1981 Honda CB750K: Regular Car Reviews

selling my father's motorcycle he passed away has key and paperwork helmet and jacket included god bless Jamie five hundred OBO dude score [Music] [Music] nineteen dicks all standing but one came too soon and already it's going soft 1980s Honda cb750 s are the fastest motorcycles you can buy sub $1000 fastest good condition maintain title in hand ready to ride turn-key bikes and nobody is buying them because they're brown malaise era look into the Porta Potty Fruit of the Loom skidmark poo color the better wind jammer option is eight-track fresh and the single piston discs and drums are Dairy Bar Dada style which is unfortunate because unlike malaise era domestic cars Honda cb750 s in the 80s were engineering juggernauts even more so than the 1969 to 1975 first production single cam CB 750 s that everybody wants to restore or cafe racer out because CB 750 cafe bikes are still so they're powered by a seventy seven horsepower at 9,000 rpm in 50 pound feet of torque at 7000 rpm double cam inline four-cylinder air-cooled engine with four valves per cylinder with a gentle compression ratio of nine to 115 pierced nipples in poetry 101 this engine is fed by four carburetors which pushes this 580 pound wet bike down the quarter mile in twelve to twelve point seven seconds some CB 750 s are over 500 pounds some are under 500 pounds it depends on the options this bike has a lot of extra stuff on it so it's heavier but despite the weight it'll go on to a top speed of 120 to 124 miles an hour so if a 37 year old motorcycle has manufacturing and material standards equaling or surpassing modern bikes why do these touring bikes only command scooter prices on the second-hand market Brown yeah I know but it's more than that cb750 k's were in their day for yuppies and casuals gentlemanly types who wanted to wade into the motorcycle pool without getting their cuffs wet the chain guard and front sprocket cover let not one drop of chain lube or grease hit your trouser legs or shoes you could ride these bikes in suits and stay clean the engine dripped no oil the valves rarely needed adjustment and the carburetors stayed synchronized my dick is a dick be quick my dad wasn't bad dad so sad my scrotum there's a totem where is my closure in a high-speed modem and Honda's rear luggage system uses detachable suitcases the idea was that you would ride your clean quick and comfortable Honda cb750 to Harrisburg Airport MDT dismount detach your luggage from the side mounts or top case and swagger to the ticket counter like the handsome you are shall I go to Aspen or dare I say Telluride oh no ha ha my helmet is my carry-on hmm yes I'm a real good out tools well the cb750 was never meant to have street cred or even be cool in the 70s and 80s it was meant to sell and it made Honda Motor Company stacks and stacks upon stacks and stacks twiddle dinkler's which is a flip because in the 1920s through the war and into the 50s harley-davidson motorcycles were for the American gentleman while British bikes were for rebels a work at the home-improvement my boss is a cook so I never flush my dado go then Japanese bikes would the American nobility becoming the establishment leaving Harley to take the rebel role in its day a cb750 would walk a Harley 75 which was a thousand CC v-twin and today this 1981 CB 750 K will be too modern Harley 883 iron now after the tariff years and after the AMF years Harley took back the establishment position in society well at the same time marketing their products as rebellious you can't be both Harley and that's why classic Honda's like this CB 750 k took the rebel label back on the streets if not in marketing and certainly not in use market sales a heroin full mone talking hooded man boy tells me that the world is going to hell he then spits into the weeds but riding amylase era Honda 4 is a big fu to 30 year old boomers in their least oh I'm sorry financed Harley Road Kings hey what's up my Honda was made before you were born and it's just as fast and it costs less than your chrome dress-up kit look at this no vibration and still stable look look look take your hands off the bars no wobble no lane wandering nothing and it does this even with a shorter rake than modern cruisers cb750 sr stable but the short rake still retains the flick over maneuvering just like modern gold wings I mean you really have to think a cb750 the really sportbikes dressed up as cruisers and if you're a tall guy and the current crop of 250 s & 300 cc bikes are too small for you consider an 80 Honda inline 4 it doesn't have to be the 750 they've made other displacements of course but be careful though this may be more power than you can manage at first and I mean that 70 horsepower doesn't sound like much but this double cam engine will zap up to 10,000 rpm if you foolishly twist as if you're on a 250 cc bike so just slowly roll on and you'll be fine she wore a stringer shirt her bra was beige she glared at me speaking through her cigarette what's the matter don't you like girls other fun things about this bike spare fuses they give you spare fuses and they're mounted right on the handle right at the top of the handlebars like that I'll bet these are the original fuses to you also get a center stand center snore bike should have understands shouldn't just be BMW these days sundar stands are great you can lude the chain really easy and you can take off the rear wheel you don't have to pay extra prices at the matter that the local motorcycle place to change your tire if you're not a guy who does it yourself and you're our guy doesn't yourself that's so much easier but the turn signals don't have a clicker to turn them off you have to move the turn signal switch back to the center each time you're done turning or changing lanes that's kind of annoying you do get air adjustable front forks and the Vetter Windjammer fairing combo was so popular back in the day on ujm bikes it became a common dealer option but the only way cb750 s a peer cool or really become desirable is if their cafe doubt or if their customized because they just made so many of these things and I'm proving the rule because yeah I could buy one would be great but I don't want one why I see burlap sack mothers with a list of grievances and twisted ex-husbands and other states their children are in emotional support classes some of these children will grow up to write great music because I want to be seen as adventurous I want to be seen as exceptional I want to be outstanding not in standing I want people to think I'm suffering for my fun weird huh and cb750 serves her gosh darn perfect they're infuriating but they'll always be here for everyone anybody who wants a cheap functional motorcycle and we will see these bikes rolled deep into the 21st century alongside modern designs because cb7 50s just won't die [Music] still prefer [Music] as your blood drops the cheese inside my brownish boy I will drop that - there's peace in there DK you

Absolutely love how Brian's riding with no hands for such a long time.

I knew my VFR could probably go ~as close as long, but I just don't have the balls for it :D

[u/audreysjackets]

If I had the license this is the sort of bike I would buy. So cheap, so brown.

[u/AcidAssasin]

How do people feel about the more obscure reviews these days?

[u/IronTailFratley]

A close a review to my bike as I'm going to get :)

(Mines a 92' CB750 "Seven Fifty" F2N)

I'm looking at a family-owned CB250N as I write this. Such a beautiful machine, but riding bikes is so unsafe where I am due to shitty roads and inconsiderate drivers.

Hey mr Regular! You inspired me to buy a bike! I'm a proud owner of a 2015 125 cc chinese piece of crap (because in my country you can ride a 125 bike with a car licence if you have it for at least 3 years). It sucks and I love it.

[u/FishingForInsults]

This video is the ultimate tease. I live about 10 minutes away from some of the places they filmed this and missed the meet in Glenview because I was sick. One day...

[u/number__ten]

I can't place the light blue sedan at 1:19. Kind of looks like a crown Vic or a caprice but the tail lights don't look familiar.
