Sweet baby Jesus, people are losing their gorram minds... 

Fat stripe for that much is ludicrous.

[MoMo]

I vaguely remember a very low mileage Cb750 from Utah selling for way more than that on Ebay, Larry

A turd with an engine and wheels will get more comments than a sportster these days.

  It 's "twin" (listed as one yr diff.) only with 15,000 on it just went on Ebay last night (10-27) for $3,400.  Oddly the bidding startred on Oct 20th  and went for only 2 days until Oct 22nd.  From the 22nd  till 27th no bids.  No snipers evidentally either

  No reserve on it either.  If this was a KO then the 10,500 could even be a tad high.

   Does anyone know how many K's were made and more spefically how many made each of the 11 years these bikes were made.  I read or heard only 5,000 anniversary 79's were made??

That is a little on the high side for a 750 K4 but not completely crazy.

The Honda CB750 started in 1969 when the first CB750 K0s were made. The first ones ever made had engine casings that were cast in molds made from sand. I don't know a lot about how they made the molds or anything but the bikes are called "sandcasts". The serial numbers are CB750 1000001 to CB750 1007414. A mint condition of one of these goes for upwards of $40K since there are only 7,414 ever made. They produced a lot more K0s in 1969 but after serial number 1007414 they switched to a different engine mold.

In 1974 they introduced the Honda CB550 series. Thats why my 1975 CB550 is a K1. The Honda CB series are awesome bikes! They call them "bushmen" in Africa because if you take care of them they can run forever. I've seen some with upwards of 120k miles on them. Mine currently has 45K on it and about 4K on my newly rebuilt engine.


lmao I had this forum and my sportsbike forum open and I thought this was posted on the other ones. Of course you guys know this info already lmao

That ebay bike looks just like mine,
except for the rust and miles I've added to it.
