    my dream bike is not a BMW S1000R or anything fancy my dram bike is to be able to build a old one up and make it my own just like you did here. beautiful job and beautiful bike. one day when i can collect the finances i will begin my own cafe project and you really inspired me with this. thank you

      Look, I just bought a CB750 for $600, of course transforming it to a cafe racer will be way more, but its a work in progress, if you go to ebay, yu can find bikes from $400, you might need to work on the motor but thats part of the journey, I guess what I am saying, coming from a Harley with almost half its value in aftermarket parts put into it, these should prove most rewarding at a reasonable price and btw, I will trust any map bike even if its 35 years old over a new harley once its tuned up properly. Go for your dream! you only live once!

    So nice to see a build that retains the stock exhaust,first things to be tossed out usually. Adds to the over all beauty of the bike. Bravo!

    How in the f**k do 185 people not like this video?!?!?! Beautiful motorcycle and an inspiring vid. It's getting me out in the garage to start working on my project. Love the way you designed the tail section.

  • @orangelion03
    @orangelion03 10 років тому +1

    Outstanding work! Gorgeous. I really like how you kept the four pipe exhaust...always thought that was one of the features that made these CBs so attractive. Well done.

    I am a huge Chris Rea fan and have been for many long years. This track is "Working On It". Found on "New Light through Old Windows" his wonderful best of album which I proudly own on CD, vinyl and cassette !
    Like the bike too !

  • @rustonlohmeyer5893

    One of the best cafe racer builds I've seen. Would love to have a bike like this.

  • @paredding
    @paredding 9 років тому

    Nice. Did similar back in 1978 with my 750/4 K2 ie chrome can cover, engine casings and matt black fins + chrome fork stanchions. But kept the rest original. As someone mentioned, if they are the original pipes = worth big bucks. Seriously considering buying another after all this time. One of the true 70's classic bikes. Good one.

    Young Man, if you're not proud of the work and how it turned out, I'd be WAY MORE than happy to take it off your hands!!!! Kinda reminds me of '74 750/4 I use to own a long, long time ago. Mine was raked out further in the front and I had the foot controls on the passenger pegs. She ran "like a cats ass on fire"!!! Nice job!

    Nice job. I'm old enough to remember when these bikes first came out. A friend of mine had a gold 1970. I had a 79 750K. Many consider the 69 CB750 the first super bike. Hard to disagree with that.

    • @cannasutra1
      @cannasutra1 10 років тому +1

      Sebastián Demaría"first" not second. the 69 750 was definatly the first super bike.

  • @bunnys1980
    @bunnys1980 10 років тому

    The look of the bike is absolutely amazing, I cant like it enough. Its sick!!!

  • @TheCarablanco
    @TheCarablanco 10 років тому

    I used to own a CB 750 SuperSport, got it half wrecked and kept it running for years... I think it was a '79, DOHC? Still had both the kick and electrical start, dual front disc's, comstar wheels, and the longer higher capacity gas tank. Aftermarket exhaust, jet kit for the carbs, and K&N filters with 3/4" velocity stacks if memory serves me right. It was a great "sleeper" bike. I could kick myself for losing it. Excellent project and beautiful result. ~ S ~
