Can't Kill a Honda 750

The age-old question; "Should I buy this"? Our buddy Carl scrounged this bike up on eBay. It was cheap and had a title. If the engine turned over he was gonna buy it. It did, so it's in the shop now.


It was last registered in '94 in Hawaii. How it made it to MD is a mystery, though judging by the condition it was dragged here behind a ship. We'll spare you all the gory details, but the only thing in there worth salvaging was the engine, and that's only if it'll run. We weren't going through the trouble to pull it and clean it before trying it out, so with some jury-rigged wiring to the original coils, a set of clean carbs off Carl's other bike, and a battery it was time to see what was left in that old motor.

Not only does it run, it idles better than his daily rider! Mission accomplished for now. We'll cut it the rest of the way down later.
