Saw this in a video- a CB with RC30ish bodywork. As a past owner of 900Fs and an RC30, me likely! A lot!

Throw a 1/2 or 3/4 fairing on it, and bring it to the US

If you already have a 900F, I would not think the 750 would offered anything extra. I would just keep what you have.
100% agree with this. The 750 is a real nice bike-- but the 900 is a spectacular ... |

How did the bike work with a 16/17 wheel setup? That's quite a change from the stock setup and I'd think the geometry would be pretty screwed up.
Looks great though lol |
