Any of these too good to pass on?

In the market for a new bike that is in good working order in my new hometown, the Cincinnati area.

Coming from Florida i'm not sure how the market is up here and especially with winter around the corner... ???

Stop wasting time. Grab that first one and ride it for years to come.

The price on the first bike is comparable to most prices you'll find on a running bike of that vintage in Ohio, I paid 1500 for my Yamaha up here in Toledo. It looks like a good deal in my eyes, plus it isn't so molested and it's a good starting point for any mods you may want to do

Those are comparable to down here in Dallas/Ft Worth. The seat on the 2nd one is hideous. I'd go with the first because it's more of a blank slate to work with. I'd ditch the striping, but that's me.

You guys are so lucky. People here are morons.

Running 79 CB750. Needs seat and paint and who knows what else. No pics. $2000.

Something about the air in NM makes people retarded.

Yep of the two the first one is the right one. Now, is it a CB750 you want? It's a bigger heavier bike. Where are you going to be riding it? Zipping around town or long distance? Do you like to work on bikes?

The CB750 is a solid good bike, no question. But there are a) easier bikes to ride around the city and b) easier bikes to work on. 4 carbs is a lot of work, the CB750's valve cover can't come off unless you pull the engine etc.

Around town on short hops.

Do you like to work on bikes?

the first is awesome!!!! hell the 2nd is nice too looks to have a tracy body reproduction on there as well!

Those are both about average as far as Ohio prices go for a running bike with a clean title. CLEAN TITLE is the key though. Bill of sale only and I'd pay half what they're asking.
