The first one is so original, that the exhaust clamps had to be installed backwards :)

I've noticed people are asking more for the CB 750's on craigslist than they did a few years ago, in general.  I got each of mine for about a grand, and nowadays people are asking about double that, if not more.  Not sure what's going on here....

Any 750 that's in great shape, is original, and has low miles is getting big bucks on ebay. Mine might not meet those criteria but I'm sure glad I have it.

Prices like these are going to be more the norm than not as more time passes. Definitely some good looking K6's. I paid $2483 for my 6 with 17K back in 2009 and had a few sleepless night thinking I must be out of my mind paying that for a 33 year old Honda 750. But that feeling soon changed and I realized what a gem I had and what a good bike it was ;)

They call it re-sell red for a reason.  No color sells faster or for more money, as a general rule.  I've been buying and selling cars for more years than my loving wife cares to remember.  I always do best with red ones.
