hi Sir for what concerne the matriculation was it already in order when you bought it? I mean when you buy something as barn find do you have to be in order with all the documents like new to let her ride on the road?
@@humbertholzmann674 In my state you need proof of ownership which is a title. Then once you pass a safety inspection and provide insurance you can ride on the road. The first ride around town in this video is not legal technically but I'm not going far and officers are usually understanding if you are honest
Thank you so much for not turning that into yet another cafe racer. These bikes deserve to be cherished. I have had five of them in my lifetime. Bravo, sir!
I second not turning it into a cafe racer! That is what you do to a wrecked bike. Cafe racer to me means the bike has been wrecked and pieced back together and will be a problem in the long run. My daughter bought a almost new bike that was converted and she has had nothing but problems with the hacked electrical system. I owned a salvaged one of these back in the seventies and they kept it stock and I never had a bit of trouble with it and if I did I could go to the dealer for parts and service.
@@macplus3339 that comes down to the builder of the bike. Everyone likes to picture the bikes that are built by amateurs and say that is all of them. Not the case. I build a mean and well sorted custom bike and of course we like to use the cleanest bike that is right for the job. A wreck just means you spend more time repairing/painting/etc than you would by starting with a better bike.
Amazing job putting this together.

I know how much effort goes into bringing these bikes back to life, but that’s where the fun is, I have a 76 gt750 Suzuki which I’ve had for 27 years, beck in 2013 it blew a head gasket & the usual stuff of life getting in the way,5 years later I pulled the cover off & thought £@@k,5 hours later it was stripped to nothing, had the frame powder coated, replaced the crank seals, had the wheels & clocks restored, then spent the next 18 months getting it back up & running,best thing I’d done in ages, I put a few clips of it running on my UA-cam channel,
@@ACECafeBikes I sold it a few years back because I got really frustrated with it, one day it would run like a top, the next day it wouldn’t start or it would run really rough, looking back I should’ve persevered with it,completely original bike apart from the exhaust
You have just made a old man happy repairing that Honda 750, just putting the headlamp back on put the smile back on the bike.You are a very talented person. I had one in my early years of life I am in my 70s now. God I loved it. Best regards from the U.K.
Me too. I had a '73 that I bought new in '74 for $2,000, drove it across the continent twice and then sold it for $1,000 twelve years later with 83K miles on it. I've regretted it ever since, although I had too many job changes and school changes to have kept it so I had to sell it.
I have a 1975 sitting in my barn that I bought brand new. It has been sitting there since 1988. I keep saying I’m gonna get it running again. It was running great like always, the day I parked it.
I love the pace and flow of this video. No words need to be spoken! Great job. I rebuilt a Honda 160 Scrambler back in my younger days. I’m now 80 and I sure wish I still had her.
My first motorcycle was a 1966 CB160. I've had a LOT of bikes now at 70 years old, but I think that was my favorite. It gave me freedom at 14 years old.
As a father of two girls (now young women) and a lifelong biker, I cheer whenever I see a young man with an interest in motorcycles and good manual skills. There’s hope for my daughters yet. Not all of todays young men are on social media to the exclusion of real world interests.
My brother bought a 1970 and I bought the 71...Honda 750. When they first came out. Dumped my English bikes and have loved Honda ever since. Nicely done.
I was 20 at that time and the CB750 was THE bike at that time. Now, 45 years older I drive still a 750, but with the more modern technology. Breaks, Frame and so, everything is a bit better. It's a 'clone' from the CB 750, called 'seven fifty'. I think they bury me one day with that bike.
@@franzinauen8443 Looks like a magna! I've had 2. An 83 and an 85 I think. Problem with the magna is the front end was too short. It'd start to shimmy at around 95mph I think it'd have handled better (like the 750 four) with extended forks. The magna has 6 gears. Just for kicks, I thought I'd see what it'd do as far as low end. 1st gear 65mph, 2nd 85, 3rd 105, and with 3 gears to go, I shut her down. "Because of the shimmy"
Thank you much! Let me tell ya its not like I havent screwed stuff up. I learn by doing. Like many I wanted a cafe some years back and started with a kz750 twin, then cx, gs550s, cb750s, and more. Just experience over time
@@BrickHouseBuilds Well you've taught everyone so much and your videography is top notch. I have an old bike and channels like yours are helping me get it back on the road.
When I was 18 years old I worked two years of Sunday’s at a gas station to pay for my 1972 cb750 I was a third owner of this bike, now at 67 I have to let her go, still in perfect condition,runs like a top. Many memories on this ,loved your video
I think of all the episodes that I’ve watched on your channel so far, this is hands-down my absolute favorite. You did such a great job with the editing and the flow in the presentation. Just excellent 🫵🏻👍🏻👊🏻
You approach restoring these old bikes just like I do. My last restore was a bone stock 1968 XLCH bringing it back to life after 36 years. I see you have the same passion! Just a great job keeping the patina and vintage character of this great iconic 750 Honda, THE model that put the motorcycle industry on its ear and set a new world standard. This is the very machine that changed everything! I am old enough to testify to this fact. My XLCH was the Super bike of its time until the Honda 750 Four came on the scene in 1969. When I was 20, I worked as a Honda Mechanic and bought my 1976 Honda 750 SuperSport at a discount off the showroom floor. Knocked it out of the crate during my lunch hour and blew through the assembly in record time. I rode it home that evening. My boss asked me why I didn’t work that fast on the customers bikes…lol. I ended up quitting a few weeks later, packed up my New 750 four and did a 3 month road trip to the Florida Keys. A leather jacket, wool sweater, jeans, a $19 dollar Helmet I bought at K mart and my cowboy boots and $500 dollars in my pocket. No cell phones back then, no charge card, no camping gear, no nothing! But a big hunting knife. That 750 four was incredibly reliable. The only reason I had to return home was lack of money for food and fuel. Lost 33 pounds on that road trip from 150 lbs.to only 127 lbs. after I returned and made it back home with only $14 dollars! Saved all the money for fuel… lol
I'm 58 years old and remember everyone had either a CB 550 OR 750 back in the day. Great bikes and a very cool rescue you have done. New to the channel, Hello from Boston.
