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... :wink:

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.
