new friend to share garage with Storm

Well, inevitable happened - when I spotted CB750K2 for 650 euros I bought it...even if I just restore it and sell - still, what a pleasure

True classic bike that turned things around back then...

Engine is fine, suspension OK, frame and mechanics OK too. Only missing usual bits - emblems, logos, need entrely new paint, etc. But I am going to get it to perfect state...and then may be sell and buy Black Bomber

as those are really expensive nowadays.
But K2 is not cheap in Europe either...cheapest I found before was 2600 Euros in good, but not fully original state. And one I got even got papers in order.

Time to clean garage...

well, now it looks lik that (exhaust removed and stored separately)

but 1 day later I added insult to injury and finally bought bike for 2-up on any roads. This is one big b8stard, I hardly touching ground sitting on it.

Those Honda's were amazing bikes when they came out first, it's good to see one again

That BIG 800cc Suzuki has it got electric start

if not we will probably be seeing you over here in the UK very soon

Cheers,

Chris.

Yep, it is electric start and automatic decompressor.
Sound it makes is....scary, just scary.

Yes thats the one still a good bike in its day i'm sure it will still be fun to ride now.

I know what you mean about the Suzy i have ridden a Dominator 600 stripped for the fields, it had an Arrow pipe what a beast sounded unbelievable and very scary off road.
