 CB750 sandcasts sold for $18,150- 26,400- 29,700- 30,000- 31,900- 37,000. K0 through K1 sold between 7 and 12K. A 72 was 3850- a 74 was 9900 and a 76 went for 3850.
 I thought the sandcast prices held up well considering how many there are. I saw in past sales the one at the John Parham Museum sale that had many incorrect parts, some of these might have too.
 There were 69 K0's not advertised as sandcast, I guess there may be some, my 5511 got a 70 title, even though the 9800 bike that sold next left the same dealer with its 69 title.

 click on the day you want to see.

 I think the Kawasaki's saw a market correction, they came out of the woodwork and that's driving the price down, much like the Sandcasts. One just didn't sell at $16K, I think demand has been satisfied for this event.

 Prototype sold for $285,000. It must have been obvious who the bidders were, it went quick.

That’s a crazy amount (but significantly below the estimates?).

A blue-green K0 750 brought $13K pretty late, it was listed as a 1970 K1.

I would not been surprised if it sold for more. It's a 1 of 1...

 That was a chunk of change for a replica, more than the prototype, $330K which is difficult for me to understand even though it's an amazing bike in its own right. I'd love to know more about the 6 cylinder engine

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!