I had one of these when I was 18, now I am 61, these bikes were so common in the early 80`s I worked at a chrome plating shop in my teens, they had what they called a 750 Honda exchange, you brought in your engine covers and you walked out with chrome ones instantly, we had a showcase full of em, then we polished and plated your old ones and put them in the showcase for the next guy. I know every piece of aluminum on that bike, we plated the valve cover, timing cover, trans, tappet covers, lower legs, triple trees, you name it. Well I worked at a plating shop so my bike was all chromed out, we had a guy who did painting for us, so he painted mine candy apple red, with gold leaf pin stripe, it was a chore to keep clean, boy I wish I still had it, I traded it for a Kawasaki 900, loved the video.
Well thank you much! I have a couple more timelapse style videos and all are taken from full episodes of building/reviving bikes. Should be plenty more to enjoy
Fantastic work, a very sympathetic restoration, I'm really pleased you left the bumps and scratches, all part of the bike's life story. I had one of these in the eighties and its still one of my fondest memories of riding. Brought a tear to an old man's eye. Ride safe brother!
What a truly inspirational young man , his talents are extraordinary , how refreshing to know that this level of talent and accomplishment still exist in the world thank you for sharing this ,
Although I have no talent for restoring old motorcycles or even working on my own Honda Goldwing, I can certainly tell a master motorcycle mechanic and restoration specialist when I see one. I just stumbled upon one today and it was mesmerizing watching you take that old relic and bring it back to life. Wish more folks had your skills and passion for doing this kind of work. I know there are others out there, but I doubt there are too many better at this than you. Kudos, and thanks for the great content.
He had a lot of help. The bike was just waiting for someone like him to come along and bring it back to life using TLC. It sat there all these years just waiting. Thanks for the memories.
I watched the video from the beginning to the end and I loved it, I love seeing those old bikes come back to life. The bike is a beauty, you did an amazing job, I highlight the smart repair you did to the fuel tank, very clever Thanks for sharing and enjoy your motorcycle 🙂
It is always refreshing to see a classic being given a second chance at life. I have a '78 Yamaha DT175 Enduro that I am slowly bringing back to life and watching this video is definitely plenty of motivation for me. Great job.
i really appreciate your methods. Logical and thorough. Little things like CLEANING the parts, rebuilding the parts, etc... make it so enjoyable to watch. Not just getting it to run, like that guy in Pennsylvania. ;)
@@BrickHouseBuilds Haha, I don't own a motorcycle, nor do I know anything about being a mechanic. For some reason, these videos started coming up in my YT feed and I started watching. Now a month later, I'm getting the urge to buy a beater and fix it up! 🤡🤡🤡
Well done sir! This was an awesome trip down memory lane for me. My first bike was a 1971 CB350, and my second was a 1977 CB750 Supersport. That was many moons ago, but I still remember them both like it was yesterday. Your meticulous attention is to be admired.
An absolute pleasure to watch.... In this disposable age, seeing you give that old machine a new lease on life is something special. I hope you enjoy her for many years to come. All the best from England.
Beautiful workmanship, fantastic barn find and sympathetic restoration. Total respect of your skills, and ability to maintain high mechanical standards whilst keeping the patina. Awesome motorcycle.
I’ve watched and listened to some of the greatest symphonic conductors, instrumental soloists and serious Ted Talks in my time and I think your abilities as a mechanic, critical thinker and all around problem solver are in that same exact league! Bravo! I was sad when the video ended. it was mesmerizing, entertaining and inspiring! Congratulations!
Great condensation of previous rebuild videos. Both versions are captivating. There are just so many skills displayed - great respect! Amazing transformation from a $100 barn find!
I have a 72. Its been sitting since 92. Instead of a barn find its a corn crib find. I've owned it since 90. I'm going to start that project soon. Thank you for the video.
Just was browsing and ran across your video. So,glad I did! It was like seeing a old friend again. A Honda CB750 was my first bike as a teenager. For a a little while I felt 17 again. Thank you for saving this bike and the stroll down memory lane.
Wow, wow and WOW! A work of art, skill and love. Thank you for this. I had a CB750 back in 1971. Took it on a 3 months summer camping tour from the UK, across Europe and down to Greece. Watching your video production invoked beautiful memories of this and my younger days. Thank you so much. Kudos. 👍
Joined your channel this morning . As a retired auto technician this was an absolute pleasure to watch . I wish you nothing but success in these adventures. I’m looking forward to watching .
@@BrickHouseBuilds I agree wholeheartedly.I have a 750 four sitting in the woods about 2 hrs. away and this video really built a fire under me to go get it out and see if I can revive it.Thanks for your inspiration !
I had a '74 750. I put ~150 K miles on it. Great engineering on that machine. Did 1100 miles one day coming back from FL. in 1981. Kept it another 13 years and finally gave it to a friend.
Fantastic rebirth of the iconic first super bike. Great to see somebody using various skills learned over a lifetime of loving bikes and putting them to good use. I look forward to more.
Great resto-build of your CB750! It's a true classic. In 2000 I bought a 1974 CB750, it was missing some parts and so was a good bargain and parts back then were a lot cheaper than today. I bought a 75 CB750 gas tank, in the same color as yours, Candy Sapphire Blue. I also managed to find matching side covers in the same color. It was a great bike, sure wish I had kept it! You have a great channel!
Really dig thoughts Hill-Billy tones! You are so well trained, that one would think, that you have been train at a rail-road locomotive workshop. You are in truth an artisan!!
I'm very impressed. I've been a mechanic for many years and I've worked on many different motorcycles. I'm 64 years old and you never get to old to learn something new
Great video. I was hooked for 54 minutes and I'd already watched all of the original vids! Gave me the motivation to get back to getting my 78 CB750K on the road and ordering some merch from your website tonight! Looking forward to your next upload.
