Could have been early '73, but more likely it was the 650cc then. I am pretty sure it was taken in the summer of '72. -
Jimbo that is definitely a 650 either a 71 or 72. The 750 had a hydraulic disk brake on the front. You will notice the front brake is cable on this Bonneville. Good memory, you got the years correct for sure.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact. -

Circa 1975, the Bike on the left was my '64 Panhead that set in a '57 Straight Leg Frame. I bought this bike basically in boxes and rebuilt it over a couple of years.
The Sportster on the right was my brothers ride, we had a lotta fun with these two. As things go, I became hard up and sold the Panhead a few years later. I regret that decision to this day.

My friend had one of those Suzuki 650's with shaft drive for many years. About as low maintenance as it gets.Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.

1971 CB 350 Super Sport, just like the one pictured. Great fun but constant tinkering, mainly with points and getting the twin carbs working together, along with the valve adjustments. My brother has it now and is getting the whole bike redone.
