I'm buying a '92 CB 750 today. I've already been over to the seller's
place to ride it, found it to be in good shape, and gave him a deposit. It
has a little over 10K miles on it, looks and feels like new, or pretty
close anyway.
Does anyone have any comments on the bike, quirks, faults, gas mileage
figures, etc. that could be helpful? This will be my daily commuter - 80
miles round trip.
I've always wanted one of these, but sadly, all Honda makes now is the
flagship of the MSF, the CB250. I saw several black ones that were a
little newer, but had more miles on them. This one has a Grateful Dead
logo custom painted on the tank, and the license plate reads "92 DEAD". I
guess I'll have to go buy some Dead CDs now.

It shound be similar (less power and less sophisticated suspension/
brake) as your same year DOHC Nighthawk, I noticed you have a lot of
bikes that are pretty similar in two varieties metric cruisers &
UJM's. It's none of my business but why not try comthing a little
different, like a CX-500,650 or an older 98-01 VFR-781 (800)?

I've been gone from Usenet for a long time. Too long I guess. Been
busy riding.
How are you doing?

I'm fine Phillip, how about yourself?. I only post to Reeky once in
awhile. I'm over in AMS-(alt.motorcycle.sportbike) all the time. I
sold the Sprint and bought a second 06-SV-650 (lighter and easy to
handle with the one leg and weak heart).and an old 84 RZ-350 but I
blew the engine twice now and it's in the shop again. I pretty much
just do rides under 300 miles actually mostly my 100 mile Sat or
Sunday twistie breakfast rides and home with buds in this Phoenix
summer heat now.

A 16 year old bike with only 10k on it?
I smell crackly-type rubber bits in bad places.
