This looks like fun (CB750)

everything but the seat.
And don't you dare try to stick a new Nighthawk motor in that thing.

No time, not enough money. Some day, maybe.

if thats the plan why not dig up a magna or a madura? maybe a naked goldwing?

Awesome. Get it!

For what he wants to do, that sounds like a better choice.
I love those unplasticky Goldwings.

I just really like CB750's, though. Smaller, more maneuverable, and with a later model engine, zero-maintenance valves. That's what I loved about my Nighthawk: oil/filter changes, new plugs once in a while and that was it.

It actually makes more sense right now to just buy another Nighthawk. Ugly, but cheaper than rebuilding an old bike and I'm finding several with less than 10K miles. Not *so* bad in black...

hrm another option might be a v65 sabre
