What have I got??

**hondaman** · 8th June 2007, 14:46

Called around to my missus's aunty the other day. First time Id been there or met the aunty. Bike on lawn at the back of the house. Its got a blue tarp over it. Have coffee in kitchen with this lady. Missus goes outside with her cousin to talk. They sit beside the bike. Finishes coffee and goes outside for a smoke. Head towards direction of bike. Aunt goes, "Do you ride bikes?" "I do, I do", said I. "This one belonged to my husband, he pasted away some years ago, and its been sitting under that tarp for 4 years now", her said.
All I could see was the lower half of the wheels, so I wasnt sure of the make and model. My missus then pipes up and says, " Hondaman wants to get another bike". Aunty goes, "If you want this one, you can have it, I want it off the property." Heart starts beating faster. Wow I thought. "What make is it?", I ask, moving towards the ropes on the tarp to reveal my prize. She didnt know. That was soon revealed when the tarp came off. WOW. A Honda cb750f with a full fairing on it. Aren't I a lucky boy then?
"YES, I said. "Thank you".
Had it picked up and pulled down in the blinking of an eye. He He He.
Sent the frame and fairing frame to Nigel at ABC sandblasting in Patiki road. Lots of cleaning and polishing to do. Im gonna take some cakes next time I have coffee with THAT aunty.
Frame: RCO4 - 1042309
Engine: RCO1E - 4306492.
Dont know the year, but I want to.
between 1979-82 probably.
Fairing had the word Integra on it.
dohc, comstar wheels, air assisted front forks, triple disk brakes.
Watch for me on the road this summer. YAHOOOO.......

God has given you a gift. Use it wisely.

And welcome to the site.

**Bend-it** · 8th June 2007, 15:02

Integra?? Isn't that a car?

**Storm** · 8th June 2007, 15:02

Well done that man. PM Bonez- he's your man for that sort of stuff.
Welcome to the nuthouse

Oh, and do something nice for someone quick to pay back the karma balance

**vifferman** · 8th June 2007, 15:22

It's a 1984 (that's the 'E' on the frame) CB 750 F.

**hondaman** · 8th June 2007, 15:52

The "E" is part of the engine numbers, not the frame. As in Engine: RCO1E-4306492. Hope you are right though. That means Ive gained a couple of years. Ill post some photos of the fairing/side covers, instrument panel and rear light assembly to see if that will help. Cheers for your comments.

You lucky bastard! Best you give some bloody good support to the Auntie then mate, and do something special for someone else.

**hondaman** · 8th June 2007, 16:25

Just snapped some photos of the parts. It might help. Shes done 60,000kms. Dont know if any major work done on it. Looks in good nick. No telltale oil seepage through any of the engine caskets.

**hondaman** · 8th June 2007, 16:37

Funny you should say that, cause I do own a honda integra Quint 1986. its my favourite long distance car.

Omigod!

It's pharkn exploded!

Doesn't matter if I got the loaction of the "E" worngA; according to the Interdweeb, it means it's an '84.

Would be quite a nice bike for its age if the engine is OK. The 900 version of that time was a damn good bike but the 750 won't be too bad.

**bistard** · 8th June 2007, 17:30

yes,great bike,back in the day I had a CB750F,a black one & was a good allrounder back then,that must be almost one of the last of them,Honda used that same fairing on the Pro lonk model CBX1000 six cylinder
If it has been sitting that long,watch out for rusted/pitted forks,throw away the poxy FVQ (fade very quickly) rear shocks,redo brake lines all that other stuff,I am sure you know about & you will have agreat bike at an even better price
GOOD SCORE!!
