Fraternal Twins

Like a brother of another mother, these two CB750 K models are separated by two production years, ’77 and ’79, but the similarities are only skin deep. 2 valve vs 4 valve, single cam vs DOHC, dry sump vs wet, kick start vs electric only, etc…. Both bikes are Candy Bayard Brown and still see considerable road use! And the best part is I get to keep them in top shape and ride them occasionally!!

As iconic as the CB750 has become since it toppled motorcycle kingdoms around the world, it is also an excellent platform to create your own piece of rolling art. And that is what my friend Ash did with this bike and a little help from G6 MotoSports. We rebuilt the front brakes, forks and carbs, and then wired it all together to make it come to life!

 

Street tracker? 750 Inline Enduro? Whatever moniker, it turned out very slick with smooth and pleasing lines.

I looked, but couldn't find a date code...