Boy did this bring back good memories. I was 18 and bought this 1975 Honda 750 4 . Out of all the bikes I had this was the most fun to ride. Thanks for the video, it was great watching you bring it back to life. That 4 into one pipe sound's great!
Two things that really stood out: First was the great work you did with the fuel tank popping out the dent and clearing the rust and Second, no matter what you were doing to the bike you had the tools to do it with. Having a well-stocked shop to work in makes a big difference. Great video! Definitely deserving of a thumbs-up and a new subscriber.
Thank ya! Its not like I bought all the tools at once. I've slowly acquired them over the years as I find out what I need the most. Definitely nice to have them though
One big prob: To find parts that will work, no need for to use 50 yr old parts that will break soon. Another prob: If you need the help of a pro garage it will kill your amount, it will be VERY expensive. Sometimes the garage who fits my own bike restore these old Bike Ladys and after that they sell them for lots of money but its a lot of heart blood in them, you cant fit these old bike on regular store times. But, if you see the prices for really good and NOT damaged ones (Bobber, Cafe Racer etc) in original condition you see that many fans will pay good prices.
That's the best video I've seen on the internet of a restoration. Thank you for taking the trouble to make it. I learnt a lot from watching - you are a skilled man!
Glad you enjoyed Tim! This video simply skims the surface but if you want to know hownI do the work I highly recommend the full playlist where I go in depth
Absolutely amazing, mesmerizing video. It was such a privilege to watch you work. If you enjoyed doing the work half as much as I enjoyed watching you do it I am truly jealous. It's also an excellent tribute to an iconic motorcycle.
A parked bike of this model was the first one that I stopped and really admired as a 12 year old boy. I now ride a BMW 1200 gsa 2010 which I love but I still stop and admire these timeless and beautiful bikes whenever I see one. Thanks for the video!
Just stumbled on your video and this is amazing! I've never seen one guy with such an incredible skill set. Glad that you did a rejuvenation and did not attempt a factory-level restoration. Keeping the bike's history makes it more interesting.
"go find an old bike that needs help, invest some hours... and a bit of money, and go have an adventure!" great advice, I hope someday I can do it too just like you.
You did so many things expertly and with such care. Including the video production! Wonderful to see your craft unhurried by modern constraints, for the inherent value, which is so pure and came out so well. Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring.
Amazing work, Sir! You looked at that bike and knew exactly what it needed. I enjoy watching anyone work on bikes but when it's an older classic like this one, it's even more of a special treat. :)
I recently bought a '71 CL175 that my uncle owned before he passed. Bought it and fixed it up and ran it for the first time in 40 years! My aunt was so emotional when I showed up to her house with it which made all the hot and sweaty hours fixing it worth it!
That was so satisfying watching you combine your skill, knowledge and talent in such a tasteful rehabilitation of a classic Honda. You nailed it with your personal styling. Love the sound too. Beautiful work.
I remember when they first came out in the early 70’s. In South Africa there weren’t many exotics and this was special, the sound had never been heard and everyone raved about it! I’m so glad that you’ve kept it standard and not chopped and changed it. Beautiful!
i bought a sandcast and a jota from reedies bike scrappy in cardiff docks back in 78 , sandcast had been stolen and parts taken off it leaving the engine frame intact , i stored it for 20 years and sold it for 2k making a profit of 1400 . jota needed a new engine casing as brick shot up off road and cracked it . luckily rider stopped straightaway . cost me £80 to repair it , as my friend was race mechanic from the 60s sold that straightaway and made £800 profit
So you are a diagnostician, mechanic, electrician, fabricator, welder, body man, painter, detailer, videographer...totally awesome! What an amazing collection of skills you have, this is truly inspirational! One question, How long was the process?
Handy at all, expert at none lol. Thank you though! Once I freed the engine it took a month to get it riding, then it was just small weekend jobs to make it more presentable. Since this is my bike I had to put customer work first meaning I had less hours on this one.
I like your way of restoring. First you made sure, it runs. Then you repaired all the parts separately and showed it. Mostly other youtubers knockdown the whole vehicle and then assemble. But in that one will not understand how to repair vehicle. You are really good in that.
52:05 Essa moto tem o ronco mais bonito de todos os tempos. Parabéns pelo trabalho de restauração. Curiosidade: No Brasil o apelido dela é 7-galo. Origem: Temos em todo país um jogo de azar conhecido por jogo do bicho, e o bicho que corresponde ao numeral 50 é o galo, daí o apelido 750 = Sete_galo.. 👊👏🏻🤝 Abraços do Brasil. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Fiquem com Deus!
Truly Amazing , for a person your age to have amassed so much knowledge and skills , you should be proud of yourself . Brings back memories of when I rebuild a CB 160 when I was a kid in 1970. Keep up the good work and videos. As we would back in those days Peace dude
This is Such an amazing restoration. Watching this legendary motorcycle resurrect in one whole go is one hell of an experience! You have earned my respect!!! BTW did you name her?? Kinda curious to know
I stumbled on your channel and and am glad I did. These are the vintage motorcycles I cut my teeth on. You bring back memories that are treasured. I rode both 2 and 4 stroke bikes. Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Harley. My friends had Hondas and we loved them. I am in my seventies now and no longer own one or ride. I would if I could afford to but can't. Watching you brings a smile to my face. Thanks for bringing back those happy memories!
This timelapse is made from 20 plus videos where I explain my process. Most of my audience values the education side of things so I put great energy into that side of it.
This gives me motivation to bring my 1975 cb750k back to life. I want to keep as many parts as possible but will paint the tank, frame, fenders, forks and maybe color touch on the engine cooling fins.
I bought a new CB750 in 1973. What a wonderful bike. I scared myself trying to run it out in first gear. In those days it was horrendously fast. It was the beginning of the era of insane speed. Unfortunately a guy turned left in front of me and ended the bike a couple of years later. Darned near ended me too. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. Looking at the parts and the paint just convinces me of the quality of everything on that bike.
I had just started as an apprentice bike mechanic when this bike was manufactured. Hondas were built well with a lot of integrity in the engineering. This is one of the most honest Japanese motorcycles ever made. Honda was investing in the future by making this bike so solid. Honda forced the others to up their game and we all benefited.
