.

well guys, I did get the 750 before Christmas, getting at it....I guess it's a complete resto too.....it's half apart, and I'm just now thinking it looks like a lot of work!! But oh, the sound of those 4 pipes!!!!

I have 7 or 8 cb750's.
Yes those are Dream tank pads
If you happen to be looking for parts I might be able to help you out. I have some NOS but most would be used.

oh you guys!! 7 or 8 750's??? It's a disease!!
Mine has 14,000 on the speedo, if it's correct, and by the look of it I believe it is....hard to tell though. hey Hahnda, Ive bought a bunch of stuff, handlebars, grips, stator cover, sprocket cover, got a used headlight bucket and top triple tree, but there was a tiny accident up top and, although I may get them straightened out, my fork ears (headlight ears) are a bit of a mess....they're a little scarce for the K0 on e-Bay. Missed a set that went for $85.
Seems to be quite a few of us with these Honda's and the 750's...Are you guys on the SOHC site? I see some familiar faces on both forums. Logical progression I guess. Thanks, John

Yep I'm on the SOHC site.
I have a NOS right ear in primer. Not cheap though...
$85 for a pair would have been a pretty good deal.

hmmm. I'll see if mine are repairable...I'll have them off maybe tomorrow. Yeah $85 was a good price, they we're perfect either though.
