Guys, I found this bike and I really think this is a beautiful motorcycle. I am not familiar with this type of engine but the ad reads its been sitting outside for 14 years. These are the kind of projects I live for. Would you have any concerns? It is air cooled so shouldn't be any issues with liquid damage. What do you think. I would restore this baby back to stock in a heartbeat !!

Hold on!! As I am researching this bike it appears it has 10 speed clutch?? Interesting !
 
Not edzachary a "10 speed clutch". The trans has a high/low range, so, "technically", it is capable of 10 speeds, but it's not meant to be ridden as such, and would be next to impossible to shift that way. The low range is more for in town riding, and the high range for stretching it's legs out on the road. :yes:
 
I had one that color back when......
I used the "high" range as an overdrive gear. It was a very nice ride with a Vetter fairing. Why not go for it?
 
I wish you luck. Budget for a minimum of; seat, battery, tank clean, petcock, carb kits, tires, chain, a few gaskets, plugs, wires, caps, fork seals, brake pads, brake master and caliper kits and most likely brake lines. I'd offer no more than $400 IF they have a clear title. I'm working on a '79 CB750F that sat outside since 1999. It is pretty sad.

Well, no one is responding back. I've called and text. Will have to let this one go.

Does that mean you are cured, or is there a probability of a relapse?
