Hi all .I have not been here for a time sorry about that. I am thinking about selling or trading off my yeller bike.  77 Honda cb750k. I do not know what it is worth or how to go about this except for the local news paper. Any ideas. The bike is in the Fresno calif area. It runs and good. The base and head gasket show some leakage along with the kick starter seal. And the valve cover gasket. The chain has a tight spot and may need replacing or at lest I think it should be. New tiers. Dunlop 404 front and rear matched set. It could use a paint job as the yellow one is well ugly LOL. If any one can help me in this or give me Ideas what its worth or how to go about this great. I would rather sell it whole and to some one that can enjoy it like I have and maybe restore it. Most every thing is stock but bolt ons like the header, Paint and the gage faces as far as I know. The faces are white and the clock shows about 54,000 miles
 Thanks all for your help and if this is the wrong place sorry about that also. This is not a done deal mind you it is only some thing I am thinking of to give this bike a better home. I also would think about a trade for a newer bike as I do not have the place to work on it any more or the money to get parts for this one with my ssdi income . I am not doing this bike any good as now it has to be stored out side and not garaged like it was before . so any help is welcomed and thanks all.

You could always check the completed auctions on ebay for your region.  I bet you'll get a good idea real quick about what the going price in your area is.

Try selling thru this -

It's free.  You can post pix, too.

I'll second the vote on craigs list. Earlier this year I sold my CB350F in 15 minutes for $1,400.00, I got so many calls the phone was ringing a the whole time I was showing the bike to the guy who bought it. As soon as I sold it, I pulled the ad but people stilled called for several more days.

thanks all . normaly I never have to sell any thing a I run them to the ground but not this one .I babyed it as much as I could . I know that my riding days are numbered now and getting fewer so If i do sell I want some one that can care for it or use it to keep another on running or may be even restor it . I know i could break it up and sell it on ebay but that is not some thing i want to do . besides that it is a full numbers matching bike and reg for the curent year
again thanks all but if some one in the area wants it drop me an mail with offer. you never know what i will part with it for to the right person as I know what i got it for and what i have in it
thanks all
