Guess the year CB750

The seller is not quite sure what he is selling, so it's competition time, I have a chocolate fish for the best guess.

Looks like a 73 to me painted black, the pictures were not that great but the speedo looks typical of a 73.

A little of both...the fork ears say 72, but that small rear tail light and gauges say 71. The rear blinkers are mounted in true 71 fashion.

For the most part, the bike and engine look like a K1.

The curve ball is the K0/K1 Japanese market top tree and taillight lens.

The deal is one bike in shed in bits at a time, and believe me I have tried hiding 3 in there but she counts wheels! ;)

Tell her they are just spare wheels ;), I'm lucky I brought home another 2 bikes the other day and all I got asked was "Can this one be mine?"

Sounds like you need a "secret" door into another "secret" room behind the shed..... 8)

I'll be over in July next year for a week, should be over your way for a day or 2 so we'll drop in... ;)
