So as the title states, I bought 6 Honda CB's yesterday and was hoping some of you could help me brain storm some ideas as to where to go from here. Here is a list of the bikes

(1) 1970 Honda CB750 (Early build 9/69)

(2) 1974 Honda CB750

(3) 1976 Honda CB750

(4) 1973 Honda CB750 (No title)

(5) 1975 Honda CB750 (No title)

(6) 1976 Honda CB550 (No title)

Some of these bikes are not complete. I was thinking of combining the 1973 & 1974 CB750 to make a complete titled bike. Also, combining the 1975 and 1976 to make a complete titled bike.

Any ideas?

As the old saying goes...no pics or it didn't happen

What is the serial number range on the September 69 K0 ?

Sit back and relax, you accomplished plenty, more than some of us in their entire life

But pictures would be great.

I will check the VIN on the 9/69 bike today. I am pretty sure its not a sandcast. It was off a few numbers I believe.

Here is a picture to hold you all over until I get to the shop today to go over everything. I was too tired last night from the long haul to pick everything up.

Hahaha I wish.

I bought my first Honda CB550 last spring and some how I have 25 CB's between my brother and I now. I fell in love with these bikes and I lost control some how.

nice haul, you lucky B@stid!

What state are you in? Might not be too hard to title the ones without 'em. In Tennessee it's easy.

rocs · « **Reply #8 on:** January 30, 2015, 07:33:53 AM »

I am in Pennsylvania. May have to go the Vermont route

Harsh · « **Reply #9 on:** January 30, 2015, 07:40:55 AM »

VA is pretty easy to get titles as well if you use the abandoned vehicle route.

There was a guy on here who had a K0 without a vin plate, just serial numbers and he was curious as to what month it may have been built in. Maybe he might see this.

Nice find! Where at in Pa. I live in the Nepa.

Maurice · « **Reply #12 on:** January 30, 2015, 09:01:35 AM »

Good on you. I think I saw them on CL, guy would not part the lot, correct? Worth it just for the K0, looks like.

Greggo · « **Reply #13 on:** January 30, 2015, 09:07:13 AM »

Subscribed to hear how early a diecast the K0 is!! Congratulations!

The oil tank is not K0, it has dimples.

Very interesting date/vin combo on your 9/69. My 10/69 K0 has vin 1008xxx, close to sandcast

guitarkev66 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 30, 2015, 04:22:38 PM »

serial number 1012xxx would be 11-69 so that would make yours around 11-69 or 12-69 .

I don't know what step 2 is, but step 3 is: Profit.

What do you mean? The frame tag states 9/69.

Sorry, I am clueless when it comes to CB750's. Always been a 550 guy.

So what exactly do I have here? Whats it worth?