Thank you for bringing back memories mostly good. Bought the very same bike, color was blue/green had for one summer and drove to Boston Mass. where it was stolen with by best friends 750 which we bought together. I did not have theft insurance was completely bummed out. But my brother had the same bike which was a few years older and I believe faster as they changed the compression ratio in the newer bikes. He wanted a Harley and sold bike to me family price. So got my bike back but wasn’t the same. Got a letter from Boston police several years later saying they found my bike frame and wanted to know if I wanted it I said NO! You did a fantastic job in restoring this beauty thanks for sharing!
Wonderful video, thanks. I can remember in the 70s moving up from a vibrating leaking old unreliable triumph and BSAs to the ultra smooth reliable Japanese bikes. Wish I still had my bonny tho, worth a lot of money nowadays
"The imperfections tell a story of a life well lived." I like that. I would have kept the tank patina too. That was very satisfying to watch, all of it. Thanks!
Exactly my first road bike.. the one I could afford and barely handle as a skinny teenager in the 80's. I never imagined it was so complex. Amazing job restoring this beauty. Thank you.
I loved everyone of my CB's. I had a 1976 550 and a 1981 CB 650 and a 1973 CB750. I think I liked the 650 the best. I did have to rebuild the top end of the 550 at one point. Thanks for bringing back memories. And just a reminder put a fan in that shop, LOL
She sounds like a balanced and tuned happy girl. You have been true to her in the restoration aesthetically too. Its nice to see bikers building their own machines. Old school cool 🌟
Damn this video made me miss my old CB750 that I had from '94 to '97... I got excited when the 4-to-1 header went on, that exact same sound mine had, gave me chill bumps as all the old memories came back. Thanks for the video, awesome job, man!
I have a 72 and a 75 750s. Restoring a barn find bike has to be a passion. when it's all said and done I take it that you are barely making minimum wage. Bravo!
This video brings back old memories. I fully restored a 1979 CB750 in 2007. I pretty much went through everything you had to do on this bike. It took me 6 months working day and night to get it all done. Sourcing parts was not eady...Removing rust from exhaust pipes and fenders was done using fine Bronze wool and it worked great and doesn't scratch. After getting it finished and riding again for the first time in over 35 years since I sold the new 1970 CB750 I bought in 1970 and sold in 1975. It ran well but a group I started riding with all had newer bikes like R1's, Z1000's etc, and they always left me far behind. I sold the 1979 CB 750 and bought a Yamaha FZ1, a 1000cc beast. It was nothing short of awesome and I never got left behind again.
Thank you to everyone watching, as well as those who tuned in during the premier as that was fun!

Did you ever get the starter motor working ?

Thank you so much for not turning that into yet another cafe racer. These bikes deserve to be cherished. I have had five of them in my lifetime. Bravo, sir!
I have a 78 CB750 that will be a full build. There was no need to make drastic changes to this one. They are so fun as they are
I second not turning it into a cafe racer! That is what you do to a wrecked bike. Cafe racer to me means the bike has been wrecked and pieced back together and will be a problem in the long run. My daughter bought a almost new bike that was converted and she has had nothing but problems with the hacked electrical system.

Ive had two 1973 - CB - 750- Fours & they were bullet proof..You cant say enough about how good they truly were...Great barn find.
Even riding them today they make me smile. 50 years on they are still good
You have just made a old man happy repairing that Honda 750, just putting the headlamp back on put the smile back on the bike.You are a very talented person. I had one in my early years of life I am in my 70s now. God I loved it. Best regards from the U.K.
Thanks Keith!
Second that, more regards from the UK.......good job
Fantastic video. It’s something I would love to do. 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Me too. I had a '73 that I bought new in '74 for $2,000, drove it across the continent twice and then sold it for $1,000 twelve years later with 83K miles on it. I've regretted it ever since, although I had too many job changes and school changes to have kept it so I had to sell it.
I have a 1975 sitting in my barn that I bought brand new. It has been sitting there since 1988. I keep saying I’m gonna get it running again. It was running great like always, the day I parked it.
Oil pump rebuild was soo satisfying! Amazing how these old bikes can be rebuilt and come right back to life!
I know right?! They get better the more you use them
And thankyou Honda for making SO much shit out of aluminum, that it CAN be brought back to life with a little polish and hard work.
I love the pace and flow of this video. No words need to be spoken! Great job. I rebuilt a Honda 160 Scrambler back in my younger days. I’m now 80 and I sure wish I still had her.
My first motorcycle was a 1966 CB160. I've had a LOT of bikes now at 70 years old, but I think that was my favorite. It gave me freedom at 14 years old.

What you've done is nothing short of restored a little bit of motorcycle history and nostalgia. Hats off to you sir great job!
Thank ya! Glad you enjoyed!
Duuude! As a guy who owns a 27 year old Honda, I found this project really satisfying. Outstanding rebuild.
Thank you much! I was hoping people would find it as such
As a father of two girls (now young women) and a lifelong biker, I cheer whenever I see a young man with an interest in motorcycles and good manual skills. There’s hope for my daughters yet. Not all of todays young men are on social media to the exclusion of real world interests.
Well I appreciate it
Your daughters will have zero interest in a guy like this. They want a CEO that makes 500k a year and can't change a tire.
Now that's a proper job, and that's a proper motorcycle. Well done. And thanks for the ride!
Thank you and glad you enjoyed!
My brother bought a 1970 and I bought the 71...Honda 750. When they first came out. Dumped my English bikes and have loved Honda ever since. Nicely done.
Thats what many did for sure. Really hurt the British market
One of the greatest bikes of all times. Built incredibly well. easy to fix, upkeep and a joy to ride :)
I was 20 at that time and the CB750 was THE bike at that time. Now, 45 years older I drive still a 750, but with the more modern technology. Breaks, Frame and so, everything is a bit better. It's a 'clone' from the CB 750, called 'seven fifty'. I think they bury me one day with that bike.
the bike that finished of the British bike industry lol
@@franzinauen8443 Looks like a magna! I've had 2. An 83 and an 85 I think.
