1972 Honda CB750 review from United States of America
"1974 cb 750 electrical problems"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Well at 40,000 miles: seat split, tires dry rotted, but didn't lose air, battery died, tailight cracked.
Left parked for 6 days without cranking; no lights, nothing done, usual tests, new battery; nothing. Checked the fusebox.
General comments?
When running the bike climbed well. It's fast enough, and has good gas mileage.
The fairing kinda seems weird, and it has small handlebars too.
Hondas are great bikes, old or new, but mine has me stumped.
I ordered new switch.
