I like the old TV like frame around your photo. It gives the impression of yesteryear.The wide angle, I feel, balance the image.
I too had a Honda CB750-4 back in 1972 and have many fond memories clocking up 120,000Km (75,000Miles) before it gave up.
Thanks

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means, and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again, since it is life.

Thanks Frans,
This is an '82, (w/39,000 miles), starts every time...still runs like a top. I use it for city stuff,short rides. Love the rock solid handling, classic good looks.It's a real conversation starter everywhere I take it. :O)

Thanks for the comments,
With regards,

Rick