Problem with the magna is the front end was too short. It'd start to shimmy at around 95mph
I think it'd have handled better (like the 750 four) with extended forks.
The magna has 6 gears. Just for kicks, I thought I'd see what it'd do as far as low end.
1st gear 65mph, 2nd 85, 3rd 105, and with 3 gears to go, I shut her down. "Because of the shimmy"
Thank you for reviving the japanese motorcycle wonderfully !!
Thank you much! Glad you enjoyed!
Such an inspiration. It's hard to believe that a guy your age knows so much about bikes built before he was born. Keep up the amazing work, well done.
Thank you much! Let me tell ya its not like I havent screwed stuff up. I learn by doing. Like many I wanted a cafe some years back and started with a kz750 twin, then cx, gs550s, cb750s, and more. Just experience over time
@@BrickHouseBuilds Well you've taught everyone so much and your videography is top notch. I have an old bike and channels like yours are helping me get it back on the road.
You did an awesome job on the CB 750 build, and the exhaust build and the welding was spot on and the sound was awesome 😊👍
Thanks Ian! It sounded really good with the first setup but I still prefer a 4 into 1
Wow! Beautiful restoration. You have an impressive skill set, sir!
When I was 18 years old I worked two years of Sunday’s at a gas station to pay for my 1972 cb750 I was a third owner of this bike, now at 67 I have to let her go, still in perfect condition,runs like a top. Many memories on this ,loved your video
@gregglover4449 well I'm glad it brought some good memories! That's super cool that you still have the bike. I hope it goes to a worthy caretaker
I think of all the episodes that I’ve watched on your channel so far, this is hands-down my absolute favorite. You did such a great job with the editing and the flow in the presentation. Just excellent 🫵🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks so much! I wanted it to feel a certain way and when done I felt it was my best video to date
You approach restoring these old bikes just like I do. My last restore was a bone stock 1968 XLCH bringing it back to life after 36 years. I see you have the same passion!
Just a great job keeping the patina and vintage character of this great iconic 750 Honda, THE model that put the motorcycle industry on its ear and set a new world standard. This is the very machine that changed everything! I am old enough to testify to this fact. My XLCH was the Super bike of its time until the Honda 750 Four came on the scene in 1969. When I was 20, I worked as a Honda Mechanic and bought my 1976 Honda 750 SuperSport at a discount off the showroom floor. Knocked it out of the crate during my lunch hour and blew through the assembly in record time. I rode it home that evening. My boss asked me why I didn’t work that fast on the customers bikes…lol.
I ended up quitting a few weeks later, packed up my New 750 four and did a 3 month road trip to the Florida Keys. A leather jacket, wool sweater, jeans, a $19 dollar Helmet I bought at K mart and my cowboy boots and $500 dollars in my pocket. No cell phones back then, no charge card, no camping gear, no nothing! But a big hunting knife. That 750 four was incredibly reliable. The only reason I had to return home was lack of money for food and fuel. Lost 33 pounds on that road trip from 150 lbs.to only 127 lbs. after I returned and made it back home with only $14 dollars! Saved all the money for fuel… lol
Much appreciated! I'm definitely wanting to do some longer roundtrips on this bike but will definitely need that charge cord lol
I'm 58 years old and remember everyone had either a CB 550 OR 750 back in the day. Great bikes and a very cool rescue you have done. New to the channel, Hello from Boston.
Thank ya Rick!
Ditto 68 😀
57 here. My first big bike I rode was my friends CB 550. I was 14 at the time. Oh man those times!
Still riding bikes :)
I had brand new KZ 750😎1200 dollars in 1976
@@erikeggenbakstad Still riding here too.
I had one of these when I was 18, now I am 61, these bikes were so common in the early 80`s I worked at a chrome plating shop in my teens, they had what they called a 750 Honda exchange, you brought in your engine covers and you walked out with chrome ones instantly, we had a showcase full of em, then we polished and plated your old ones and put them in the showcase for the next guy. I know every piece of aluminum on that bike, we plated the valve cover, timing cover, trans, tappet covers, lower legs, triple trees, you name it. Well I worked at a plating shop so my bike was all chromed out, we had a guy who did painting for us, so he painted mine candy apple red, with gold leaf pin stripe, it was a chore to keep clean, boy I wish I still had it, I traded it for a Kawasaki 900, loved the video.
I love that stuff. Good memories 🤘
I think this is one of the best rebuild videos I’ve seen yet on UA-cam amazing job and she looks amazing.
Well thank you much! I have a couple more timelapse style videos and all are taken from full episodes of building/reviving bikes. Should be plenty more to enjoy
It really was a revelation to see wow ☺️
Fantastic work, a very sympathetic restoration, I'm really pleased you left the bumps and scratches, all part of the bike's life story. I had one of these in the eighties and its still one of my fondest memories of riding. Brought a tear to an old man's eye. Ride safe brother!
Thank ya! The bikes flaws were telling a story and I wanted to keep that for sure
Memories
Didn't *even* want to know the story of whoever put those high handlebars on it. Thanks for losing them.
What a wonderful restoration I must say. Hats off to your passion, time, dedication etc. I absolutely loved it :)
Thank you Neil!
Amazing Man 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
l
What a truly inspirational young man , his talents are extraordinary , how refreshing to know that this level of talent and accomplishment still exist in the world thank you for sharing this ,
Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed!
Although I have no talent for restoring old motorcycles or even working on my own Honda Goldwing, I can certainly tell a master motorcycle mechanic and restoration specialist when I see one. I just stumbled upon one today and it was mesmerizing watching you take that old relic and bring it back to life. Wish more folks had your skills and passion for doing this kind of work. I know there are others out there, but I doubt there are too many better at this than you. Kudos, and thanks for the great content.
Well thank you much!
He had a lot of help. The bike was just waiting for someone like him to come along and bring it back to life using TLC. It sat there all these years just waiting. Thanks for the memories.
