    looks like you could just get on it and ride it - say it owes you $7k or so. You have the option of flossying it up or not. I wouldnt bother I dont think - just ride it.
    If you were intending to ride it then condition looks perfectly acceptable.

    Only query would be if inside left pot is running right looking at the different colour on the header.

    What also concerns me is he says the car doesn't start properly.
    Maybe clueless is selling a number of vehicles and didn't bother to proof read add.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I suspect it's cos the carb mouths are filled with rags. And the electrical system is sort of falling out the left side. Just guessing though......

    OP does say he is listing it "on behalf".... but still.

    That hasn't run since the 90s at best.

    On behalf always sounds like Plausible Deniability . That said I've almost been roped into doing it.

    People seem to have a fluffy connection with reality and remember to when they used to own a going bike. Less the when it broke down, they tried to take a few things off. Lost those. Moved twice. Left it outside that one time (for a decade) then it lived piled under debris at the parents place until they died and now the brother is left selling it having looked up CB750 other sales trademe.

    Stop me when I get a detail wrong.

    Stop me, oh, stop me
    Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
    Stop me, oh, stop me
    Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
    Nothing's changed
    I still love you, oh, I still love you
    Only slightly, only slightly less than I used to, my love
    I was delayed, I was way-laid
    An emergency stop
    I smelt the last ten seconds of life
    I crashed down on the crossbar
    And the pain was enough to make a shy, bald, Buddhist reflect
    And plan a mass murder
    Who said I'd lied to her?
    Oh, who said I'd lied because I never? I never
    Who said I'd lied because I never?
    I was detained, I was restrained
    And broke my spleen and broke my knee
    And then he really laced into me
    Friday night in-out patients
    Who said I'd lied to her?
    Oh, who said I'd lied? Because I never, I never
    Who said I'd lied? Because I never
    And so I drank one
    It became four
    And when I fell on the floor
    I drank more
    Stop me, oh, stop me
    Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before.


    So yeah. Bike probably hasn't run since that was released.

    So do a lot of old farts who used to buy these things for a few hundred dollars and still expect to be able to, the worlds moved on, you buy at that price if you really want one or you may wait a long time for another one depending on how common they are or next time you look the price is even higher

    Difficult to know what an asking price might be. I've never heard of another one.

    Ahh look here is my pet peev multiple bikes. But unlike the others he does say he will do a deal so message him, ok he will separate and I see he has the best one separated in another listing so this isn't an insane market strategy.

    The reason I highlighted this, apart from who would buy 10 grand of these, is. . .
    Why did he?
    I mean he's realised that he is was a Gunna, and he's never Gunna get aroundtoit.
    But how long has he tied up good money and stored these? What did he intend for them. Was he going to invite friends around to get drunk and play moto ball in a wet paddock?
    Why did he keep going? I mean it's not like these things have been easy to obtain since the 80s.

    And why is this thing worth 8 grand?

    https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/m...ing/5618195118

    I mean that coin will buy a nice dirtbike. Like a modern one that is 400kg lighter. These are sturdy dependable robust. All things you say about a bike when trying to avoid the direct comparison to bikes better at actually riding in the dirt. Not registered so can't claim any benefit there and sludge oil from a decade ago could plug up oil ways when you recommission it.

    the works bike of that era where 4's the customer racer were based on the cb77 and CB72 but they were whilst based on the cb72 and 77 weree DOHC 4 valves a cylinder CR72 and CR77 like the scaled-up version of the Cr110 and CR93's. i think they semi supported some on the twins.
    the 125 and the 50 were available in road-going trim models.
    Honda did some rsc parts but most were pops Yoshi.
    In Cycle world years a go there was a us collector that had a whole set .
