Thought it would go higher

$148,100.00. The asking price on mine should be above that by June or July.

But, will it be listed AGAIN?! The winner has 10 transactions..........

JeffSTL · « **Reply #110 on:** February 10, 2014, 05:41:24 PM »

Could be that the kind of person who can spend $148k isn't buying a bunch of junk on ebay. This isn't an average auction...not sure feedback numbers are relevant.

Damfino · « **Reply #111 on:** February 10, 2014, 05:41:54 PM »

I wish we could tell what his top bid was....he obviously bid it to win it seeing as how he only bid once and that was yesterday!!

JeffSTL · « **Reply #112 on:** February 10, 2014, 05:44:48 PM »

Not sure why I was expecting something different, but the ending was rather anticlimactic.

yea, I had to retract my 150000 bid when I realized I couldn't get that much for my house and all my other possessions. Too bad, I'm bummed out...Larry

Hey Larry - here's a similar 1969 model that if you sell your house you could afford....

Didn't think the $148,100 bid would take. Thought for sure the last 5 seconds or so the bid would jump to $150,000 or more.

If I was to advertise under the SOHC- part/bikes wanted section for a restored Green Cb750 prototype for around $20k,could I count on you guys not to blow my cover?

Maybe I could swap the guy even up for Red Rider

. That is nicely done though but not for that price

Me too, while the price it sold for is nothing to laugh at I thought It would get closer to the 200,000 mark.

So now we know there were rare "pre-production" models with 26mm carbs, so what does that make the model shown in this 1969 article with single-cable PD style "32mm carbs"?

Brewsky..I have a Cycle Guide mag from March of '69 with the test of the 750. The photos show those carbs you're talking about.

Interesting......the Cycle Guide article linked in the forum from an unspecified month in 69 shows the 4-cable "regular" edition carb rack?

Very interesting...the mag that I have shows the master cylinder to be the one like on Vic's prototype. I'll see if I can scan those photos and put 'em here.
