Help identifying Year and exact Model please
« on: February 18, 2017, 05:37:59 PM »
Hey all I am just starting out and have been trying to do the research on my own but I cant find a clear answer to exactly what I have. My engine # says CB750E-240303 and the VIN says CB760-2524023, These numbers dont fall between any of the guides I have seen just would like to have a clear answer thanks for any help

 Numbers look like a match for a 1975 K model 750 or K5.  http://www.hondachopper.com/engine/engine_timeline/timeline.html

There is no such thing as numbers matching for old honda motorcycles. If you happen to find one I would go out and buy a lottery ticket!

Buy the bike as it is probably a low # sandcast worth more than the lottery ticket  ;D

Or one of the original 4 concept bikes! Now you're talking serious money.
