Deeply offended I am.  Mate described my CBX as a single with five spare cylinders. Bloody philistine.

Another 24 ltr tank model from yamaha. A bonus few other makers caught on to......even with todays models...albeit better fuel economy.....it still is a sticking point.

Have a check of the back wheel.
1100 had 16 inch for the special, 17 inch for the standard and
The 750/850 I think had an 18 inch ?

Hey Timbo,
Would you be looking for a brand new never been on a bike back wheel?

Eddy

Hi Eddy, pretty sure the wheels are the same as the 1100?  Have two spare sets that came with my 78E
After brake callipers though if anybody got spares?
Cheers,

Yep, every thing looks better in a photo....
Brakes are not good, carbs will need rekitting, speedo needs replaced or refurbish, engine will need pulled down, parked up due to sick primary drive chain, 10 years. Engine doesn't turn over, rings nipped up from sitting with nothing down plug holes... :( Exhaust is very average, not original but not rusted out either.
Good points are... 60k on clock, came with new primary chain, tank has very little rust and straight. Forks are still Crome with no rust. Unmolested, complete and history known if that means any thing.. ::)..same Stroke and bore as our loved 1100, yes a true three quarter.. ;D
Timbo..

gotta be a good thing, only 3/4 of the trouble involved.
doesn't look like a lot to do, or are the photos being kind to it?