I watched the video from the beginning to the end and I loved it, I love seeing those old bikes come back to life.
The bike is a beauty, you did an amazing job, I highlight the smart repair you did to the fuel tank, very clever
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your motorcycle 🙂
Thank you!
It is always refreshing to see a classic being given a second chance at life. I have a '78 Yamaha DT175 Enduro that I am slowly bringing back to life and watching this video is definitely plenty of motivation for me. Great job.
🤘🤘
i really appreciate your methods. Logical and thorough. Little things like CLEANING the parts, rebuilding the parts, etc... make it so enjoyable to watch. Not just getting it to run, like that guy in Pennsylvania. ;)
@patrickwoods2583 Glad you enjoyed! If you want to see the nitty grotty details of this one I have a full playlist that goes into detail on everything
@@BrickHouseBuilds Haha, I don't own a motorcycle, nor do I know anything about being a mechanic. For some reason, these videos started coming up in my YT feed and I started watching. Now a month later, I'm getting the urge to buy a beater and fix it up! 🤡🤡🤡
Well done sir! This was an awesome trip down memory lane for me. My first bike was a 1971 CB350, and my second was a 1977 CB750 Supersport.
That was many moons ago, but I still remember them both like it was yesterday. Your meticulous attention is to be admired.
Very happy you enjoyed!
An absolute pleasure to watch.... In this disposable age, seeing you give that old machine a new lease on life is something special. I hope you enjoy her for many years to come. All the best from England.
Thanks so much! Agreed, feels good to keep it going and revive before replacing
Beautiful workmanship, fantastic barn find and sympathetic restoration. Total respect of your skills, and ability to maintain high mechanical standards whilst keeping the patina. Awesome motorcycle.
Thanks so much Gary!
I’ve watched and listened to some of the greatest symphonic conductors, instrumental soloists and serious Ted Talks in my time and I think your abilities as a mechanic, critical thinker and all around problem solver are in that same exact league! Bravo! I was sad when the video ended. it was mesmerizing, entertaining and inspiring! Congratulations!
Well I'm glad you enjoyed! Thank you
The bike and bikers world appreciates your dedication,hardwork and of course your skills. Good job brother!
🙏🙏
Yes.
Dude’s got an amazing skill set.
Great condensation of previous rebuild videos. Both versions are captivating. There are just so many skills displayed - great respect! Amazing transformation from a $100 barn find!
Thank you very much!
Very nice job, I love the way you allowed it to look it’s age, yet everything functioning!
Thanks Stevie! I feel it shows well as-is
I have a 72. Its been sitting since 92. Instead of a barn find its a corn crib find. I've owned it since 90. I'm going to start that project soon. Thank you for the video.
Glad you enjoyed!
Just was browsing and ran across your video. So,glad I did! It was like seeing a old friend again. A Honda CB750 was my first bike as a teenager. For a a little while I felt 17 again. Thank you for saving this bike and the stroll down memory lane.
Thanks William!
Wow, wow and WOW!
A work of art, skill and love.
Thank you for this. I had a CB750 back in 1971. Took it on a 3 months summer camping tour from the UK, across Europe and down to Greece. Watching your video production invoked beautiful memories of this and my younger days. Thank you so much. Kudos. 👍
Glad you enjoyed!
Joined your channel this morning . As a retired auto technician this was an absolute pleasure to watch . I wish you nothing but success in these adventures. I’m looking forward to watching .
Well welcome aboard and thank you very much!
@@BrickHouseBuilds I agree wholeheartedly.I have a 750 four sitting in the woods about 2 hrs. away and this video really built a fire under me to go get it out and see if I can revive it.Thanks for your inspiration !
@@leeholt8442 man I really hope you do it!
I had a '74 750. I put ~150 K miles on it. Great engineering on that machine. Did 1100 miles one day coming back from FL. in 1981. Kept it another 13 years and finally gave it to a friend.
Thats awesome!
Fantastic rebirth of the iconic first super bike. Great to see somebody using various skills learned over a lifetime of loving bikes and putting them to good use. I look forward to more.
Thank you much!
Great resto-build of your CB750! It's a true classic. In 2000 I bought a 1974 CB750, it was missing some parts and so was a good bargain and parts back then were a lot cheaper than today. I bought a 75 CB750 gas tank, in the same color as yours, Candy Sapphire Blue. I also managed to find matching side covers in the same color. It was a great bike, sure wish I had kept it! You have a great channel!
Thank you! This bike is planet blue so not quite as bright as the other. Still a lovely color
Really dig thoughts Hill-Billy tones! You are so well trained, that one would think, that you have been train at a rail-road locomotive workshop. You are in truth an artisan!!
Glad you enjoyed! I have a variety of music in this for the variety of people watching
Excellent build. Very impressive welding on the exhaust. Keep the videos coming!!!
Thanks Dave!
What an incredible rebuild, think I had as much fun watching as you did bringing that old Honda back to life. We’ll done sir.
Happy you enjoyed the video thank you!
It’s legends like you, that keep the dream alive. Loved the bike, love the content, but most of all, that sound.
🤘🤘🤘🤘
I'm very impressed. I've been a mechanic for many years and I've worked on many different motorcycles. I'm 64 years old and you never get to old to learn something new
Well I'm hoping some of what I did was helpful 🙏
You have been a mechanic for many years Wouldn't you have taken those barrels off and cleaned them up inside knowing the rust we saw
Great video. I was hooked for 54 minutes and I'd already watched all of the original vids! Gave me the motivation to get back to getting my 78 CB750K on the road and ordering some merch from your website tonight! Looking forward to your next upload.
Well thanks so much! Its both weird and awesome that the video doesn't "FEEL" like 54 minutes. I had a lot of fun editing it
Boy did this bring back good memories. I was 18 and bought this 1975 Honda 750 4 . Out of all the bikes I had this was the most fun to ride. Thanks for the video, it was great watching you bring it back to life. That 4 into one pipe sound's great!
Well I'm glad you enjoyed!
