Hi All,

Just thought I'd check in and say Hi as I have just put my CBR 750 Hurricane (1987) back on the road. Have owned it for 15 years but sadly it has been residing in storage for the last 4!

Anyway all serviced and legal, pick it up from the shop tomorrow morning Won't be able to sleep tonight!

Would like to post some pics but can't add attachments, sorry.

Millsy

Welcome to the asylum, Millsy
Come on down to the Hurricane section and meet the rest of the inmates. We like 750's too.

Welcome to the CBR pages Millsy

My first bike was a Honda CBR750 Hurricane and about 15 years ago I was living in Little Wratting - some great rides and pubs around Cambs!
Be sure to post some pictures of the Hurricane*.

Cheers.

Edit:*preferably parked up outside a timberframed public house selling real ale in rolling countryside..... perfect.

Whhoa, seems I've just been promoted, so here's the ol' bird, built 1987, I've had it 15 years as a grey import in the UK, had it resprayed in Honda red with custom decals about 4 years ago. Only 20K miles.



Still waiting for a call to go and pick it up from the garage/shop today! Can't wait to get out and on the road!

Looks like someone heard you.............

Great looking bike Millsy - we don't have many 750's but enjoy what's on offer and make yourself at home.........

That looks very smart - hard to believe it's a 25yr old.
Chrome decals look good too.
Has it had a tail lift? Or is that just the angle of the pic?

Must be the pic I reckon unless it was done before I got it. I think she is pretty much standard except for the paint job.
