    It's the sound that impressed me most. I could listen to him going through the gears all day long. Very few bikes sound like a SOHC Honda.

    • @ivanjulian2532
      @ivanjulian2532 3 года назад +3

      That's mostly a function of being air cooled rather than water cooled. It's also why air cooled boxer engines in the early 911 Porsche's sound the way they do.

      funny you would not think that a K model 750 honda with the double over head cam would out run the honda sport single over head cam i had a k model and put a hooker header and rerjet the carbs and never lost a race with the sport lol love my hooker lol

      If you like the 750 sohc check out the 350. Sounds like a f1. I have one. It’s not fast. But it sounds like it is.

    In 1976 I learned to ride on my older brothers relatively new `75 CB750 when he went of to Parris Island for a few weeks.
    Having owned/ridden a myriad of bikes since, I've always maintained I was spoiled by that bikes transmission... the first I was ever exposed to. Now hearing Jay say it too, I agree still. Few of the bikes I'm acquainted with are easier to get into neutral, especially once hot and stopped. Love this bike!

      Se7enAte Mods weren't covered, but it seems to be set up as a cruiser with long wheelbase, but with high performance tune (no data on headstock rake). Odd. It might make a good drag bike stripped. Yes, it looks very good. Probably suited best for short around home freeway blasts in dry weather, or as a light to light drag bike. Odd. Looks cool though.

  • @jacob14163

    From a previous owner of a 1979 Honda CB 750 k that was slightly modified to upgrade to alloy wheels and disc brakes all around, I absolutely love this build and will take a few of these ideas for my next CB 750 for sure. Great job it's gorgeous

  • @dreyn7780
    @dreyn7780 6 лет назад

    This vid gives me some kind of idea about what jay thinks of modifying things. It's important cause it gives people who tinker with objects, a few options which they may NEVER have seen before! The knowledge learned can free up people's lives, and that's a great thing for the human race to have! It's not to make people modify their bike cause most people already have that idea in their mind, but its about freeing up the restorers who've become unable to proceed with a project. The meeting of minds of people from all walks of life is needed by lots of people and this vid does that and doesn't force people to modify, it actually is a vid which gives people more unforeseen future life directions for people's lives. It's a great vid! It also shows how the back wheel is almost, and probably DOES hit the frame when in motion at some point. It's a problem both jay and the owner probably don't realise its there on the bike! Just seeing something in motion can greatly educate us all and we don't even realise it most of the time! Thanks again jay for the sharp video footage! That is also a gold mine for learning to us all!

I am not all that auto literate, but I am learning and I have the opportunity to enjoy watching Jay do his thing, something previously thought over and done with when again NBC pulled the plug. Thanks Jay!

    @tammyforbes2101 6 лет назад

    This takes me back. My father had a 1978 CB750FOUR K when I was a kid I used to set on the tank and drive it with him doing the leaning of course I was 4-5 years old when he first got it. Then when I turned 15 I bought a 1974 CB550FourK that my cousin had kept at the Kentucky horse park 25 years and it only had 600 miles on it and he had full fairings, crash bar, headers and full dual exhaust, after market tail lights and turn signals, saddle bags, and a new seat with sissy bar. It was loaded and just like brand new. Apparently he laid it over on the crash bar and burned his leg a month after buying it and never rode it again just maintained it. He had put new carbs and coil and wire and ignition box on it before I bought it to get it running right and it lasted for years. I beat the ever loving piss out of that bike with me being 6’2” 240 pounds and a young strong kid growing up in dirt bikes.

    Had a '73 CB450 modded to 500cc, ported, polished, high perf cams, huge Mikuni carbs. Damn thing idled at 2k & would run 10-12k rpm all day. Truly Amazing. Soon after bought another just to go back to the stock head so it was daily drivable. Changed heads a couple of times a year just to ride like the devil then back to reasonable !!

    Back in late ‘70’s I had friends with old and newer Honda 750’s (60’s, 70’s). I had a new SuzukiGS 750 (‘77) that could blow them away, and they new it cause they rode mine. Then about 6-7 years ago met an older guy riding across country on an old (s.o.c.) Hda cafe racer gray/silver, dropped sm. bars, big carbs, 4-1 headers, etc. He said it did: 7.3 in 8th, and 13.8 in 1/4, top end 12O. Looked real nice! By the way- 105,000+ on engine/bike....

  • @jamesdaltrey2878

    Nice work indeed.............i came just to hear that sound which i know so well and could never forget ! ! I had a CB750K 1969.....4 into 1 exhaust with i think one CB 350 tail pipe as silencer.....sounded incredible , monstrous ! Bought it in L.A for 300$ back in 1988 ! I bought it and one week later rode it to New Orleans in 3 and a half days ! Somehow i managed to avoid the Smokies eyes all the way...dont ask me how ?? I think this could be some sort of record no?? I slept but twice, just so buzzed by the feeling of this bile and the open road before me.....Interstate10 )) It ran the whole way with no issues other than a chain that began to slip due to stretching !! Was 50 plus degrees going through Arizona no sign of this old lady overheating ...was crazy reliable ! I had to leave it behind sadly to go back to Britain as i had outstayed my visa ! Sold it like a fool.....for 50 busks more than i paid for it......was sickening .....some cop in Louisiana bought it....even gave him my beautiful red Old School Bell full face helmet and he immediately noticed the smell of pot when he put it on !!! lol but he just joked about it as he was stoked to steal that bike from me !! wish i could have kept that beautiful beast !!

    top dog back in the day for high performance parts for the CB750 was none other than Russ Collin's R.C. Engineering. CB750 with a 900+ big bore kit, golden rods, etc etc plus the 315 cam made for a serious street bike. Russ had kits up to 1080, RC big block, ported heads, weber carbs etc plus the ultimate 327 cam. Super cool and super power.

    My first bike was a CB550. It was a great little bike....until car pulled out in front of me and I folded the bike into the side of it, that was a bad day. It didn't stop me though, I bought a Yamaha RD 400 Daytona Special after that. That particular bike was my absolute favorite bike.

  • @GeoHvl
    @GeoHvl 4 года назад

    Here my I had a story. It was an1970 AMF Sportster custom-built Bobby, 1200, ported/polished opposed twin Mikuni, taller cams. It was a screamer ran with the Rice Rockets. I bought this bike in 1981 for $3000.00. Rode it for 12 years. To be honest it was for me only a 50-mile bike the tank was too small and it would cook you at red lights. But 20 to 100 in 5 seconds, scary fast. I sold it in 1993 for $9500.00. It was garaged and never out in the weather. It was a beautiful bike, it sucked to ride but while on it was a blast.

    I think it was CYCLE magazine that in the mid-70s did project "Gentleman's Express" using a CB550 ... the main thing I recall from that is that they fitted lower handle-bars and rear-set foot controls, thus creating - in Jay's description - an 'English' riding position.
