Hi Jerry!
That's a really cool idea and, now that I know, I bow humbly and in awe to Godzilla!
I'm but a newbi here and quite a "traitor" in the sense that I've only owned Italian bikes until last week - thanks to this forum - I found and bought the exact same model which my father owned and rode across the North African desert in 1973 with my mother as a pillion.
I'd be glad to participate... perhaps I could take Godzilla to visit the factory...? I'd be honoured to have him as my pillion as long as he promises not to stick his claws into my sides when we ride!

Just a brief story, how I came across the Honda CB750K:
My dad died last year and I've decide to buy all the vehicles which he owned until I was born.
Cars:
Fiat 500, Fiat 600 abarth, Fiat 124 Sport, 911 Porsche, Alfa Romeo GT 1.3, Alfa Romeo GTV 2500, Alfa Romeo Montreal, Alfa Romeo duetto, Lancia HF 1.6, Renault 25 (checking dates), Opel Ascona (diesel? still verifying)
Bikes:
Sim 50cc
Motobi
Mondial
>>> 5 year gap <<<
my uncles and aunts can't fill... this period.
Then my mother comes into play.
He started dating her picking her up on their first date in a Guzzi 8 bulloni - pre war - of my grandfather (which we still own). After that he went to pick her up in a:
Guzzi Galetto,
Guzzi Falcone,
Ducati Diana,
MV Agusta 150,
Benelli Tornado 650
always telling her that these were all his bikes!
In reality they were his many brother's rides!
What a man would not do to impress a woman!
Just before getting married he bought (for real, this time) a white Piaggio Vespa but my mother can't remember the cc...
My mother teased him so much about the downgrade that, immediately after married, as a reprisal, he bought an orange CB750K3... which he then sold for a Laverda 1000.
He then crashed the Laverda while riding with my younger brother, who was sitting on the tank as he was to young and small to ride and hold on to the back seat!!! No helmet either!
That was the end of my father's motorcycle life.
So far I found and bought:
Fiat 500,
911 Porsche,
Alfa Romeo GT 1.3 (the very same one in which I was conceived on the highway immediately after the wedding ceremony) in the photos I found the number plate and retrieved the car.
Lancia HF 16 (again, I found the very car from the photos).
Alfa Romeo duetto
Guzzi 8 bulloni
Mondial
Guzzi Falcone
Piaggio Vespa
and now the CB750 K3
I own also a Benelli, an MV Agusta and a Ducati (but modern models Tornado Tre, F4 and 998R)
