What's my CB750K really worth??
« on: February 20, 2013, 01:56:12 PM »
Just wondering what my CB is actually worth. 6k original miles and really clean….

Per KBB retail is 3145.00 with trade in at 1765.00
NADA is lower at 2995.00

I have seen them go anywhere from 2500 to 4500 for similar bikes but just wanted the opinion of yal.

Nice bike.  You are close enough to stock it might be worth it to reinstall Honda blinkers an seat.  $4200 to the right buyer with clear title that matches vin on both sides of the neck, original matching engine numbers, serviced with good tires and battery.

I think you could get $3K all day in most markets, maybe not in some.  It would take longer to get $4K IMHO, but you would get it eventually.  Brought back to fully stock, you could fetch some good money on ebay, like $5K-$7K...but who knows how often those sales actually get finished...seen lots of big closing bids on bikes that get relisted.

That blue paint and those pipes makes me stupid...like I would spend too much money on it...I can't explain it, but I think some other guys might agree.

Price always depends on local market, but Rigid's comments & quote have no argument from me.

Just to say, a truly beautiful bike with incredible low mileage for the year, must be a great ride? Unlikely to ever find another with those low miles and in that condition. Might be one of those bikes you regret selling for the rest of your life, if you don't absolutely have to...?

Just another comment, that must be an old sign in the background, didn't even know you guys had that stuff in the US back in the day. Anybody else remember RC cola?
