Last registered/operated in 1996, this majestic heap of rust was once the classic superbike Honda CB750, vintage 1973. Can you salvage anything from this low-mileage, storm-tossed beauty? Place your bets carefully: this "as-is" sale is final.

To help you decide, here are the facts:

Got the bike in 1990 and set about several much-needed improvements:

- new fork seals/fluids (both front and back are squishy now)
- new seat (but the metal base pan has rust-perforations at the edges, so only expect to salvage the still-intact cushion/vinyl)
- replacement pipes/muffler (couldn't find originals, so I put on some POS 4-1 and had to remove the center-stand which is here and part of the deal)
- tires (didn't put many miles on them, but they're almost 15 years old, so don't expect much grip)
- electronic ignition (I still have the original points-plate -- it's yours)
- paint job on the gas tank, a sweet glossy black, but there's a nasty ding on the left side (don't ask)
- new front-brake calipers (barely any miles on them -- I rebuilt the brake cylinder right before parking the bike for the last time, as if to make it final)

This bike has been stored outdoors -- under a canvas cover, but still outside. There's rust everywhere. I assume there's rust inside too. I did peek under the valve covers and everything looked as-new clean (for whatever that's worth). All the chrome trim has rust specks (some rust trim has chrome specks, as with the handlebars). Frame seems intact, but there are spots with rust exposure.

The lucky purchaser of this motorcycle also gets:

- Haynes manual
- CB750 coffee-table book (nice photos!)
- new chain (never got to install it)
- some lens-covers for the directionals
- stock mirrors (and the lower-profile replacements I had been using)
- original tool kit and user manual
- points-plate

Come and get it. Don't everyone contact me at once.
