Hey everyone! I need some guidance.I'm considering buying either a CB550F or a CB750F. Found both on craigslist and am going to check out the 550 tomorrow and the 750 on Sunday.The CB750F was a "garage find". Guy is the third owner, who bought it from the 2nd owner who owned it since the mid 80s and stopped riding it 15 years ago. It's been sitting since and the new owner hasnt tried starting it. He's asking $1500 and seems fairly firm on the price but I havent asked. 25000 miles. It looks clean but neither of us know if it will run or what it will take to get it running (ideally just a carb clean, fresh oil, and fresh gas? But who knows).The CB550F is in running and driving condition. Looks about as clean as the 750 from the pictures. 19000 miles. The guy is looking to sell it quick and is asking $1600 OBO and has a bunch of spare parts (seats, bars, etc).The problem is my price limit for now is around $2000 and then work from there to build a cafe or bratstyle bike. The extra power and value of the 750 is attractive but I'm afraid I'll buy it and not get it running in time to enjoy it this fall.What's your opinion? Which one would you go for? via /r/CafeRacers https://www.reddit.com/r/CafeRacers/comments/988c4k/cb550f_vs_cb750f/?utm_source=ifttt
