I'm going to go look at another bike that I really don't need but for $200, I may shine her up and sell it or keep it. The only problem is it is a 1976 Honda CB750. I've never owned a Honda before, but it has a clear title and the guy said it looks pretty good. It hasn't ran in a while and it sat outside but the guy said it wasn't stuck.

What would you guys do? I know it's not a KZ but if I sell it, it can fund my search for the KZ I'm looking for, lol.

Guitargeek,
That is the exact road I was thinking about heading down if I decided to keep it if I did buy it.
Thanks for the link, I found a lot of stuff that I liked on there.

I talked to the guy again before going to his house and he told me that at one point in time the motor was locked up but he has gotten it freed up now. This makes me a little nervous. Is there any chance that it didn't screw the cylinders up really bad or would it most likely need a rebuild?

If it's been stuck, you could run it as a RatBike. Isn't a bit of oil smoke expected in that genre. Other that that it's either part it out or rebuild.

I bet you could make money on E-Bay.
