OK you know the rules by now, yes I make them up as I go along.

First prize is a chocolate fish (rare New Zealand delicacy) left over from last quizz when the winner failed to come and get it.
The bike is definately a CB750 I've owned it since I was a wee boy (at least a week then) and always wondered at it's pedigree.
Having the crem de la crem of Honda CB750 owners/rebuilders as fellow forum members I feel confident that someone will know.
Engine and frame number are a bit hard to see (electron microscope required) so you will just have to do it by eyeometry.

Best of luck...........go.

Rare Plastic model, maybe German

you sure that's plastic? I'd guess die-cast...

Nonesense !, that's a real bike....it's a Honda rip-off made in the State owner factory in some Commie Eastern Bloc country...Borat's got one....

I am guessing about 3 inches long..

i say plastic and "somebody" was to lazy to paint the whole frame black and wheels silver so hit the whole thing with a shot of gold, threw on the stickers and called it good. Sounds like the work of me when i was 8.

edit: and if you use the macro function on the camera the close pictures come out better.

Hey Hush, Is that a sheep in the background???

I'm guessing it is the ultra rare K1:48 scale model!

OK so it's one of my wee toys he he but I wondered if anyone could actually tell me what model/year the wee 750 is.

Here's a Beemer too.

Frankenkit · « **Reply #13 on:** June 07, 2009, 07:53:37 AM »

are you sure it's a 750? It's kinda hard without being able to actually *see* the valve tappets or dash, etc. I'm guessing an early, early K model because of the oil tank setup but I don't know #$%* about 750s.

754 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 07, 2009, 08:22:56 AM »

1st answer nailed it, unless a top view show different instruments..

birdmannn101 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 14, 2009, 03:16:39 PM »

I bought this CB750 back in my younger days and can't remember anything about it, not even what year it was. The picture isn't the best.

Ogri · « **Reply #16 on:** October 14, 2009, 04:09:07 PM »

~~I think it's made by Polistil, Italy. Quite early - 1973 ish ?~~