Two things that really stood out: First was the great work you did with the fuel tank popping out the dent and clearing the rust and Second, no matter what you were doing to the bike you had the tools to do it with. Having a well-stocked shop to work in makes a big difference. Great video! Definitely deserving of a thumbs-up and a new subscriber.
Thank ya! Its not like I bought all the tools at once. I've slowly acquired them over the years as I find out what I need the most. Definitely nice to have them though
One big prob: To find parts that will work, no need for to use 50 yr old parts that will break soon. Another prob: If you need the help of a pro garage it will kill your amount, it will be VERY expensive. Sometimes the garage who fits my own bike restore these old Bike Ladys and after that they sell them for lots of money but its a lot of heart blood in them, you cant fit these old bike on regular store times. But, if you see the prices for really good and NOT damaged ones (Bobber, Cafe Racer etc) in original condition you see that many fans will pay good prices.
That's the best video I've seen on the internet of a restoration. Thank you for taking the trouble to make it. I learnt a lot from watching - you are a skilled man!
Glad you enjoyed Tim! This video simply skims the surface but if you want to know hownI do the work I highly recommend the full playlist where I go in depth
Hell of a video. Nice job!
Absolutely amazing, mesmerizing video. It was such a privilege to watch you work. If you enjoyed doing the work half as much as I enjoyed watching you do it I am truly jealous. It's also an excellent tribute to an iconic motorcycle.
Well thank you so much! I've had a ton of fun with this bike and have really fallen in love with it so its going to be around a long time
My dad bought one when I was just 14 (1984 in UK) and I was hooked on bikes from then on, and will always love these, great job i
Great work and impressive skills bringing an old classic back to a real world rideable state.
Thank you!
Great video mate, and beautifully done. Thank you for tastefully restoring this epic machine. That exhaust note is a pure symphony!
Thank you!
gotta agree mate. nothing like a 4 into 1. and that one was very well done
So awesome. I do the same thing and love the thrill of seeing these old gems be returned to where they belong and appreciated.
Thank ya! Glad you enjoyed it!
A parked bike of this model was the first one that I stopped and really admired as a 12 year old boy. I now ride a BMW 1200 gsa 2010 which I love but I still stop and admire these timeless and beautiful bikes whenever I see one. Thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
Just stumbled on your video and this is amazing! I've never seen one guy with such an incredible skill set. Glad that you did a rejuvenation and did not attempt a factory-level restoration. Keeping the bike's history makes it more interesting.
Thanks Scott! Its too cool to take away its charm. A restoration wouldn't have been right. I have a cbx for that
Lovely to see this old Honda come back to life. Such a beautiful bike and that exhaust sound was superb!! Well done mate on such a great job.
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
Congratulations on 1.8 million views...pretty incredible task. Shows the love people have for these vintage bikes
Thank ya! This video has done insanely good
"go find an old bike that needs help, invest some hours... and a bit of money, and go have an adventure!" great advice, I hope someday I can do it too just like you.
🙏🙏
The juice is worth the squeeze I promise
You did so many things expertly and with such care. Including the video production! Wonderful to see your craft unhurried by modern constraints, for the inherent value, which is so pure and came out so well. Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring.
Thanks so much Nathan that means a lot. I don't like to rush
I love how this man works❤
🙏🙏
Amazing work, Sir! You looked at that bike and knew exactly what it needed. I enjoy watching anyone work on bikes but when it's an older classic like this one, it's even more of a special treat. :)
Thank you much! Glad you enjoyed
I recently bought a '71 CL175 that my uncle owned before he passed. Bought it and fixed it up and ran it for the first time in 40 years! My aunt was so emotional when I showed up to her house with it which made all the hot and sweaty hours fixing it worth it!
Thats so cool to hear. That meant a lot to her
@BrickHouseBuilds it's only a 175 so it's a bit slow on the bigger roads but it's cool and old which makes up for it
That was so satisfying watching you combine your skill, knowledge and talent in such a tasteful rehabilitation of a classic Honda. You nailed it with your personal styling. Love the sound too. Beautiful work.
Thanks so much Mike!
Sounds damn good. I apprecite all the work you put into this bike, including redoing the electrical system. Certainly did this bike good!
Much appreciated 🙏
A melhor moto já fabricada!
Voltando a vida pelas mãos de um gênio.
Thanks so much Marcelo!
I remember when they first came out in the early 70’s. In South Africa there weren’t many exotics and this was special, the sound had never been heard and everyone raved about it! I’m so glad that you’ve kept it standard and not chopped and changed it. Beautiful!
They were an absolute game changer for sure
i bought a sandcast and a jota from reedies bike scrappy in cardiff docks back in 78 , sandcast had been stolen and parts taken off it leaving the engine frame intact , i stored it for 20 years and sold it for 2k making a profit of 1400 . jota needed a new engine casing as brick shot up off road and cracked it . luckily rider stopped straightaway . cost me £80 to repair it , as my friend was race mechanic from the 60s sold that straightaway and made £800 profit
So you are a diagnostician, mechanic, electrician, fabricator, welder, body man, painter, detailer, videographer...totally awesome! What an amazing collection of skills you have, this is truly inspirational! One question, How long was the process?
Handy at all, expert at none lol. Thank you though! Once I freed the engine it took a month to get it riding, then it was just small weekend jobs to make it more presentable. Since this is my bike I had to put customer work first meaning I had less hours on this one.
I like your way of restoring. First you made sure, it runs. Then you repaired all the parts separately and showed it. Mostly other youtubers knockdown the whole vehicle and then assemble. But in that one will not understand how to repair vehicle. You are really good in that.
Well thank you much! Happy you enjoyed
52:05 Essa moto tem o ronco mais bonito de todos os tempos.
Parabéns pelo trabalho de restauração.
Curiosidade:
No Brasil o apelido dela é 7-galo.
Origem:
Temos em todo país um jogo de azar conhecido por jogo do bicho, e o bicho que corresponde ao numeral 50 é o galo, daí o apelido 750 = Sete_galo..
