I think if I was going to spend $5000 on a used bike it wouldn't be for a tarted up CB750C.

I found these all on craigslist for between $4 and 5K.





I like any of these better.

RC51s can't stay this cheap...can they?

I'd take the FZ1 over all of those. Such a hooligan bike on the throttle.

Why, if you are going to swap out a gas tank and have any tank to choose from, why would you choose a CX500 tank? It doesn't even look like it fits on the bike it was designed for!

But at least it still has turn signals and the license plate is in the correct spot

Man I wish i had the funds to grab a RC51.

I hate the gap between the tank and seat. Also even with rear sets I think the bars are a bit much.

UK market seems to be strong on a lot of bikes.
Should load up a container and make some money.

It's what the chap who sold my uncle that firebird scrambler ( it was the last thing to go) did and he made about £5k all in, I think that included his 2 week "holiday" to the states as well. Nice work if you can get it, or afford the initial outlay.

Im great at finding stuff.
Really should look into getting hooked up with someone over there.

Then get them to hold an RS2 for me until I can import it (25 year law)

actually the cx500 tank looks great on the smaller hondas like the cb450s and cb350F . but on those bikes it looks like a bread box road race tank (like a seeley tank) and huge. On the cb750 the gigantic engine dwarfs anything you put on there aside from the stock tank.

wait, I have a pic for this, it even has you in it:





The KZ1300 tank is a neat trick if I can ever get it mounted. Super wide so it fits around the sides of the engine and doesn't look out of place. The pics above show it "resting" on my 1978 cb750F with dunstall parts, one of the reasons the bike looks so good with large tanks is the seat is actually raised up on some 1" bar stock instead of sitting on the frame rails.

The kz1300 tank is nearly 6 gallons so it would make a neat endurance racer tank for sure. I think I paid $40 for that dent free one off ebay 10 years ago.

I have a huge hardon for high-capacity fuel tanks. Not only does the large size of them lend itself to fairly eye-pleasing shapes, but having 5+ gallons of fuel is a wonderful thing.

someday... SOMEDAY, I'll get a bigass fuel tank for the Z1
