So locally I picked up a 1974 Honda CB750. This thing has been owned by the same guy for 25 years, is red in color and looks pretty damn good. Runs, starts, drives and has a clean title.

Looks very much like this, except it has 2, 2-in-1 exhausts:

What am I looking at for value?

Why? Are you looking to flip it or do you feel you paid too much?

Duke McDukiedook · « **Reply #2 on:** February 09, 2012, 02:42:23 PM »

As much as you can flip it for.

bollingball · « **Reply #3 on:** February 09, 2012, 03:00:01 PM »

The value to you is what you paid for it.

Not sure. Ive got the 550 and if I can make some cash for the wife and kids i might flip it ya. But I want to offer a fair price for someone to keep it on the road?

A red '74?

I think what Nomad means is the 74 wasn't offered in red, maybe 75 or up? Check your neck tag.

Sdsbassist · « **Reply #8 on:** February 09, 2012, 05:29:29 PM »

Maybe a darker orange?

The CB750K4 Four was sold in 1974 and was available in one of three colors: Flake Sunrise Orange, Freedom Green Metallic, or Boss Maroon Metallic.
The CB750K5 Four was sold in 1975 and was available in one of two colors: Planet Blue Metallic or Flake Apricot Red.
Check the neck tag for a month/year and that will give you some idea.

I bought this last year for 2k. I didnt haggle though because its just not in me. Also this is in socal so the price is a little inflated. Ran really well. Started fine, idled, had new tires and chain, which doesnt mean much but w/e.

A little inflated? It's ridiculous.

I have been shopping over there for quite a while. Decided I can buy one in the Midwest and ship it to me for less.

LOL, yea i honestly think as far as socal goes it was a bit on the lower side, considering the condition and mileage. But i see what others on here pay and it is ridiculous.

Sdsbassist · « **Reply #14 on:** February 09, 2012, 06:06:41 PM »

I was wondering because ive seen them for anywhere from 1300 to 3000 on ebay and just wasnt sure how one would even come up with a retail price

knox-cb · « **Reply #15 on:** February 09, 2012, 06:13:10 PM »

mileage?

HondaMan · « **Reply #16 on:** February 09, 2012, 06:15:53 PM »

I sell them, fully rebuilt, for between $3500 and $6000.

Vbled1 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 09, 2012, 06:19:06 PM »

12,xxx

Take in consideration that you are in the midwest. Much lower resale compared to SOCAL, texas, florida.... All the good areas to ride year round..... I would keep her if I was you.

edit!!!! Sorry thought the first bike was her.

Sdsbassist · « **Reply #19 on:** February 09, 2012, 06:31:18 PM »

I'll get a pic and post it. I am not against keeping it whatsoever

Sdsbassist · « **Reply #20 on:** February 09, 2012, 06:49:41 PM »

Looking at it again and with a picture, maybe its maroon?

Sdsbassist · « **Reply #21 on:** February 09, 2012, 07:01:27 PM »

Thanks rt. Havent seen any maroon ones other than mine!

Tews19 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 09, 2012, 07:02:27 PM »

bud, what are the vins on the frame and engine?

? The paint scheme is not a 74 or 75.. Much lower unless a repaint.. Plus the chain gaurd looks to be much longer indicating 70-71

Stev-o · « **Reply #23 on:** February 09, 2012, 07:02:33 PM »

I have a maroon K4, that is not it. Looks like that bike has been repainted.

It's worth $2-3k, depending on how good a salesman you are.

Now the real question, how much did you pay?? Guessing a thousand, that would be a good deal.

Sdsbassist · « **Reply #24 on:** February 09, 2012, 07:06:56 PM »

$450.

If I could get a few grand for it id be dumb not to sell. Not until I ride for a bit