👊👏🏻🤝
Abraços do Brasil. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Fiquem com Deus!
Thanks so much! I definitely love how it sounds
Truly Amazing , for a person your age to have amassed so much knowledge and skills , you should be proud of yourself . Brings back memories of when I rebuild a CB 160 when I was a kid in 1970. Keep up the good work and videos. As we would back in those days Peace dude
Thanks so much!
This is Such an amazing restoration. Watching this legendary motorcycle resurrect in one whole go is one hell of an experience! You have earned my respect!!! BTW did you name her?? Kinda curious to know
Thank you! I call the bike Pati actually as its short for patina
Had one and rode it for years. Gave it to my daughters boyfriend who had moved to CA. He is probably still riding it 20 years later.
I stumbled on your channel and and am glad I did. These are the vintage motorcycles I cut my teeth on. You bring back memories that are treasured. I rode both 2 and 4 stroke bikes. Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Harley. My friends had Hondas and we loved them. I am in my seventies now and no longer own one or ride. I would if I could afford to but can't. Watching you brings a smile to my face. Thanks for bringing back those happy memories!
Well I'm happy it brought some good memories back!
Beautiful CB750 I like how you cleaned and detail the motorcycle without removing the aged patina. I owned a 73 Honda CB 500K1. Excellent video.
Thank you! It just had so much character I didn't want to disturb. Glad you enjoyed!
Had a friend in the ‘70’s that had this bike..very jealous of him. Loved your video, no unnecessary talking. Well done.
This timelapse is made from 20 plus videos where I explain my process. Most of my audience values the education side of things so I put great energy into that side of it.
What a great light-touch fix up for that bike! It is wonderful that you kept it almost stock. A real gem.
Thank you!
This gives me motivation to bring my 1975 cb750k back to life. I want to keep as many parts as possible but will paint the tank, frame, fenders, forks and maybe color touch on the engine cooling fins.
I bought a new CB750 in 1973. What a wonderful bike. I scared myself trying to run it out in first gear. In those days it was horrendously fast. It was the beginning of the era of insane speed. Unfortunately a guy turned left in front of me and ended the bike a couple of years later. Darned near ended me too. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. Looking at the parts and the paint just convinces me of the quality of everything on that bike.
Glad you enjoyed!
I had just started as an apprentice bike mechanic when this bike was manufactured. Hondas were built well with a lot of integrity in the engineering. This is one of the most honest Japanese motorcycles ever made. Honda was investing in the future by making this bike so solid. Honda forced the others to up their game and we all benefited.
@@markwybierala4936 Indeed! This made Kawasaki stop their 750 project and postpone until they made it 900 lol
Always loved the 750-fourThey were very popular in Zimbabwe and South Africa back in the 70's.Very nice job that you did she sounds so sweet
This has always been my dream bike, ever since i bobbed my first cb650....thanx for the memories brother....
Much appreciated and glad you enjoyed 🙏
Thank you for bringing back memories mostly good. Bought the very same bike, color was blue/green had for one summer and drove to Boston Mass. where it was stolen with by best friends 750 which we bought together. I did not have theft insurance was completely bummed out. But my brother had the same bike which was a few years older and I believe faster as they changed the compression ratio in the newer bikes. He wanted a Harley and sold bike to me family price. So got my bike back but wasn’t the same. Got a letter from Boston police several years later saying they found my bike frame and wanted to know if I wanted it I said NO! You did a fantastic job in restoring this beauty thanks for sharing!
Well thats a wild ride. Glad it brought some at least partially good memories
Wonderful video, thanks. I can remember in the 70s moving up from a vibrating leaking old unreliable triumph and BSAs to the ultra smooth reliable Japanese bikes. Wish I still had my bonny tho, worth a lot of money nowadays
@@tamar5261 glad you enjoyed!
"The imperfections tell a story of a life well lived." I like that. I would have kept the tank patina too. That was very satisfying to watch, all of it. Thanks!
Thank ya!
Exactly my first road bike.. the one I could afford and barely handle as a skinny teenager in the 80's. I never imagined it was so complex. Amazing job restoring this beauty. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed!
I loved everyone of my CB's. I had a 1976 550 and a 1981 CB 650 and a 1973 CB750. I think I liked the 650 the best. I did have to rebuild the top end of the 550 at one point. Thanks for bringing back memories. And just a reminder put a fan in that shop, LOL
Glad you enjoyed! Shop has a fan lol.
She sounds like a balanced and tuned happy girl. You have been true to her in the restoration aesthetically too. Its nice to see bikers building their own machines. Old school cool 🌟
I just gave it what it needed to be a good rider and keep its story going. Definitely love this bike
Great idea with the heat gun. I remember those stickers on the gas tank. @ 35:40 Remember Preserve Nature Always Wear a Helmet.
The heat is definitely necessary
Damn this video made me miss my old CB750 that I had from '94 to '97... I got excited when the 4-to-1 header went on, that exact same sound mine had, gave me chill bumps as all the old memories came back. Thanks for the video, awesome job, man!
The 4 into 1 isn't for everyone but man it's definitely the sound and look I want! Glad you liked the video!
I have a 72 and a 75 750s. Restoring a barn find bike has to be a passion. when it's all said and done I take it that you are barely making minimum wage. Bravo!
Glad you enjoyed!
This video brings back old memories. I fully restored a 1979 CB750 in 2007. I pretty much went through everything you had to do on this bike. It took me 6 months working day and night to get it all done. Sourcing parts was not eady...Removing rust from exhaust pipes and fenders was done using fine Bronze wool and it worked great and doesn't scratch. After getting it finished and riding again for the first time in over 35 years since I sold the new 1970 CB750 I bought in 1970 and sold in 1975. It ran well but a group I started riding with all had newer bikes like R1's, Z1000's etc, and they always left me far behind. I sold the 1979 CB 750 and bought a Yamaha FZ1, a 1000cc beast. It was nothing short of awesome and I never got left behind again.
Awesome! I've had an fz1 and yes, killer bikes
Getting left behind at your age isn't anything worry about. Easy does it.
